Why not a Reservation in the Parliament..?




Reservation. The dirty Indian politics has made the mock of the issue once again. Its the turn of the so-called non-dicriminatory Congress to play vote-bank politics. It seems so obvious that this just to please the OBC voters. When the country voted for people like Sonia Gandhi, they had in mind that this lady has a cool head with her. You can expect these local bully-turned-MPs to do this stuff but people like Manmohan Singh not only trying to destroy these world class institutions for their petty interests. They are not satisfied even now. He is shamelessly asking for reservation in PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS!

But this not their fault totally. People like Mayawati, Mulayam Singh etcetra have hardly studied beyond the middle school, so they have initiated about 50% reservation(the max. it can get) in the UP State level institutes for they want to garner those extra OBC votes. So it is quite natural that any cheaply influenced party would follow. Now that Congress is following them, I'll have to set my grading in the following order : cheap, cheaper, cheapest, worst.

Agreed that they want to save their seats from the other parties who are doing their Reservation bit in their respective states.. but they must realize that this is an irreversible process. Because once started, the party which genuinely is concerned about the true interests of the country will have to face the brunt of being labelled as an anti-social, foreign power influenced party and is most likely to be swept off.


What is really flabbergasting is the fact that the taxpayer pays for educating some of the unworthy students in IITs and IIMs. The cost for educating an IITian is around 1.5 lakh rupees and for an IIM guy is around 4.5 lakh Rupees. Assume even if 5% students out of those 50% seats reserved in IIT (around 2000 seats) and IIM (around 500 seats) (125 in all) are not worthy enough, the government loses 3 crore rupees every year, forget about the possible rise in standards if the reservation is removed completely. The same money is sufficient to fund the complete schooling of about 1100 students!

Some more facts. CS at NIT Trichy closed at an amazing AIR 663 for a UP General candidate. The same seat went to a SC from UP with an AIR of 93000! Such situations are very common at AIEEE, its just that until its not IIT or IIM who the hell cares..

Okay, Sardarji.. what about Reservation of weaker sections in your arena? Petrified...?

What about reservation in the jobs for Pilots.. let them crash your plane..

What about reservation in the jobs for the PM's private physician.. let them experiment on your body when you have a cardiac arrest..

What about reservation in the jobs for the PM's security.. let them hapilly surrender you to the LeT commander in return of their lives..
