Reservation Politics

Reservation, Politics and Arjun.
Reservation and politics go hand in hand both are dependent on each other and provide nourishment to other, and an ARJUN reaps the benefit in term of electoral gains. Why blame arjun alone all others are equally to be blamed for the sorry mess we Indians find ourselves in. How are other different and in any case what difference it makes who the person is? Arjun now or V.P. then? How different 2006 is from 1990? Answers to all these questions are, nothing really.V.P then had unleashed mandal1 in order to outwit Devi Lal and Arjun has done it to show ManMohan his place.It is a known fact that arjun never accepted him as his leader.He had not forgivien PV Narsimharao too (remember congress Tiwari).
Arjun as it stands for
A: ARROGANT
R: RECKLESS

In both the cases it was the merit and reason, which were sacrificed at the altar of politics. Politics in it self is neither a bad thing nor harmful for any one or for any country but how we practice politics is the main issue.

As earlier this all posturing is all and only about votes. As if this arjun’s plan were not devastating enough Meera Kumar too has thrown her hat in ring lest Arjun steel her slogan and right to be called OBC’s mentor. A new game of competitive pro reservation has started in congress. It is really amazing that all this is being done under the guise of constitution amendment. As pointed out by the two distinguished gentlemen who resigned from the Knowledge commission, this amendment is only an enabling provision and it was not at all necessary to implement, especially when there was no demand for it from anybody. Thus it amplifies the argument that it is 100% politics and 0%genuine concern for OBCs.

Since this genie is out of bottle now it is very difficult for any political party to denounce it publically, howsoever strong their views are against the reservations in private. This makes students and all right minded citizens agitation all the more relevant for the simple reason that this govt. in particular and all politicians in general are hell bent to stifle the merit, at the cost of nation, for their short time and immediate gains. As is evident from yet another example, the resignation of the two most respected, intelligent and worthy members of Knowledge Commission. As they were humiliated and our WORTHY PM kept his opinion under wraps as he always does on all the matter of serious concern to the nation.
To sum up…
“EK HI OULU KAFI THA;
BARBAD-E-GULISTAN KARNEY KO,
HAR SHAKH PE OULU BAITHA HAI;
ANZAM-E-GULISTAN KYA HOGA.”
