1) I WANT TO SAY ONE THING, THAT THE AUTHOR OF A BLOG DOESN’T HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT THE CUT-OFF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GENERAL CATEGORY CANDIDATE AND RESERVED CATEGORY CANDIDATE ?

FOR YOUR INFO. IT’S NEVER MORE THAN 5%.

I AM STUDYING FOR UPSC AND I AM GENERAL CATEGORY CANDIDATE BUT I DON’T HOLD ANY SUCH BIAS AGAINST RESERVED CATEGORY CANDIDATES.

2) THE WAY AUTHOR HAS WRITTEN A BLOG IS SO HUMOROUS THAT I CAN’T MAKE MYSELF STOP LAUGHING. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT HE MEAN TO SAY THAT BY JUST HAVING A CERTIFICATE OF BY VIRTUE OF BEING RESERVED CASTE BY BIRTH MAKES YOU AN IAS OFFICER OR A SURE JOB RESERVED FOR YOU.

THIS IS THE MYTH SPREAD BY US BUT IT’S NOT IN THE GREATER INTEREST OF INDIAN UNION. ( IN WHICH REGIONALISM IS GROWING AT A VERY RAPID PACE WITH NO SIGN OF STOPPING, HEAVILY UNDERMINING NATIONALISM )

IN DELHI WHILE STUDYING I SEE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT RESERVED CATEGORY CANDIDATE BECOMING AN OFFICER BY JUST GETTING 0%.

DO YOU THINK THIS CAN BE TRUE ? CAN A PERSON GETTING A DIFFERENCE OF 20-30% BE SELECTED AS AN OFFICER OR CAN HE BE RECOMMENDED FOR JOB ? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

3) IF YOU ARE SO MUCH SURE ABOUT THE INCOMPETENCY OF A RESERVED CATEGORY CANDIDATE, THEN WHY NOT YOU ASK THE RECRUITING AUTHORITIES TO REVEAL THE CUT-OFF MARKS OF ALL THE CANDIDATES ? WHY KEEP MUM ABOUT THIS ?

BECAUSE WHEN CUT-OFF WILL BE RELEASED THEN YOU WILL SEE THERE ISN’T MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF STUDENTS.

ALL THESE MISINFORMATION IS SPREAD TO KEEP THE THOUSANDS YEARS OLD HOSTILITY ALIVE BETWEEN UPPER AND LOWER CASTES OF INDIA BECAUSE RESERVATION HAS DEBARRED GENERAL CATEGORY STUDENTS FROM 49.5% OF SEATS.

4) IF YOU REGULARLY READ THE NEWSPAPERS THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DIRECTOR OF IIM HAS SAID ( DURING THE PERIOD OF OBC RESERVATION ) THAT, ” THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE AMONG GENERAL AND RESERVED CATEGORY STUDENTS AND THEY PERFORM IN IIM IN THE SAME WAY AS GENERAL CATEGORY STUDENTS ”

THEN WHY SUCH DOUBLE STANDARD FOR REVEALING THE MARKS ? IF THERE IS RTI THEN WHY NOT EVERYTHING BE OPEN ? LET THE MARKS BE REVEALED.

5) SACCHAR COMMITTEE REPORT HAS CLEARLY STATED THE STATE OF DIFFERENT GROUPS IN INDIA.

IN THE REPORT YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ” UPPER CASTE ” AND ” MUSLIMS, SC, ETC.”

AND THE PLIGHT OF SC’S ARE EVEN MORE WORST THAN THE MUSLIMS.

6) SO DO YOU THINK THEY DON’T NEED ANY RESERVATION WHATSOEVER.

YOU ARE MADE TO THINK THAT THEY DON’T REQUIRE ANY RESERVATION OR ETHICALITY OF RESERVATION. SINCE THE % OF GRADUATES AMONG UPPER CASTES IS A LOT HIGH COMPARED TO OTHER GROUPS, SO ALSO THE COMPETITION FOR SEATS AMONG THEM, SO ALSO THE DISCONTENT, AND MAKING THEM FEEL THAT THEY ARE LOOSING THE SEATS WHICH THEY WOULD HAVE GOT IF THEY WOULD HAVE BELONGED TO THE RESERVED CATEGORY ? BUT THIS ISN’T TRUE.

