I found it really hard to believe that why so called OBCs need illegal benefit of reservation. Just go through the above link and see for yourself that out of 734 candidates selected in UPSC examination this year 286 are from General Category and 266 are from so called OBCs.
As I have already written so many times in my other blogs on reservation that there is no need for making casts as sole criteria for reservations in jobs and education. It may help STs but other than them its just serving purpose of the vote bank.
OBCs are well off to take care of themselves like general category. I know that there are poor among so called OBCs and if somebody can do a survey than I wont be surprised to hear that there are almost same number poor in so called General Category.
I fail to understand on what basis Ambumani Ramdas, PC Chidambaram, Lalu and Mulayam Yadav call themselves backwards? Something really wrong is going on here. This mindless reservation solely on basis of so called upper and lower cast has to stop. This is stupidity and mediocracy which we are propagating here.
This reservation policy is not giving any benefit to real needy but the cream who is already enjoying freebies is taking clear advantage. This non sense has to stop. Arise and awake Indians.

Reservation Of Non Meritorious Candidates: Deeply Flawed Policy to Further Divide India
The recent news of Supreme Court of India giving its nod to OBC reservation in premier Medical, Engineering and Management Schools is really disappointing for me and many others who feel that its time for resurgent India and our past baggages are only things which are holding us back. Let me be clear I am not supporter of Castism or neither I am against any caste. But this whole issue is so deeply flawed that I am not sure about its effectiveness.
As I have written in my earlier blogs that castes or classes were prevalent part of all ancient societies. I can say by studying our ancient scriptures like Bhagwat Gita and Veda that birth to someone was not the deciding factor of any one's caste. Even Magasthenese, The Greek Ambassador in court of King Chandragupta Maurya writes in his book Indica that there were some Seven castes in India. Lord Shri Krishna clearly says in Gita that birth is not the basis of anyone's caste. Its the balance of Three Guna, Sattva, Rajas and Tamas which decides anyone's caste or class. The higher the portion of Sattva Guna, more chances are that the person will be of Brahman in nature. Again the word Brahmin means one who knows the Brahma or the supreme reality. In that sense anyone can be a Brahmin if he or she has the caliber to achieve so. Right now too Baba Ramdev or Mata Amtrita Anandmayi are the real Brahmins and no one asks about their castes before bowing in front of them.
In every society on earth , in any time past or present, the ruling class is always small in compare to the people being ruled. So in US or in Europe you will see nexus of Politicians, Bureaucrats and big corporations which is ruling class, In Africa its warlords and like wise in India presently its nexus of corrupt politicians, criminals and bureaucrats which is ruling class. This ruling class although small in number, if gets corrupted simultaneously then it spells doom for the nation. In ancient times most of the Kings found their source of power flowing down from the wise men or priest class or Brahmins. If that priest class was getting selected on basis of their knowledge then its good for larger benefit of the common people. But only a good king will choose good advisers or priests. In my view the powerful class always likes the status quo as this benefits them and their families. They oppose change and generally dont allow many people to enter their class as it will make that power or source of wealth getting distributed in some more people and their share will become less.
In the similar fashion majority of the Brahmins, with help of ruling class made this castes mandatory on the basis of birth and it became more rigid as time passed. Its most ugly form was seen in 18th and 19th century, where there were many atrocities done on people on basis of castes. But there have been many atrocities similar to what we had in Europe and US too. I always had the view that a historical wrong cant be made right by another historical wrong. The time which is gone was different and what we have in present is different. I know that none of us ever asks about anyone's caste before going out and making friends with them. Its still there in case of marriage but I dont think that it will stay for long.
