For those who don't know Arjun Singh, he happens to be one among the 543 idiots that were wrongly elected to Parliament by the people of India. Unfortunately, he also happens to be the Union HRD Minister.
He is 93 years old, talks sense sometimes, but rubbish most of the time.....and is a vily old fox!!
Ever since his announcement that the government will go ahead with the proposed 27% reservation for the Other Backward Castes(OBC's) in premier educational institutions, he 's been under the line of fire....Lets analyze some of the reasons for this proposal...
Reason #1: Arjun Singh just happened to refer the Mandal Commission report on reservation of seats/jobs for the socially backward people. This report was presented to the Indian Parliament way back in 1980 and was partially implemented by the then prime Minster V.P. Singh. The hero relies on the facts that were collected in 1980 and wishes to reserve seats for the Other Backward class people in colleges now. He shows a deaf ear to the current sitation prevalent in India.
Reason 2: The Congress wishes to stay in power for the next tenure, so they want to implement this policy as soon as possible. This way, they 'll get votes from the Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribe/ Other Backward Class people, who form a majority of the Indian population. This is what we call Vote-Bank politics.
But what the Congress doesn't know is that, a good portion of the OBC's themselves are against reservation.
Reason 3: Brahmins, who were the creators of the so-called caste system then, have to eat dust now. They want the situation to do a full U-turn. The reason they give is that, brahmins hold key positions in important organisations and they have been doing that for a long time now. They need to be replaced at any cost!!
Let me tell you something, I am all for the upliftment of the socially and economically poor. But I am totally opposed to this stupid policy of reservation by the government.
Let's take a situation....an ordinary student and an SC/ST/OBC student...
an ordinary student studies almost 12 hours a day for 2 years to get into an IIT...and if he gets through, he is able to manage the demanding schedule because of this rigorous training...
This many not be true in all cases, but this does happen....
An SC/ST/OBC guy attends classes, but scores just 40% of the marks the other guy has scored. But he gets an admit to the IIT. Now who do you think will manage to complete the course? Who do you think recruiters will prefer? Who do you think will contribute to society?
Premier educational instituitions are the heart of India. Think how you feel when someone partially blocks the blood circulating to your heart and brain.....do you feel like you are alive??? Well that's how we look to other countries.....
The jewels of a nation are its youth....and if you don't allow youth to prosper on merit...well then, just throw the country to the Dogs!!!
Jai Hind!!

Good one buddy. You spelt out the feelings that most have burning inside them. No damn person in India is against reservation but they are against the dirty politics behind it. Instead of reserving seats based on caste, put that amount on helping the poor students who are unable to meet ends.
We all feel the same way about such widespread and unfocussed reservation schemes. I definitely think that OBCs and SC/STs need more help, but this should come at the primary school level. So that when they get to the college level, they should be able to compete with the rest of the society. Did you read Karan Thapar's interview with Arjun Singh when he reduced the minister to a bumbling idiot?
Damn these political bastards. They must be sentenced to death.