7) AND THERE IS ONE MORE THING FUNNY ABOUT AUTHOR HE IS TAKING 5000 YEARS OF HISTORICAL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLES ( ESP. DALITS ) AS A “NO” RELEVANT FACTOR.

HOW CAN THIS BE NOT A FACTOR TO ACCORD PREFERENTIAL FACILITIES TO RESERVED CATEGORIES.
SACCHAR COMMITTEE HAS CLEARLY REVEALED ALL THESE THINGS. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THEN, GRADUATE PEOPLE % AMONG UPPER CASTE ( BASICALLY GENERAL CATEGORY ) IS 15% AND FOR DALITS IT’S 2-2.5%.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE AND STILL YOU SAY THEY DON’T REQUIRE RESERVATION.

9) AND IMAGINE A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION ( YOU MAY FIND IT HUMOROUS ) BECAUSE EVERY RELIGION OF A WORLD HAS DEVELOPED CASTE SYSTEM ( WHICH WESTERN PEOPLE SAY ” RACE ” AND WE CALL IT ” CASTE ” ),

SUPPOSE ALL KINDS OF RESERVATION ARE DISSOLVED THEN CAN YOU GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL MARRY A GIRL IRRESPECTIVE OF HER CASTE/SUB-CASTE/VARNA/GOTRA/PRAVARA STATUS OR RELIGIOUS STATUS, AND MAKING INDIA TRULY A ” MELTING POT ” OF CASTES AND RELIGIONS AND LEADING TO JUST ONLY ONE THING I.E. IDENTITIY THAT ” WE ARE INDIANS ” WITH NO REGARD TO SO-CALLED SURNAMES.

10) ALL THE YOUNG, ENERGETIC, PEOPLE OF INDIA DON’T YOU THINK WE WOULD FEEL MORE PROUD IF WE CAN SHOW TO THE WORLD THAT:

” WE ARE ONE ” ,

” WE HAVE ONLY ONE RELIGION,I.E HUMANISM ” ,

” WE HAVE NO CASTES AND WE HAVE ONLY ONE IDENTITY WHICH WE ARE PROUD OF I.E BEING AN INDIAN ”

” WE SEE THE POSSIBILITY OF WORLD-STATE ” ( WHICH IS INEVITABLE IF PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY FEEL THEY ARE THE ONE WITH NO RACIAL, RELIGIOUS, ETHNIC, CREED DIFFERENCES WHATSOEVER. BY THIS WAY, FIRST THE INTERNAL DIFFERENCES SHOULD BE RESOLVED IN THE COUNTRY THEN EACH COUNTRY WILL JOIN TO MAKE A “WORLD-STATE” AND PEOPLE A ” WORLD-CITIZEN”)

” WILL WORK TOGETHER TOWARDS COMBATING GLOBAL WARMING AND MAKING OUR EARTH ( I.E. EARTH OF ALL HUMAN BEING, PLANTS, ANIMALS, WITH NOT DIFFERENCE CLASSES, CASTES, RELIGIONS OF PEOPLE AND OF NATIONALITIES)

11) AND WITH ALL THIS THINGS RELIGION SHOULD WITHER AWAY, THOUGH IT HAS HELPED TO UNITE AND FORGE SIMILAR THINKING TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE. BUT BECAUSE OF MANY RELIGION AND HIERARCHY WITHIN THE RELIGION, IT HAS DONE CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO HUMANS AND IS STILL DOING, IF NOT STOPPED THEN ON THE NAME OF IT MAY ULTIMATELY BECOME THE BIGGEST ENEMY OF HUMANS.

12) I KNOW YOU MAY LAUGH ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS, BUT THINK SERIOUSLY ARE THEY NOT THE NEED OF TODAY AND FUTURE TO MAKE THIS WORLD SECURE AND FOR EVERYONE’S REALIZATION OF HIS OR HER’S POTENTIAL.

13) BECAUSE OF OUR DIFFERENCES WITH DON’T BELIEVE IN OTHER PERSON BUT BY BEING IN THE SAME RACE, CASTE, RELIGION, WE MAY BELIEVE THE OTHER PERSON OR THE BARRIERS TO BELIEVING OTHER IS CERTAINLY REDUCED.

IS THIS GOOD FOR ALL THE PEOPLES OF OUR BEAUTIFUL EARTH ? NO, FRIEND NO.

