this one's for every single GENERAL category student of India who's been made to look nothing but an absolute chump in this whole issue of OBC reservation in higher studies. The name's Singh... Arjun Singh... yeahhh rite, unfortunately we also have in him, our very own Union HRD Minister... all thanks to him for taking away a major part (if not the whole of 50%) of deserving candidates belonging to the general category out of the race... the race which should ideally have taken them to some premier institute offering a post-grad course.
NUMB... is probably the rite word to describe the state of affairs of the minister's mind at this stage, simply 'coz in the desire of swelling up his guv's vote bank, he is, n that too knowingly... putting at high stakes the future of thousands of students. there seems to be no earthly logic to why he isnt willing to talk to students atleast once... he wont come on-air, he wont give a message, he wont do nothing... all this gives a clear idea abt how low on confidence he is abt this reservation. the students are on an indefinite hunger-strike, doesnt tht move the guv at all... dun they feel tht this is something really serious... lathi-charging the students was the worst part of all... i suggest even the students shud keep hockey-sticks n cricket-bats with them... lets see which police-wallah then even thinks of coming close to them.
i mean... c'mon... u're talking abt the most eligible n intelligent minds of the country here (i dun mean only the general category students but the grads n under-grads on the whole)... we arent protesting for nothing. there's something which the minister cant understand. raising the no. of seats in the institutes is no solution, infact, it worsens the situation.
times have come when a group of friends wont question each other abt their merit in boards or grad programs instead they'd say 'hey... u're an OBC rite??? goodness u're so lucky... u'll get into the top 10 easily... i wish even i was OBC n u, wht abt u !!! u're an SC rite ??? shit yaar, this GENERAL thing sucks !!!'
the SINISTER-MINISTERS' sons or daughters or grand-sons or daughters wont suffer coz they'd goto a HARVARD or a STANFORD or a CAMBRIDGE... why here !!! they'd get themselves treated by some top-notch foreign doctors whenever needed... even now they wud've put on a JOCKEY instead of trusting a VIP label... thts not the point though...
after all this, a situation has come where the GEN category students wud require quotas n reservations to survive. democratic state huh... INDIA... by-of-for the people it says... wht a contrast !!! why cant it be just MERIT... pure n simple MERIT... they say they want to give everyone an equal chance, they want to be fair to everyone... wht better way than doing away with the quota-system, n letting the all students compete on a fair ground. whoever then meets the requirement, gets the nod.
look frens, the protests havent had much of an impact as yet... but all this wont go waste, i wont let it go waste n i guess neither wud u... im dead sure abt tht !!! we'll stay firm on our stand n support the protest, if not for anything else then atleast for those students who are on a hunger-strike for so many days now, for those who've been beaten up n water-cannoned... for each one of them... lets come together n show our support for them... lets do our bit...
YOUTH-UNITED... UNITED FOR A CAUSE !!!
kindly undersign the blog n share a message if u'd like to !!!
thanx...
UPDATE
hey ppl... the sudden news flash of the UPA guv deciding to implement the proposed 27% quota for the OBCs came as rude shock.well now the UPA guv will know for sure what we students are capable of n it seems its trying very hard to not come in power again. they feel relaxed coz the major part of our general category never goes to vote, but now rest assured u UPA leaders, the next time we'll make sure that we vote u out of power.
