Dare To Belong!!!!
‘A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history’- Mahatma Gandhi
Right now as I see it, the government seems to have a very blurred, if not confounded, vision for higher education in India.
This 49.5% discriminatory caste based reservation is simply going to kill meritocracy, make India a hardline castiest society and will simply destroy india’s growing global image (if it has any)!
The normal people now simply ‘Dare To Belong’ to the society!
By doing such a thing, it is trying to hide 58 years of failure. The reason why students are made to study history is that they do not commit the same mistakes that the men of that era made! But what we have here is the govt dividing India into caste lines which our freedom fighters and social reformers fought so hard to eliminate.
The long hard battle that these medicos are fighting have very well justified reason to do so. What they want is a committee with educationists and industrialists as members to review the benefits of reservation in the past say 50 odd years. They want to know whether the caste system will be the only criteria to identify the needy!!...Very true isn’t it!!
What I think is if we go for any kind of reservations on communal and caste basis, we will swamp the bright and able people and remain second-rate or third-rate. The moment we encourage the second-rate, we are lost. It is a simple way leading to disaster.
As to what little knowledge I have, Dr Ambedkar – the father of the underprivileged also ‘opposed’ reservations and had to reluctantly agree for this but only for a period of 10 years.
The crappy Mandal’s commission , the cause for all these hassels commissioned some 4000 castes as backward without any structured survey thus making the current proposal illogical and unreasonable. And when this was introduced, the agenda was to review the benefits of it periodically and review the list of backward castes. But till now, not even one caste has been excluded from the list and instead there have only inclusions to it.
The government simply needs to shed off its fascist attitude. It needs to explain the need and basis of this bill and should show concern over its social and political ramifications.
To wind up , this is a quote from Rang De Basanti
‘ There are two primary choices in life- to accept the conditions the way they are or to accept the responsibility of changing them.’
