For sumguy - did you know there are more Muslims in India than Pakistan? Infact, I think it is second to Indonesia, in Muslim community.\nBut it's a fact, that India is a Hindu-dominated country and therefore there are such problems.

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.

the protests are completely justified as the politicians have no right to toy around with the future of the country. this has been said time and again- this is a kill of merit. \n\nhowever i would say that reservations should be there but the way it is being implemented currently is wrong. reservations in educational institutions and then in jobs doesn't make sense. also while giving reservation the monetary status of the individual should be kept in mind and it should be insured that only the poor and down trodden take advantage of reservation. \n\nthe current system doesn't pay attention to these things and is indiscriminately giving reservation to all backward classes. (even rich people, a friend of mine who is currently in iit is SC- his parents annual income is 7 lakhs.) \n\ndoctors have full right to protest because in their field the competition is very fierce. their actions are completely justified. more ever sudden increase in reservation will also bring down the quality of the institution.

Yeah, I can understand, I had the same problem. Maybe he could talk to just one person at first, someone he's particularly close to, ask them to keep it to themselves for the time being, and see how they feel about it. Indians can be fiercely protective of their cultural identity, and might oppose cross-cultural marriage for that reason. On the other hand, many Indian families today aren't too conservative, especially ones that have moved abroad, so he might find less resistance than he thinks.

It is not that indians are been killed in Afganistan,it is that foreigners those are been killed in there.so the govt of india should not indulge in the developemnt of any other nation,while you have not been proficient in solving ur own problems of the country.I'm a true liberalists and i know the psychology of the most of islamic states, they do want development they want distruction b'coz their god says to do this.'Allah' is the only god in this world n the followers of Mohommaden only should florish, others whould die,n die strictrly.So they r killing.Don't help them.Help urself.It is easier to wake up the slept man,n equally difficult to wake up those unslept.

Yes, reservations like in jobs and education may also come for legislatures. But the policy makers are unable to clear the women reservations bill since a long time due to lack of consensus between various political parties. If this is the case, there are various castes and religions in India, so we cannot expect reservations for MPs and MLAs in the near future.

Hey! Its not really a question of 'needing' or 'not needing'. \nIndia is a democratic country, so you can form a political party irrespective of your religious affiliations. Nearly every political party has either some religious affiliation, or targets a particular vote- bank (eg- BSP targets the 'so called' lower castes, the Muslim League claims to be the representative of all Indian Muslims)\n\n But I too think its a pity that even today, religion plays a very important role in elections. Our people should look at more relevant issues.\n\nStill, I'd like to add,that according to  the Representation of People's Act 1951 by Parliament, members of the legislative assembly & legislative council can be disqualified if it is found that they have used communal or religious sentiments to win favour with the people.

In its own stead, nothing is bad or good. It is the way it is used, implemented and taken up that makes it bad or good. In India reservation was and is used to please some people and get quick votes, be it SC&ST provisions in constitution which was originally meant for 15 years or implementation of Mandal commission after its lying in cold storage for years. There are many aspects of reservation. It is fact there are some strata of society who need support to rise from their current status of poverty or backwardness. Not all of us who have not seen deprived life know they really know what a backward person faces in her/his life.\nHowever there is opposition for reservation because the benefit of it is are not going to actual people rather they are taken up by some people of these society who are already in upper class whereas actual needy people are still at the same place. No one will object if a really needy get the benefit, Most of people are furious since it is someone who is not needy who is reaping benefit. There are many arguments in this reservation issue:\n1. Instead of caste basis, give it on economic basis: As far as making economic condition as criteria is concerned, there is always good and bad of all thoughts. Good about this will be that this should be the correct way to decide for giving help however there are too many lacunas in this as getting certificate for economic background is very easy to get since no one file income tax return and there is no proof of incomes for people other than salaried people so what will happen ultimately is again people who do not deserve the benefit will get it and needy will remain eluded with this.\n2. Incompetent people in jobs: I agree that when it comes to job then what we need are competent people in jobs to provide proper service and let our country grow. It is wrong to say the people who need help to rise first time are not competent but what is required is that we bring them up and educate and train them so that they are competent enough to take up the challenges. \n3. Would you like a doctor coming through quota to operate on you who does not how to use scalpel: Now if we talk about getting a doctor without enough skills. This is often repeated example but what we fail to understand that a person cannot be a doctor just by getting admission in medical college. S/he became doctor after passing out from the college. If we say that college examination system is such that they will pass person without knowledge then problem does not lie in reservation in admission but in examination system which required to be looked into. Having said that if education system is not good and it will allow person without skill to get the degree then what is guarantee that a person who has come by other route let us by paying higher fees or something and for that matter what is guarantee that a person who have scored 90+ marks is good in medical study. So then we are running risk of many doctors without skills operating on us. So this argument that if the person has come with reservation will be not competent doctor is not correct. If a person has passed MBBS (s/he can be anyone reserve one or other) and do not know how to use scalpel and then we should hung all the teachers who have taught them, people who have set the papers  and all the examiners who has taken their practical exams and checker who checked their examination papers.\n4. What about other type of reservations: why there so much hue and cry about backward class reservations, do everyone really want selection of students on merit basis? if yes, then why there is not no one appear to oppose the other kind of quota called as management quota or nri quota. if all the protest is based on the concept of merit, will the protestant also oppose the private medical and engineering college; giving birth to so called meritorious students by engulfing a big price? \n5. Reservation will take country backward: If that is true then why & how

