To B or not to be an OBC!!!!

This is a premonition concept that Government is for the people, of the people and by the people. Atleast, Mr. Abraham Lincoln would be visualized crying in the grave at the pangs of human morality and lo at the sign of India..I am not going to delve much into the OBCs funda, I'll just narrate certain experiences why I feel it's inadequate to point out certain instances here. Let me see if I can analyze it in a better tone.

It has been 50 years and more now, since Jawahar Lal Nehru gave that famous speech in Parliament, "At the stroke of midnight, when the whole world sleeps, India will rise to freedom." I am not sure, the freedom that Mr. Nehru than spoke off smelt of agony and disdain of lower castes the so called SC/sets. I am not against an OBC fight here, but I guess a lot of work has had done off-late for the OBCs. And there have been less dividends out of it. The OBCs or other backward classes have not been come upto the standard, and I don't find the reason to be a social stigma rather than consequences.

My question is though why does the Government' have the impulsive nature of correcting it by forcing reservation? In this case, can the government not look into the reasons as to what are the OBCs drawback? I'm sure,there have been multiple committees formed to justify and come out the cases-but you and I know the best--the diary is full and all the reports are dumped into the garbage can. So, now the government has decided to come up with another solution--that is enforcing OBC reservation as if it's giant to deliver this time?

Politics plays a whole set of cards in India. Knowingly or unknowingly, you'll be engulfed in a storm of politicians who are braving their wits for a game of votes. The much respected and beloved minister for human resource and development, who at an age of 82 has decided to call an act has brought nothing but inhumane reaction from the different sections of society. Why did ARJUN play this gamble? Well, 1) he was upset that the veto power was vested in Manmohan Singh's cabinet for sometimes now, thought for a change 2) getting popular 3) Vote banks of Congress and 4) what else he could do?

The OBCs reservation policy has perhaps made the country witness the most volatile and inspired upheaval (if I may call it). I do see Rakesh Mehra's Rang De Basanthi doing some tricks out there, but it was a phenomenon nonetheless to see people scathing high and beat to stop this agitation. I was wondering how beautiful and strong are we when we get united. Doctors from all lore beated their hearts to join the agitated. IITs and IIMs took their prestigious lore into action as they activitely raised their voices, ongoing hunger strikes and lots more going on as I write this piece on May 23rd 2006 at Bangalore.

Questions were poured on Arjun Singh by the extreme Karan Thapar and mind you! Karan is not an easy joke. It was his interview that her Excellency Aama Jayalalithaa walked off as she felt that she was dragged off into an unnecessary controversy. Arjun Singh however, chose to remain tight-lipped during the interview and one point of time admitted the fact that the ordinance will be passed in the parliament irrespective of the fact that people like it or not. I don't see any reasons to talk to him on any matter!

The inhuman nature of the government could be understood more vividly as the government was busy in celebrating its 2nd anniversary, while atrocities were carried on large section of students point here is that not many people are affected by this. Would it culminate into an action, that
