What
sort of democracy are we having?
Voice
of common man is not heard. And when important
man, or the person who matters, speaks,
he is suppressed, with threats of action
and expulsion from the party. This is what
happened to Ms Uma Bharati, when she dared
to talk against her leaders. The same thing
is probably going to happen to Ms Shalinitai
Patil, when she gave her mind strongly and
positively against quota/ reservations system
(Refer TOI Mumbai, dated 24th May '06).
The UPA Govt. is bent upon bringing the
most unfortunate and, controversial legislation,
just to appease OBCs, and get their votes.
Shalinitai has talked sense, giving reasons
for not favoring reservations in colleges,
and else where. She should be praised and
patted on her back for her valuable and
thought provoking reasons. I agree with
her hundred percent.
As per Indian constitution, we say, we are
all equal. Then why this rift and reservations?
Why are we dividing country on caste and
creed basis? English people had a policy,
to divide and rule. The Congress Govt. has
probably mastered this lesson, and is systematically
destroying our cohesive structure. It is
creating unequality and hatred among people.
Country will greatly suffer with this or
similar legislations.
Increasing seats is no solution either.
If Student with 95% marks, and another with
35% marks, study together, then at what
level should the Professor teach? Given
the task, he will try to teach at mid level.
Result, both the students will not follow.
The whole Standard will fall down. We are
only talking on Global level, but we cannot
practice Global.
It is true that OBCs have to come to the
main stream. They also must get almost equal
rights. But reservations are no answer.
Give them books free. Slash down fees in
their case considerably. Give them some
handicap; say 5- 10 marks in total. Then
let them compete. This way they will get
help, and still the standard of education
(or jobs) will be maintained. This practice
was being followed in Engineering Colleges.
If one had passed Drawing examination, he
will get 5 marks added to his total marks.
One also used to get 5 marks extra, if he
had served in NCC, or represented college
in Sports, and so on. Some similar system
could be evolved, and handicap given to
OBCs.
But for God's sake, Pl do not divide the
Country, only for votes sake. And do not
compromise principles for short gain. And
do not scuffle voice of our seniors like
Ms Shalinitai Patil.
