as NRN keeps saying, i would have appreciated if Karan had repeated the same statement (IN GOD WE BELIEVE, EVERYONE ELSE MUST BRING DATA !!!) to shut Kamal Nath's ridiculous response when asked to comment on the NSSO findings. Karan should have said to Kamal Nath that if he doesn't have data, then he has no case for arguing that point.
simple close and shut case!

If the government is bent upon on providing reservation it should be only in one level...either in school or in college or in industries...why give them the benifit all through out.Also it would be better if only one or two generation get this benefit as by then they would become the creamy layer. Also people using this benefit should have certificates where in it should be menioned that they have passed not through merit but through the help of our politicians. ...............................
Also people getting jobs through reservation should be made to pay a special tax which should be used for the betterment of the ST/SC n OBCs...

It would be great if you can bring Mr. Manmohan singh and Mrs. Sonia gandhi in this forum. Manmohan singh, because he is PM and supposed to know at least what his cabinet is thinking which Mr. Kamalnath is fervently opposing. Sonia gandhi, because before saying a word, all congressman first expresses their unflinching loyalty to her leadership. All claim to be guided by the Sonia Gandhi in whatever they do. Let her appear in the interest of this nation and clarify this doubt. At least we will know who is behind all these reservation issue. We are ready to tolerate her stuttering english and unconvincing argument, but let her say at least once in whatever langauge she feel comfortable that, Ayes these are my puppets singing my own song.
And If manmohan singh has any concious left, He must appear and tell in straight terms whether he is with Kamalnath and arjun singh or not. What these people are claiming that things will be discussed in cabinet. It is already discussed very much in public sphere. Let all the public figures make their stands very clear like the 2 national knowledge commision members who resigned from their posts.

'Youth for equality' should be renamed 'Youth for inhumanity'. They are proving to be true sons and daughters of their ancestors who perturbated unmitigated injustice/cruelty for five thousand years. It that very mindset that is at display even after 60 years of democracy and modern education. They should thank their stars for the tolerant nature of the lower castes.

who so ever u might be , but how can u give reservation to someone who studies in same classroom for 4-5 yrs of courses , stays in same hostel rooms, have the same mess food , get the smae books infact better library facility than any other general category students. y a seat which is there only for the deservin candidate on merit b given to someone who cannot get scores for it even after in similar environment all thruout..resevation in higher education shuld be opposed and dear i feel shame on those fellow who get in there where there more than 1000 students who made more marks then the reserved candidate .. if he or she frm which ever caste can get markd plz take the post graduate seat......... arise pple these politician will give u all possible support but y at someones elses cost....... and someone else who is more deservin than u....... even after graduation where there is quota if ur family and so called society pple are backward then tell those guys to work for something tat will uplift theeir own society and not take advantage of qupta and achieve seat without marks........ plz tat wont be tolerated and youth for equality is doin right job..

kamal nath started contradicting his own statements in the beginning. and its illogical to implement reservations based on caste, it's acceptable if on place(rural, urban) esp. for higher education, because, students from rural areas may have less privilages than their urban counterparts. but after bachelor's degree where everyone recieves the same privilages, its stupidity to impose reservations. it is so even to every industry based on caste, mr kamal nath was indicating himself the importance of place(certain districs being more popular). mr. arjun singh is making a fool of himself with this issue. i request cnn ibn to interview arjun singh. that'll be more funny!

it was shown by the cnn - ibn reporters how easy it is to get an obc or a st certificate, why the hell not even one mionister is looking into that problem why are they behind the students why dont they make thatd epartment clear, so from now on every upper caste child can go and get an obc certificate for just 5oo rs, is this called reservation for a particular section of society? why is arjun singh behind the medicos what have they done wrong to them? reservation after 10th is not enough so you are implementing it in higher institution as well.

India is shinning or future super power / economical power is because of its very highly talented People .but not b'caz of these shameless poloticians.Did Kamalnath told the world while begging them to invest / or start abusiness in India that they have to appoint the staff basing on Quota/Reservations but not on merit.

Even some of our intellectuals,now put in KEY POSITION of India were the Ambasadoors of India 2020- India shining. Why those excellent personalities are keeping mum in this issue of Extending Reservation??? Are those ambasadoors alive??? Don't they think that reservation is the MEGA MISTAKE committed by the formulators of Indian constitution??