14) BUT TO MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN, WE SHOULD CERTAINLY MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY, THEN EVERYBODY WILL NOTICE US SINCE THE DIFFERENCE AMONG THE PEOPLES IS HIGHEST IN INDIA THEN ANY OTHER COUNTRY OF THE WORLD.

15) AND PLEASE DONT’ LISTEN TO YOUR ORTHODOX, CONSERVATIVE PARENTS IF THEY DON’T ALLOW YOU TO MARRY A GIRL/BOY OTHER THAN YOUR CASTE, RELIGION, ETHNICITY ,ETC. THOUGH THEY ARE THINKING GOOD FOR YOU BY KEEPING IN MIND ” SHORT SPAN ” OF 60 YEARS, SO THAT YOU CAN LEAD YOUR LIFE RESPECTABLY BY ENJOYING YOUR SO-CALLED UPPER CASTE STATUS,

BUT DON’T, YES THEY DON’T THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HUMANS AFTER HUNDREDS OF YEARS, THEY CERTAINLY NOT. BUT YOU ARE THE YOUTH, WHO IS ASPIRING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE AND LIFE OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU, BEAUTIFUL WITH NO RELIGIOUS, CASTEIST, RACIST, STRIFE.

SO RISE ABOVE THESE SO-CALLED THINGS BECAUSE WHAT THE MAN BECOMES NOT BY HIS/HER CASTE BUT BECAUSE OF HIS/HER PERSEVERANCE TOWARDS ACHIEVING MORE HIGHER LEVELS OF LIFE.

16) HOW CAN BY BIRTH ONE CAN BECOME BRAHMIN, KSHATRIYA, DALIT ,ETC. ?

SIMPLE ARGUMENT, WHEN ALL THE OCCUPATIONS HAS CHANGED THAT HOW CAN YOU STILL BELONG TO PARTICULAR CASTE WHEN YOU HAVEN’T READ A SINGLE PAGE OF VEDA’S OR NOT FOUGHT LIKE REAL ANCIENT KSHTRIYA ?

17) AND PLEASE STOP REGARDING ANY WORK AS DIRTY,LIKE SCAVENGER’S WORK ? ONLY BECAUSE OF HIM/HER YOUR HOUSE AND ENVIRONMENT IS CLEAN, YOU FAMILY IS IN GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPY.

18) RISE ABOVE ALL THIS, LETS CHANGE THE HISTORY ( IN WHICH THE SAME THING WHICH IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND AGAIN). LET’S MAKE IT REAL WORTHWHILE FOR US, FOR EARTH, AND FOR OUR PROGENY.

CONCLUSION: MY REQUEST IS ONLY THIS, REVEAL THE MARKS, CUT-OFF SCORE, IT WON’T DO ANY DAMAGE BECAUSE MYTH SPREAD AGAINST RESERVED CATEGORY IS SO HIGH THAT EVEN IF REVEALED MARKS DON’T COME IN THEIR FAVOUR THEN IT WON’T DO A DAMAGE AND IF IT COMES IN THEIR FAVOUR THEN IT WOULD CERTAINLY LEAD TO RECONCILIATION OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

Too bad that pyschologically one is forced to put a “disclaimer” that you aren’t a high-class Br. Shouldn’t that be immaterial .. ideally ?! but yeah, it isn’t an ideal world

What I don’t get is why you support Paswan. Or maybe you have just not seen his antics in Bihar…..

in engineering colleges, the have quotas for castes and have no restrictions of any kind. obviously really stupid ppl who have no chance of making it in the industry take up the job of profs. this is not restricted to castes , but generally bcoz the castes wallahs have no restrictions they have it easy. these profs , with their narrow perspective play with the careers of students, fail them in the vivas, ask their kids to check the university papers , take coaching classes when they are the paper setters and cover everything in class , make ppl cry during vivas, then console girls by telling them that its for their own good bcoz thats what expected in the industry . something strange bcoz they NEVER have been in the industry!

with quota in the pvt insitutions , meritocracy will go for a toss. all of a sudden you are reporting to an idiot boss just bcoz he is of a lower caste than you! the reason why ppl dont join govt services , IAS is bcos of this reservation issue! if the same goes for indian companies ppl will work for mncs or go abroad.

everybody knows everything and thats why its called the great indian tamasha!

ps: I am afraid Ram Vilas Paswan sucks for me and I can only blame such politicians for the sorry plight of many communities.

The whole issue depresses me.
