Reservation issue - Why its wrong ?

I remember the frog (or was it the earthworm) story that I read a long time ago. For every two steps that it climbs in the well , it descends by another step making the ascent a long process. The story often reminds me of India. Amidst the social and economic progress that we make a Godhra or a Mandal takes us backward to the doom again.

The inanity of caste reservation has been argued for decades by economists and it is this same ember that Mr.Arjun Singh ( the HRD minister) strives to stoke. The issue has left the entire nation divided. Belonging to a forward caste ( I care a damn about casteism anyway) , I have morbid hatred for reservations. Irrespective of whether what is wrong and right , what is definitely wrong is the reasons for which Mr.Singh is doing it. It reeks of selfishness and personal gratification.

In a hard hitting article , Rediff questions the motive for raising this issue suddenly. Mr. Singh, please don't divide a nation and make people suffer for your personal whims , fancies and selfishness and am ashamed that your name is even being broached for the future Presidentship of the country . Please step aside , retire ............