Every one should realize that there are many poor among the so called upper castes and I was one of them. I wasnt born with silver spoon and whatever I have now is because my parents made me work hard to study as they saw that it was the only way out. With God's help and some hard work I have achieved what I have now. The only time when I realized that I am a Brahmin by caste was the time when I had to fill forms for engineering colleges after passing 12th standard. I realized that although I had way higher marks in competitive exams than my classmates, they got really good government colleges, free books, calculators, drafters and scholarship. Just because they were of some lower castes they got everything better than me at that time. In all those cases all my classmate's father had the same income as my father did. And with that income my father had to take care of a large family like other so called lower caste families. Many of my classmates were not studying as hard as I did. I failed to understand why I am getting punished for what I havent committed. I consoled myself by thinking that it may be collective Karma of my ancestors. The Indian private sector came to my rescue after my studies and I got a great job from campus. I didnt tried much for govt jobs as seats were really less and all govt of india cared about is caste and nothing else.
I believe in affirmative action for disadvantaged section. But do you all really think that poverty has got anything to do with somebody's caste now? Its altogether a different time we are living in now. The policy which was meant for elevating status by giving someone freebies in education and jobs has just become a source of votes. Its really strange that Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar himself wanted the quota system just for 10 years and you see that even after 18 years the list of backward castes is not decreasing. It keeps on increasing every year. This policy is not serving the most disadvantaged and really creating a much wealthy layer among the backwards and they are the ones who are having the benefit of reservation again and again. Many backward castes like Yadav and Jats were rulers of some part of India. Lord Krishna was himself bought up by this Yadav clan and I really fail to understand how come his caste is among backward one? The most comical thing is to be seen in Tamil Nadu, where the state government is having 70% reservation and everybody wants themselves to be proven as more backwards then others. I mean whats going on.
I think that reservation in its present caste based form is promoting complacency and non hard working attitude in so many people. If you know that you will get a good government job even though you just score some third class marks in exams than why you would like to study and work hard? Is it that hard to understand by all of us?
The real help was needed for dalits which includes all SCs and STs and I dont think they are getting benefited from this policy in large numbers. The actual benefit is siphoned off by OBCs who have different quotas but simultaneously have all the means for getting good education by working hard. OBC families are well off like many general category families and reservation is giving them unfair advantage. We all cry for level playing field in Global forums but in India itself we are not treating all citizens equal. Making caste as sole criteria of reservation in education, jobs and promotions is deeply flawed mistake. We need good scientists and professionals to take India to its rightful place and I dont think that reservation policy in its present form helping it anyway.
Thats why I hate Congress and Nehru Gandhi clan so much. They are responsible for not providing good primary education to Indians. If it was provided and made compulsory for all Indians since independence , I think we wouldnt have been facing many problems as we are facing today in India. If congress wants reservation than it should first reserve Prime Minister's post to Indians and not some Italian Mama.
The solution is affirmative action and not some mindless reservation. I dont know why these political leaders doesn't think of poor among all Indians, why they still want to further divide my motherland on caste lines. The only answer is politics of votes. Its only awakening and mass awakening which can solve this problem. May Go d direct our intellect in right direction.

Problem of Reservations in colleges and Jobs In India
I dont support the current move of present Indian govt where they have decided to hike the seats and increase the reservations for OBCs, since as per some datas OBCs already constitute approximately 22% of these premier institues without reservations and the basic question remains the same.. The quality of students which are coming out from Center of excellence should be best and reservation on basis of someone's caste compromises this basic thing. I have of some solution to this problem.. As we all know Implementation is the main issue..
This protest is not against any caste or religion, This protest is against injustice in the name of reservation on the basis of castes. Most interesting thing of this whole reservation issue is everyone wants themselves to be proven more backwards than others to reap the benefit. This is retrogate and sick mentality which is of no use in new resurgent India.
Its cause for which we all have to sacrifice.. and stand up.. otherwise these greedy politicians who divided the country in name of religion till now will further divide this country in name of castes and all which is already done in many cases.
You might be aware of this that .. The caste or class is one of the most misunderstood thing of Hinduism.. But only for those who doesnt read the indepth about Hinduism. The castes or classes were meant for pure labor division in which the person was taking a job at which he was best.. Let me be clear.. I dont support caste system.. I am just trying to put my point of view here..
