As the debate over the reservations for the OBCs divides the country, Karan Thapar asks Human Resource Development Arjun Singh - What are the government's real intentions? Read The Article
We Know history of Israeli’s Americans slaves, Japanese, India and History of world. Where are Moguls?? Where are the Britons.?? In India.?? Any suppressed segment of a society would one day will get chance to raise and look for their turn. That is natural Justice. Still TIMES OF INDIA Hindustan times, Hindu, and all leading news paper carries classifieds for matrimonial a big way with castes. Who ever claim equal opportunity ready to cement that social rights first??? and ready make upper and lower mix caste wise???. But if that not happened there is real threat in future, which would based on the identity. MEDIA, which always criticize politician, have ever mind their advertisement policy of news papers and TV Channels for their ethics.

There are some political parties and person who are mainly interested in cooking their feast on the fire of reservation. Here are some facts 1. cast cannot be the basis of poverty 2. In a secular country if u do reservation on the basis of cast then it means u are favouring a particular religion because cast sustem is only in Hindoos 3. Originally when it was propogated by some Popularity greedy politician, it was never expected that there will be a compromise on quality, That means if a general and quota candidate both have same marks same qualifications then preference should be given to quota candidate. 4. Government should also issue a white paper with a statics that if there is a 100% reservation then within how much time will it take for all the deserving and undeserving quota candidate will get the job 5. Finally if politicians are trying to present an example then the should have 100% reservation for their immediate sectries, Doctors, Drivers, Security personnal etc. etc BUT these are not goinmg to happen because the Masters Said DIVIDE AND RULE

It is high time the Government becomes more proactive to extend the benefits of liberalization and globalisation of the Indian economy, to the socially and economically challenged section of population through the introduction of employment reservations into private sector industries and elite educational institutions . Is TCS, Infosys, Reliance etc. listening ?

Sir,
It is not matters what was done before 1000 years, bue what we wanted to do and what we are doing. Why reservation continued to be same even after 50 years? What is the target? We are undeveloped as for reservation but when it comes to FOOD SUBSIDY then we are developed that we can scrap it? why do reservation be continued again and again for same family who have been uplifted? Is it not vote politics? Why nobody bothers for other castes who are poor?

I request all citizen of India to think ,whether we need Parliamentry Democracy, run by inept, corrupt,incompetent , criminal and communal politicians who are dividing the nation on the basis of caste,creed and religion. No bobdy is better if UPA led by a lame duck Prime Minister is bad and NDA is worse. The agenda of UPA is to divide the nation on basis of caste shall breed incompetence and ineffecency in the society. Both parties are corrupt and breed dissatisfaction in the society.The nation needs a strong DICTATOR so that the money spent in the name of elections to elect inept politicians, at least shall be saved and spent on development. Does a politician think that the country needs a good education system, better Health care management , sources of Drinking water and channels for Employment and sound Law and order to make the society a place to live. These are not their priorities. Politician's agenda is Power and not Education and Development and communal harmony.

VERY GOOD. Arjun Singh should be honoured.
One more thing in to do is brings OBC out of the cremelayer otherwise this reservation policy is useless because STILL it works IN FAVOUR OF GENERALS

Hi Rajesh, I doubt whether you want the India's progress? Can u expect the inept persons who came by reservations will make this country powerful? Why should we still divide the cpuntry on the basis of caste, religion etc.. Atleast the young generation like us, should work for the progress of the Nation with true heart.
If we really want every citizen of India to get proper education, then we should support them economically not through reservations.

Dear CK... Your question about inept persons… I think most of the generals categorized people are of ill mentality and seriously focused against the development of backward community people and they want to keep them away from opportunities deliberately. They are unwilling to give the opportunities to backwards But because of our Constitution in which everything is clear about Reservation Policy they are bound to give the share in political power, educational institution etc.
I forcefully can say that the people who point out us should be incompetent and they fear for the transformation of the power what the have been exercised since long back. And now you tell me that who are the hurdle in progress of the country.
Being the extremist. I will help you to know why our people need Reservation:-
After Independence the Upper Caste people are only running the Government. Being disloyal with our Constitution, they have misused the power that is why the backwards are backward today and need the Reservation. And you can see that corruption cases are daily getting disclosed against them, and they are mostly the Upper Caste People. One thing you always keep in mind before going against this: ‘Reservation can never slow down the progress of the country. Only Corruption and the dirty Politics played by the Upper Caste People is responsible for this”
Caste, religion is not today’s problem it is brought out by only the Aryans(intruders) who are the forefather of the ‘VERNA’(manuwaad) system.
SO DON’T U THINK THAT THE YOUNG GENERATION LIKE US SHOULD HELP THEM BRING OUT OF SUCH position AND LET US WORK FOR THE PROGRESS OF THE NATION.
Because progress of these people is a progress of India. If u know 80% of India resides in village and who dwells in villages are mostly backwards”
Hope you are satisfied with this.

Well you say that upper caste people exploits lower caste people. I ask how ?
You said reservation is needed for the progress of nation. The statistics reveal that still one third seats that are reserved for OBCs are unocccupied. So why do we need to increase them. To properly utilize the resources of nation we should decrease them to two-third.
Third you say higher caste people are feared to tranfer of power from them to lower caste people. First there is nothing like power in democratic nation. Higher cast people dont have more power than you. You have all the right that they have and in some cases you hav certain benifits which they dont have. Still you want reservation on the basis of castes.
It would be better if it would have been on the basis of poverty and basic facilities availabe in certain locality.
In your eact words "After Independence the Upper Caste people are only running the Government. Being disloyal with our Constitution, they have misused the power that is why the backwards are backward today and need the Reservation" So First reservation were introduced by people in our government only. Whether uppercaste or lower caste they only introduced the reservation in constitution provide all the people same kind of oppertunites. And they said that as equality will come, reservation will go down in percentage and will be removed. If u dont agree that lower caste people are not progressing you can check the statistics that of just after independence and of now.

Hi Rajesh,
I would like to quote two of ur points here 1. You said 80% of population are backward classes 2. 20%of upper class people are suppressing the 80%. Don't you think this two statements are absolutely contradictory. How come 20% of people can suppress 80%? Then why dont all these 80% elect a backward class people and come forward in this society. For ur kind information, I am also a backward class(OBC). But still i would say this is against the national unity that we are encouraging the cast problem still in india. Just think that you have scored 99% marks and you didnt get a seat just bcoz of this reservation. Then you can also undestand the pain. One day all top officials in India would be a person having scored a mark of 50% and 60% and thereby killing the quality in job.

Now this is a wake up call for all Indians, these politicians say we got to spend 8000 cr on education (what is the problem in it) if they can give free TV in the state travel in helicopters, organize parties, luxury life out of our tax money, why not spending money on the root level, where the SC, ST, OBC come from. Give our brothers a better foundation and remove this caste system of dividing India. I don’t want a doctor of 50% merit to give medical treatment to my family when we can afford to have 90%. This can be compared to the bidding being called for the infrastructure development, why doesn't they give quota to the Indian firms on the same basis. Now please this is coming out to be the stupidest thing to happen in the name of democracy. People are the supreme power. So better don’t challenge it. You got to do what we want and now all the Indians got to join hands to fight back. Jai hind. Respect to all, freedom to all. No cast, no reservation please.
