Reservation Row!
I have been following the reservation row for sometime now and couldn't help post this! Congress wants to play caste politics for the umpteenth time and here goes yet another protest!
Firstly, there is always a lot of resistance to change. Hence, the current protests are a testimony to that hard proven fact. Secondly, its never a win-win situation in politics. Thirdly, there is already a scape goat in Arjun Singh who would be even burned alive for saving the Congress image. And lastly, its time leading institutions have a wide variety of stakeholders apart from the Governement.
If the UPA was to give that 8000 crore to FICCI and ask them to gear up the state primary educational institutions, you would see the difference right away (in one year)! I am not against, Politicians eating up people's money. They can't help it and we have to live with it. But, I am against direct corruption, which is what happens every time Congress is in power.
Coming back to the topic on hand. Despite all odds, the UPA would go ahead with their reservation policy as they can't let go of the 50% vote bank for a bunch of students! So, here is my bet on the future proceedings:

- Student protests go above the bar and there would be bigger clashes thanks to the communists and the Govt sits tight lipped for some miracle.
- Another scam hits the news office and off goes the reservation topic to the back door.
- When it becomes a low key event, the Govt safely passes the law and thats the end of it
What could be done (as I think fit!!!):
- Get an ammendment to the policy as to continuous reduction in the reservations during the course of 5 - 10 years from the start.
- Give out 40% of the seats as reserved!
- Start enacting the law 2 years from now, so that people have enough time and space to digest it.
- Get the constitution to original state before the Emergency to stop these kind of things from happening in the future (MI - 4)
- An RDB could be the End of the Beginning and a bigger war and hence divide.
I totally sympathize with those who suffer from the reservations, but hope this doesn't creep into the private sector jobs.
