OBC Hullaboo


Empower them !!

I regret the pledge we used to sing proudly in school – reconciling our self with the fact that India is a secular , sovereign , socialist , democratic republic !! Or is it ??

Well I remember myself being down with cold one fine day, and my granny trying to fish out a decent doctor in the neighborhood (we were knew in d area) – I just remembered seeing a docs name around d corner and dragged my granny to that place – she pulled my hand back and said “that doctors name is KORE which means he is an SC/ST – so he has definitely got admission from quotas and may not even be worth prescribing medicines to a DOG!!

Oour politicians and dalit supporters claim that till INDIA INC and Higher Level educations starts embracing dalits and other backward classes – there would be no upliftment. Dear sir/s – the question is not about embracing dalits but about accepting these so called underprivileged who are brought up in a cradle of quotas cos every1 know they aren’t worth it !!

With such frail policies as quotas – u r downgrading them much more then they can grow in an atmosphere of empowerment. If our babus want more votes - make education free for everyone who is economically underprivileged and not religiously disadvantaged!! Give them free education, free hostel… free books.. But only to theose who deserve it !! We all have seen SC-ST students joining higher education on as low as 40% marks and then give up in a yr or 2 thus wasting that seat..

The recent OBC issue is worth dying for, hats off to the AIIMS students who had the guts to voice out!! And a middle finger to all those tardy politicians who decided to opt for silence during passing the OBC vote..

Ironically, OBCs are the most affluent of all the backward and underprivileged classes and I know most of them being on higher economic hedges then most of us – then y this outright mockery of the constitutional rights for all the open categories!! With so many reservations for every unheard category, a paltry 5-10% remains for the open classes.. so is a unforeseen revenge that has been bestowed upon the privileged many !! Lets all come together and fight for a quota even for an open category!! I guess that’s the only way out of this mayhem
