a post long due...
Reservations … me too…
I need reservations for entry in premier schools / govt. occupation… my class – general middle class …
The concept of reservation was introduced to uplift the socially and educationally backward citizens of India so that the overall quality of living of discriminated society improves.
The major issues I see if this happens…
1) the discrimination against the backward class will rise… it’ll be general vs others … general seats are fully paid too … which will deepen the divide… (free seat wala vs. paid seat wala)
2) more and more general category people will list themselves into OBC category – resulting in filling up of pockets of local administration (channel for proving your category as OBC is through administration/DM/Collectors office) – a step to degradation of civilization per say…
3) the overall performance of the institutes will degrade… the percentage of people from backward community performing good (if not better) is very low … resulting in lack of conformance from the recruiters … which means that though there will be requirements for the jobs… there will be scarcity of jobs (IRONY!)
4) once such condition is given a go ahead more and more such conditions would be forced … the attitude of getting things done (rather getting away with work) using mob mentality will be high … the attitude towards work would change to attitude towards no work with full pay and fun… closing on doomsday!!!
5) Private colleges with no quality – full of gyan and frolics ... will result … those who have money might survive – others perish…
I am not going to comment more as a lot has been said in many other blogs…
Sardar Sarovar – Narmada Bachao …
The politics and media are making a mess out of nothing… I am not too sure of what exactly the issue is until I saw a documented effort by one of these media only… (for some reason those few minutes did make some sense) … however, things seems to taking a different turns of all the things… from my point of view… there should be some powers given to president (of India) to intervene and take action against activities (or rather non-activities that should have been done)… I hope the issue get resolved… as the issue is of chicken & egg… people (poor people) vs. countries growth (& politicians too)…
Mandir – Majzid bombing
I am Hindu (though I believe in liberal atheism) and I am forced to think that way… not to create an argument or offence to fellow Muslims… but few things trigger my attention related to recent bombings – one in varanasi and other in delhi
In Varanasi – bomb blasted on Sankat Mochan temple on Tuesday evening – Tuesday is the day for hanuman (aka Sankat Mochan) and evening is when most of the Hindus visit this temple. From Hindu mythology – this temple has a lot of significance… and the timing of the blast had a major impact… moreover the intensity of the blast was huge…
Now, in Delhi at Jama Masjid, the blast happened post prayers … when the population in side the mosque was thin and the blast was very small (the bomb was very small) – having very little impact… though Jama Masjid is of equal importance as of SM Mandir, I felt it was just to show off and drag the focal point to different direction…
I don’t know why but I have this weird feeling that the Delhi bombing was not to create terror but to deviate the attention of forces or trigger another communal violence backed by political parties for there own benefits…