It is discriminatory.\n\nThe Muslims in India are converts from mostly the lowest stratum of the caste system called 'sudra' who are known as Dalits or Harijan. The Muslims who invaded India were getting the person converted by force. And by marriage/forcible or otherwise, and never brought their women folk with them. Hence, all most all the Muslims remained poor, by and large. And the rulers, whether Muslims or the British never bothered about their educational and social development.\n\n After partition, the Congress party used them as a 'vote bank' and controlled them through Mullahs and the Bukharis. It is the clergies who were kept appeased and the vast majority lot remained neglected. The Muslims in India became pawns and continue to be so, in the hands of the Politicians and the Muslim clergies. Lack of education and education through the Madrsas are the main reaosn for the prevailing poverty and social backwardness among the Indian Muslims.\n\nHence, any reservation policy intended to reverse the social injustice should not exclude the Muslims. But at the time of partition of India, which was done on the basis of religion the Muslims had a choice to go to Pakistan. But only the Nawabs and the rich went to Pakistan who prefered to continue their supremacy under non-democratic social set up and the down trodden among the Muslims continued in India.\n\nHence, the right solution for India is to go for resevation only on economic basis which will also benefit the Hindus and the converted Christians among the poor.

it is because of your culture of religious intolerance and tribal affiliations instead of a national pride...also there is the fact that india might have the bomb but doesnt have the know how to lob it past pakistan...\n\nyour politicians and religious leaders are holding you back\n\nthey want to blame the western world for all your failures and have instilled in your culture a defeatist attitude that you cant win...this keeps them in power\n\n\nthe fact that even tho all the outsourcing we do to india keeps some of you technologically savvy, the rest of your country is so far behind in the managing of information that it might not catch up for 2 or 3 or longer generations\n\nthink about it..where are all your smart people..??? in the united states...thats because we assimilate the best of all cultures and use them to our advantage...there are more opportunities here\n\nwe would love to be trading partners and business partners with all the world..until we can trust your leaders to be in the 21st century, sadly that probably wont happen on a large scale

The British divided this country on basis of religion now our own politicians and countrymen are doing the same on basis of caste.Why is there no reservation on basis of merit and financial position,caus the politicos fear their seats might be taken by educated people .Then there would be no fools to run this country.Brahmins are becoming the real minority and aliens here.For the politicians of this country votes are above the welfare of their countrymen.

Countries like the US send their workers overseas. Indian cannot get jobs that Americans have. There is also the problem of education. Many people have not enough education. There is also the lack of availability of jobs. If there are not enough jobs then not enough people can work they go on to make their livelihood in other less productive areas. Gender is another. Religion. Age.

Single most beneficiary? Well it is the politicians!!!\n\nThe reservations divide the society and the country.\n\nThey effect the merit and the progress of the country and forever make the backward classes backward.\n\nOnly enemies of the country and religion can think of such things.\n\nWhat is needed is more schools and more care for the backward in terms of special institutes, money grants, interest free loans etc.\nOnly such affirmitive action will be a solution for the centuries old insults heaped upon them.\nAlso, from religious angle, many Swamis, acharyas are urging for priests from backward classes and giving them vedic education, this will also go a great way in improving their social status alsong with the above mentioned ways for economic standard.

Here's the true history of Kashmir.\n\nBefore India and Pakistan gained independence all the lands were small states controlled by various kings. Before independence each king had the right to choose one of three options.\n1)Become part of India\n2)Become part of Pakistan\n3)Remain independent\n\nThe decision was typically made based on location of each state and religious majority. So if a state was predominantly Hindu it became part of India and if the majority was Muslim it became a part of Pakistan.\n\nThe problem with Kashmir was that the majority of the people were Muslim but the leaders were Hindu. In addition, Kashmir lays right in the middle of India and Pakistan. Intially they were considering becoming part of Pakistan but while they were still independent and about to make the final decision, small factions of Muslim miltants (aided by Pakistan) attacked the Kashmiri borders. Not wanting to be forcefully taken, Kashmiri leaders asked for aid from India. Yet India couldn't go into Kashmir because they'd be invading neutral territory. So in order to allow India to assist, Kashmir agreed to become part of India. India went into Kashmir and secured most of the major areas in Kashmir.\n\nAfter the small war, India promised to hold elections in the future to let the people of Kashmir decide if they wanted to be part of India or Pakistan... only after all militants had left Kashmir.\n\nSo today, militants continue to spordically attack villages in Kashmir hoping for the predominantly Muslim state to become part of Pakistan. Pakistan and many Muslims in Kashmir want those free elections to be held. India responds by saying that the militants have never left Kashmir and therefore they won't hold any elections until that happens.\n\nSo which side do you think is right? Seems like they both have valid points... and it seems like there's no good solution in sight.

i don't support reservation based on caste. but the ruling parties with an aim to capture power through vote bank politics implementing caste based reservation. even the kith and kin of ministers, judges, parliament members, ias and ips officers , though in any way not back ward either socially or economically occupying seats in colleges and government jobs.even after 60 years of independence the sons of cobbler remained as a cobbler and the sons of scavengers remained as scavengers. what a shame'. creamy layer are to not to enjoy reservation benefits.reservation policy should be extended only to the people in below poverty line irrespective of caste, creed and religion.
