POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION

Disclaimer: this post does not intend to hurt any person's sentiments . Its just an individual 's viewpoint and please be free to express yours by rating it at the end of the post

Venue:an engineering admission centre

student 1: how much did you score in the entrance exam?
student 2: 100
student1:that's very less. you will have to struggle for the admissions!!
student 2 : yeah..what about u?
student 1: 78/200
student 2: then your condition is more worse
student 1: I need not worry,,I am in the reserved category!!!! fellows like you from the open category are gonna terrorised..ha ah ha ha...




This is a true conversation that took place recently between two engineering aspirants. this is what is happening in our country.We claim that caste discrimination is completely abolished from India. But it isn't. Employment, education, and many other sectors are still under the influence of this social evil. Only difference is that in ancient India, it was the backward castes who were oppressed , whereas in the modern Indian society, the open category..(higher castes) are the ones suffering.

I am not at all against the reservation system..but against the type of reservation. we are almost into the 64th year of independence, and is it still necessary to provide reservation on caste basis?? Most of the backward castes are now developed and their standard of living is not poor as before. If any reservation is to be provided , then why not on the basis of annual income of the family?
The caste system in ancient India was a dreadful disaster. The backward castes were deprived of every opportunities. Maybe that's the reason why Dr. Ambedkar formulated a constitution where the scheduled castes and tribes were given prior importance.But the prime reason behind it was to bridge the gap between the low caste poor men an the rich higher castes.
If we consider the life standard of the so called low castes now, then its much improved. The ones that are still suffering belong to the below poverty level families. They can be considered by reserving them according to the family income..
due to this present system of reservation,,many deserving students are deprived of a chance of studying in good colleges since their seats are allotted to the reserved categories.

guys,if you belong to a reserved category , then you might feel awkward reading this article.
But dont u think this is discrimination ?? Should we allow this to underestimate the calibre and merit of the students??? Isn't it high time that the system change???

The students have to pay high donations to secure a seat in a professional course like MBBS or ENGINEERING,,then whats their mistake if they become corrupt officers in the future??
GUYS.....its high time our country wake up....the youth of our country should learn from the example of vicky and vivek who denied a seat under reservation in the most prestigious college in the country---IIT.( click here to know more.)
so what you think??? What can we do ??


I am too busy to care, but want to do something. Jaago Re and BlogAdda.com are helping me do my bit for the society.

QUESTIONS UNANSWERED

I am back to blogosphere after a long time....its a sort of back home after a long time feeling....MISSED THIS BLOGGING WORLD A LOT....

Last week Mumbai was completely on alert. This alert was actually  the impact of dreadful 26/11...
You could see police officers almost on every nook and corner...
armed with big guns,,,bullet proof jackets and the suspicious stares on almost every person,..
Even I could not escape the stare and enquiry from an inspector at the C.S.T railway station...

I was pretty impresed by the securities and other facilities in mumbai on that particular day....

But one question that arised in my mind was...why only on that day...26 nov of every year ,,,,??

Is it that the terrorists will atack mumbai only on that particular day???

Why only 26 of nov......dont we need to protect the city on other days???
It was only on this day that we witnessed  terrorism in the nerves of mumbai....else its a normal day for the mumbaikars

...Now once the terrorist attacked on 26/11 in 2008...so  mumbai is on alert  only on that day..other wise no big guns and bulletproof  jackets...no bag ckeckings and no detectors...

the detectors installed at various places are almost paralysed ones....big frames at various doors...and entrances with red light flashing every now and then...

If  proper measure were taken before 26/11/2008 we could have avoided the experience
my question is .....why do we neglect the protection of our country,,??? does that mean 11/7 or 26/11...and such remarkable dates in the history of terrorism need to be on alert...

When the entire country is bust with the politics..spectrums...parliament shoe throws...elections...and collapse of rule....and various other issues.....,,,,we may not even know when we succumb to the call of this dreadful demon of terrorism..

The protectors of the country may be busy with the protection of a politician or a film star...the media may be covering a story on dongi baba....and the country wont even know..wen the terrorist came...and the attatck took place,,,exactly like what happened during the 2008 terror....

why talk about the prevention......when the cure is yet to be discovered!!!

the aftereffects of the 26/11 attack....is that a better one...??

ours is a country where the the judiciary takes decades to make a decision...DECADES???....some cases it took....CENTURIES.....!!!

What happened to kasab???

he is the most protected person on the country now......

why are we wasting time to prove that he is guilty.....???

Its obvious that every mumbaikar wants him to be hanged......we expect him to suffer the worst......and what do we get as answer to this expectation??
Is it the scene of our ministers enquiring about goodwill of the terrorist?

Do you think the souls of the police constables , officers and even the common men who lost their life on 26/11 will  ever be able to rest in peace.....Was it for this that they sacrificed their life....?

ALL that remains is a set of unanswered questions........AND the fear of safety,,,


HATS OFF TO THE SPIRIT OF MUMBAI THAT REMAINS ALIVE AFTER MANY DREADFUL EXPERIENCES
