Reservations II

For my earlier post refer -> Reservations

I am sure many of us (at least those in North India) must have face some trouble due to the Gujjar Reservation issue a few weeks ago.

These incidents of violence were just a trailer or where things might go from here.
For those who are unaware of the issue: Gujjar is a community which is categorized as OBC and enjoys limited reservation privileges. Now they want to be downgraded to ST(Scheduled Tribe) status.(ST is considered to be lower in the social ladder and so enjoy a lot more benefits from education to government job postings) . Not that they do not enjoy any but stepping to a lower rung would get them more.

Though they have calmed down now after an assurance that a committee would look into the issue in 3 months. But consider the consequences if they are granted the status!!!
Every other community would come on the road, hold governments to ransom and demand to to be downgraded. And then 100s of committees can be formed to look at it. And everyone can then be put into Scheduled Caste. (That would be wonderful).
All the politicians can then make election promises to get the community added to ST and thus procure votes.

On one hand, the ******* politicians are trying to divide on OBC status by getting them reservations in premier educational institutes, OBC communities are trying to move down to ST, and unreserved are trying to get into OBC. Now that is what I call "Survival of the weakest"(considering the social status), though nothing showed that they are underprivileged.

If only politicians start to realize the problems due to increasing reservations(I know they do realize but just that declaring it openly is not favorable to them..). Hoping at the judicial system takes notice and instructs the government to lay a concrete path to removing reservations gradually(wishful thinking!!!)

On the other hand... there is the Meena community...
(got to go... will continue some other time)

So much for equality...
