If you talk about discrimination, it is the Hindus in general and muslim women in particular, whose rights have been usurped by muslim men and all the christians down the ages. I wont be surprised if IIT-seats are being robbed by christians who are insidiously more powerful than the muslims that they use for their sinister designs. Dalits have now much better status. Their whining is mostly instigated by the minority hoodlums and goondas. Mixing of religion and academics, religion and politics is the exclusive practice of the evil minority of India.

The naked "Guilt" of Arjun Singh is seen dancing before the roving eye of Karan Thapar. Congratulations Mr Karan Thapar you have managed to un-veil the hidden agenda of the seasoned politician like Mr Arjun Singh. Now it is for we people to understand that what exactly is the motive of the politicians in introducing the reservations for OBCs.
If the parliamentarians have limited there vision to the extent of there vote bank only, than we as the people of the country have committed serious error in choosing our leaders. The Govt is proving to be thoroughly inadequate and hopelessly helpless in resolving this issue. Let us now take the initiative ourselves and start a constructive debate within us i.e. OBCs and Non-OBCs as citizens of independent India and draw a suitable and sustainable conclusion of this long pending issue. Once we initiate the process all the misgivings would be removed automatically. We the people of India believe in co existence and there is ample love and affection between us to sustain these relations,so don’t let these people with vested interests exploit and divide you on caste basis.
With Deep Regrets.

It is a very shameless pushing forward of ideologies from the dirty opportunistic school of politics, that too by a minister who is here to take care of interests of Human Resource. if i am not mistaken, when we talk about HR ministry we talk of a unified definition of HUMAN, we don't talk about casteism in it. i will just say that it has brought bad name to the Government and who all politicians involved, have developed a bad image which is going to effect their and their generations' social standing.

It is, as if these politicians are hell bent on doing whatever they feel is right, irrespective of whether the people of the nation need it or not. Its horrible and shameful. It is as if they are Ruling the country instead of leading it.

the most important face of this whole issue is ...that to a genration who were finaly erasing the word 'cast' out from their memory this issue has brought it right in front of them...i know my elders talkin about who belonged to wchich cast ,but this generation was not ,imagine a 15 year old now askin his parents "mom what is this issue about whop are OBCs "... oh cmon nobody is against equality but this is the easiest solution not the best..some very intelligent people hold the positions to bring about positive changes in our social system but this ...it seems was a decision taken in a hurry,without any transparancy ,without clearly explainin the logic behind....the problem is evryone knows theres a problem of unequality in our society but we dont find the best solutions rather the ones wchich comes first to our mind...

We as a civilization have come this far sitin on d whims n fancies of a chosen few!D irony being d fact dat we have chosen these so called elites of our societies! Frens, indians , country men..(or m i xaseratin thins!)y wud an elite decision maker think of d common lot if his son/daughter does not have to go thru d almamatars of d country??n if atall he / she has 2 do so then again d resevation thing comes to his/her aid!! So if we are xpectin some kind of a rational decision from them then i dont think INDIA IS LEFT WID NE MORE RATIONAL PEOPLE. It does hurt me as it wud 2 ne reasonable person, but wid these bunch of hypocrites,n wid our policy of non interference, we r surely headin 2wards a 2morrow where fundamental rites wud be no more than bedroom gossips. I here upon call upon d ones who wud avail these reservations 2 boycott it, coz the near future wud throw them in d same spot as it has done 2 many now!it'z just a matter of time when these elite wud turn their pseudo democratic fallacy into sheer dictatorship! Plzz wake up lets not let these ppl divide us n rule us , ....as if it were their birth rite!

It is very shamefull for us because Our politicians always talk for Equality. How can we think? When we are seeing all politicians are divinding our counrty like case basis, religion basis etc...... All politicians are not working for our people, only for vote bank. This is very danger signal for our country. In fact, we develope all people through the awareness. We cannot compermise with quality.

The whole episode stinks and it is shame on the part of Sonia Gandi and Manmohan to tow along with this Devil of a man just for political benefits. And they talk of serving the country!!If at all they had a little sense of doing something to the country at least one of them should have stepped down citing this issue only and should have refuted Arjun's claim that it has all their support.The very fact they kept quiet stinks a mile and what more!! Governemnt finally took away the steam from the protests via the supreme court, which the students should have realised. After all , it is Power that speaks everywhere!!
