Reservations in Education
See if you’d like to sign this. I am completely for giving equal opportunities to all people in India, but not through reservations. The Congress govt is a bunch of assholes, and while they have (deliberately?) not ensured quality primary/middle/high school education for all people in India in 55 years of being in power, which would make the economically and socially neglected people become competent and stand with their heads held high as equals among everyone, they choose to brush away all their shit under the carpet by coming up with such disintegrating (for our society, and nation) schemes such as these.

So much clarity in such few words! A few years ago when I visited Sri Lanka, in the interior areas, there were normal functioning schools at small intervals, along the road. The children were neatly dressed in uniforms and had smiles on their faces. Their schools were just with pillars, roof, and waist high walls. Even the man on the street was educated! If they, supposedly, a country poorer than ours can do it, what has held us back? Undoubtedly it is the lack of political will to work genuinely for the people’s education. Had the Congress party done it earnestly after independence, we would have been an educated electorate today! It served the politicians to have illiterate masses. For their own interest they have ignored the larger interest of the country and are making a bigger mess now by trying to appease vote banks, the very people that should have at this point in time been empowered through education. Had education spread, it would have automatically erased caste distinctions.

Reservation VS Merit
(Quality always score….)
I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let’s start the reservation with our cricket team.
We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by a OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century.
We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player. Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.
Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.
There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let’s recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians (that can really help the country…)
Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country…)
Let’s be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward…
Let’s show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country. Let’s be proud of
being an INDIAN..
May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live…
So, what do you think, huh???
(Just a different way to say the same, “No” …..)

MAY BE THE FUTURE IS LIKE THIS:-
Sun is rising as usual in the east. Im standing here outside the school,waiting for my 10 yr kid. He studies in
class 2. Only this year he could get admission into the school. For the last5 yrs, admissions were closed for the general category students.
School bell rings. I can see a lot of happy children
coming out of the gate, i waited for half an hour and my kid came at last after other children. Genaral students are not allowed to cross the gate unless other OBC/SC/ST students have crossed the gates.
OBC/SC/ST fathers drive away their children in classy cars. But i hv to walk back home with my kid a 5km stretch.
I lost my car some years back when Govt. came with a rule that general people have to deposit a tax equal to cost of their cars. Failing which I had to sell the car.
As far as buses are concerned, the seats in buses are reserved for OBC/SC/ST. So no place there also.
After walking some 5km in scorching heat i finally reached home. It was wednesday … shit , no electricity. Every mon,wed,thu,sat is power cut in the houses of General category population .So that SC/ST/OBC can be uplifted by
providing them with every opportunity and in that consideration electricity is an important factor. Its 10:00 pm in night no electricity at home. Its very hot inside the
four walls of home .So i dare to step out in park with my wife and kid.I seated myself with my family on a secluded bench in garden.
It was hardly 5 min … a guard came to us strolling in the park. He asked me what caste you belong to.
I said with some hesitation .. G..General.He asked me to pay a fine of Rs.200 and get out of the park.
My Fault… The bench i was sitting on was meant for again the SC/ST/OBC. For their upliftment, peace of mind is an essential things. So govt came with this decision to reserve benches for them.Kudos to them…
Its early in the morning …the newspaper wala just knocked the door. I took the newspaper and started reading ..,its independence day . i never used to forget this days some 20 yrs back. My kid hardly knows wat 15th august is,because i never told him any stories of greatness of our country or
anything realted to country.I don’t feel like telling him the failures after freedom.
On front page of newspaper, in a corner their is a news about a OBC member getting 6 months impriosonment in “BAL SUDHAR GRAHA” from a juvenile court for murdering and raping a six year old girl. Yes the rules have been
amended ,since the last 5 years.The Culprit was a 25 year old OBC so age relaxation was provided for trial of crime.So he was taken to juvenile court, since there is an age relaxation for OBC/SC/ST.
About 11 am some one gave me the BAD news about demise of
one of my neighbour and friend Mr.Mehta. I went to his house for condolence next day,his body was lying there still rotting in the heat.I asked his son about the Cremation .His son told me ” Many reserved category have died yesterday so we are not getting entry to creamtion ground “.
This rule is the latest from Govt.Where the seats in creamtion ground will be reserved for SC/ST/OBC for their upliftment. Finally next day Mehta ji was creamted.i could see the sun setting through the Flames burning a libarated Body, liberated from caste n creed. I was
surprised sun still sets in the west.?
it was about 9 pm , i was about to sleep in my bed my son came to me with innocence in his eyes , inquisitively he asked me the question:”what is reservation?”
I asked me where u listened that . he suddenly burst in tears .. i asked him to keep..quiet But i could listen through his sobs “mujhe bhi reservation chahiye”.
How can i convince him its no other toy in the market i can get for him?
He kept cryin that night ,claiming many of “his classmates have got reservation”.
To make him quiet I said ok ,i’ll buy you reservation at your next B’day. HOPE he understands the bloody concept soon .

Oh really!
It seems you have sufferred a brain damage by seeing untouchables and shudras getting education. In your fucking ’sacred books’, the sudras should have molten glass poured in his ears if he hears a word of knowledge’. Since these people are now getting education you have gone mad and started writing ‘…buy reservation..sell reservation..bloddy..’
You should first improve your english ..it will help you..
