in india there is lot of vote politics which explains that that even after  more than 58 years of independence people have to commit suicides because of poverty and having no access to many facilities.\npoliticians are more concerned with their welfare more than the society's.\nby enumerating false hopes thy gullible public is taken for ride and corrupy so called public servants grind their axe. otherwise how come there is little progress in the same group of neglected people after almost 50 years of indepedence.  they are misusing poor and backward people for petty votes.

this reservation thing is wrong it is ruining our country.\nreseravation if necessary should be allowed at schooling level of education.\n If govt wants to give reservation  then it should give to those who r financially weak.This whole resrvation drama is pure votebank politics and is very dangerous for the future\nof INDIA.\nIn my opinion it is high time to correct our selves and eliminate this reservation system step by step this v can do by applying reservation plans as five year policies and work hard to remove any sort of differences created by politicians or anyone elseby punishing  them in hardest possible ways as per the law.

yes, but it's not really punishment, it's more guilt. why? because they feel guilty about their own wealth and the fact that there are people in this country that don't have it (wealth). and don't have the opportunity to have it. are they willing to make changes in society that will change the dynamic? no. because they need the impoverished vote. what baffles me is that these people, these poor people who have nothing who keep voting in these democrats who do nothing to improve the situation of their voters have not learned yet that they are being tricked.

Their rules may not apply to the conditions in India. Each country must evolve its own policies based on the conditions of the people. \nAbout why people will not stay back in India, it is good question. There are a lot of social status/importance attached to a foreign visit/stay. If that is the state how do you expect it to improve.\nThe government is making things worse. The reservation policy is becoming better by the day! Why will the people belonging to general merit category want their children too to suffer like them?\n(All these are my personal views)

I heard about that - it's pathetic that people in a demotcratic society have to be bribed to vote.\n\nFP

The bigger problem is making people care. There is too much citizen apathy in this country. Until that problem is addressed, nothing else really matters.

Sadly the Governments do not want to spend the money to protect these people. We need more mental health doctors and support workers, so those with a major mental health condition is treated and supported correctly with in the community.\n\nMentally ill people are have the same thoughts and feelings as any one else, except they have periods of extreme depression/mania etc, needling hospital treatment, once deemed to be "normal" or "functional". They are released back into the community, usually some with support, including their doctor. \n\nIf the support system fails, (usually due to lack of funding) or the person is not taking their medication, they fall back into severe depression/mania, requiring hospital treatment again. Which is really sad for the patient and family. \n\nIf some one behaviour is so erratic and are a danger to themselves and the community they will be sanctioned and placed into hospital until they can show they are fully functional again. \n\nCreating a vicious circle for the sufferer, their family, friends and the  community. Even more of a concern is the people who are so unwell and can not afford to seek help, so fall through  the system gaps and ends up in jail or living on the street. \n\nRegardless of the persons race, colour, wealth or lack of we are all human, and should have access to medical care. Its a right not a luxury.

in my country INDIA is anyway corruption rate is increasing.i am very shocked(shame).\n---------------------------------\n\nCorruption is everywhere. It is the greed that draw people to loose their conscience and live without principals.\n\nIn poor countries like India specially where the gap between wealth and poverty is so huge ( where rich get richer and poor get poorer ) corruption is an easy way to get out of poverty.\n\nWe must uncover corruption in all forms financial,or political,.., this is the only way we are back to clean living.

May be they lost the faith in the system,and staying home make the things more complicated.If the politicians Knew that 100% of voters are going to vote they will surely behave in another way and will not take any thing for granted.

undoubtedly...WRONG...\nlet me explain...the reason they mention is.."lack of INFRASTRUCTURE for the backward classes..."\n1. y should the govt. think of doing something other than IMPROVING the INFRASTRUCTURE...???\n2. if it thinks its doing right...y not answer the protesting docters...n convince them...???\n3. an OBC student anywhere in INDIA, n son of anyone...can BENEFIT from reservations...UNFAIR...\n\ni dont find even a single supporter of reservations, GENUINE...but...im afraid nothing more can be done on this...IT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED AT THE INTEREST OF POLITICAL PARTIES...