Like every society needs these 4 type of persons to function properly. Someone should be there to teach, someone should be there to defend the land from aggression and maintain law and order, someone is required to do business and someone is required for serving the society in different way than above three and castes werent supposed to be decided on basis of birth, the sole criteria was your karma and guna.. Means what u do is the basis of your caste and not from whom you are born.. there is no sanction to casteism on basis of birth in Vedas or Upanishads or srimad bhagwat geeta..
But later on in dharmashastra like manusmriti only its been given sanction.. but manusmriti is not equal to Vedas or Upanishads or geeta.. and we are free to adopt what we want and what dont want. The word Brahmin means one who knows the brahama or the supreme.. so in that sense anyone cane be a Brahmin.. who has capability to understand the god.. thats why although I am a born Brahmin by caste dont consider myself as Brahmin.. Since I dont have that capability
Problem with our youths is we dont read our scriptures .. and these politicians and traitors are ready to exploit the ignorance of the masses. Those who are getting benefited by reservation wont give it up even though this thing is costing them the self respect. This reservation is making them permanently backward always as they support the similar thing for their sons and daughters even though their status has already been uplifted through quota.. In my view those who are getting admitted through quota are themselves admitting that they cant stand in competition with others.. and they need crutches to walk..
I have foolproof solution to this problem.. We all know there are some students who doesnt get good education because they are poor and their parents cant afford the education.. since I have made my way up from similar circumstances.. so i know the pain..it was difficult for My Father to pay for my engineering fees.. i was having good rank and those who has just scored half of me got the seats of good branches in govt colleges..even though they havent been able to come close to me in school days.. Just because of caste. Their fathers were making the same money or in cases even higher money than my father.. So the families whose gross annual income is below 1,50,000 rs should be given the benefit of reservations.. but with certain conditions.. which are discussed below..
So reservation should be given to ppl on economic basis.. irrespective of castes and religion.. and that too in school or at primary level.. they should be given financial support.. so that they can get best education at primary level.. and stand in competition.. after they clear the competition they should be given the financial support to continue the education.. and reservation should stop here.. there should be no reservation in jobs.. Even after all these support a person cant get job than there is no use to give him or her the job..
And if one of the parents has benefited by reservation than it should not be passed on to children .. since the sole purpose of reservation is upliftment of the backward section of society.. and this caste thing will get disappear automatically and I am sure that none of us has ever asked any of our friends about their castes before hanging out with them.. Noone has asked Baba Ramdev's caste before bowing in front of him.. No one has asked Mata Amrita Anandamayi's caste before hugging her.. The so called backward Yadav's, Jats were ruler of some part of india.. The Mudaliars and Chettiar backwards of south are basically merchant and traders.. P Chidambram belong to backward caste and he wanna remain backward even though he has achieved so much..
Times have changed.. wrong has been committed to ppl on basis of their castes.. that has happened in every society every country.. but a historical wrong cant be rectified by doing another historical wrong.. otherwise we might have to attack Afghanistan for what Gazani or Ghori did to us.. or to Britain for what they did to us.. or to Greece for what Alexander did to us.. or native Americans have to throw out all others who are here..
This is 21st century and ppl should understand.. Nation should come first.. and its our duty to inform and educate others... Spread the word...This whole thing is dirty politics nothing else.. congress which ruled 50 years on nation havent concentrated on good primary education.. and this is all becoz of this only.. No political party can oppose the reservation since they are all for votes..
But someone has to stand up and say it loud and clear.. no more division of the country.. A new political party is needed.. with new ideology for developed India.. these all oldie politicians have got nothing for us.. India is young nation, 70% population is below 40 years of age and ppl understand logic if presented in good ways.. Revolution.. Total revolution.. Mass awakening is need of the hour.. Arise and awake indians.. take destiny in ur own hand.. otherwise these oldies will destroy india..
Arise and awake Indians