Yes.  It's a not so subtle way of telling certain people that they are not good enough to make something of themselves.  That they need government handouts.  This secures votes for certain candidates.

Corrupt politicians in India still weld power over everything. every single politician should be heavily whipped on their asses till they bleed. then they'll know how much our forefathers bled to gain independence. and today, our youths are shedding the same to gain another independence from these money minded suckers. its high time, young students join in politics like in Yuva, RDB.. its only a matter of time soon.

No, just look at us here in America.  Though suffering a decode of defeats the Democratic party still have a huge number of followers, all waiting for the chance to vote themselves a welfare check.\n\nLook at the poor souls in New Orleans they sat there waiting for the Government to help them before even considering helping themselves.\n\nIt is a truely pathetic side of the human race, but Socialism in every method it has ever been tried has failed, because it rewards laziness and punishes success.  Relying on the government is a one way ticket to despair.

It's easy to 'assume' that everyone who receives assistance is just lazy and that no one suffers from any circumstances that requires our society to help them. It is the perfect perception and makes it a lot easier on the rest of us to feel good about ourselves.\n\nBut in fact, bad things do happen to good people sometimes and there are those who are neither lazy or trying to steal your pennies who do need some assistance.\n\nBut then again, are you your brother's keeper?\n\nProbably not.

You have made a valid point. But the welfare of old people is never in the mind of govt ever. It should be noted that giving the tax deduction to senior citizen means that govt is thinking about only those senior citizen who are either earning pension or some kind of interest whereas majority of senior citizens are poor people go were previously daily wage earner.\n               If govt really wants to do something about they should at least do medical insurance to all senior citizens for Rs 50000 /per annum so that any body having age , say 65 years , can approach a hospital in case of medical attention need.\n             This will increase the business of insurance companies and govt which every year spend without any benefit on different rojgar yojna will also be spending very less for a good cause.

A French Diplomat said in the late 1700's that the Democracy would last only as long as it took for the masses to realize that they could vote themselves money out of the public trough.\n\nThat's happening now.  Ineligible people are on welfare and unemployment, illegals are clogging our services, and "progressive" politicians are voting more and more benefits.

its simple vote bank politics. and why only the congress. no other party has opposed it. they don't want to loose their share of obc and sc st votes. even the bjp has not spoken on it. clearly shows that the parliament at present is full of rotten demented politicians who care only for their power\n\nnow coming back to the main point ; -\n\nreservation as such should not completely be removed. i agree with you. the basis should be monetary as i have stated in one of my earlier answers on the same topic.\n50% is not required considering the fact that so many seats remain vacant. \nit should be ensured that once a person from the backward class gets reservation his following generations should not be allowed to avail this opportunity because that is gross injustice. and once in office he should not be given the privilege of early promotion which is extremely unfair. and also people from the backward section earning decent money should not be given reservation (unlike one of my friends who is an sc and is in iit.. he didn't deserve reservation beacuse.his parents annual income was 7 lakhs.. imagine!!)\n\nthere are olny two sections rich and poor. extend the reservation to the poor.\n\nand also reservation at each and every step will handicap the person mentally and he will never put the best effort into his work beacuse it will be at the back of his mind that he has an advantage over others..

I found your question interesting.\nWould you be able to provide more information?\nI'm not familiar with this issue so I did a google search to learn more.  \n\nI found a Tribune article titled:\nFarmers driven to suicide\nGovernment policies are to blame\nby Suraj Bhan Dahiya \n\n\nIt that states, "In the past few years over 20,000 farmers have killed themselves" as a result of the policies of the government. \n\n "Nearly half of Indian farmers are crippled by debt." \n\n"Humiliation resulting from harassment by moneylenders is the main reason for farmers’ suicides. They charge interest at exorbitant rates... " \n The link is below.
