No thing is bad or good in its own stead. It is the way it is used, implemented and taken up which 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 original for 15 years or implementation of Mandal commission after years of lying in bag. 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.\n\n\nHowever there is opposition for reservation because the benefit of it are not going to actual people rather they are taken up by some people of these society who are already in up class are taking up these benefits whereas actual needy people are still at the same place. No one will object if a really needy get the benefit, You and all are furious since it is someone who is not needy who is reaping benefit.\n\n\nAs 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 of deciding giving help however there are too many lacuna in this as getting certificate for economic background is very easy to get since no one file income tax return and there 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.\n\n\nSo mantra for anything to be good and successful is honest implementation of the same.

I am against reservation of any type. It should be done away with. The politicians are playing with it just for vote.

India's world image is shaped less by India's political leadership than it is by images of millions of poor people living in shacks, starving, and otherwise meeting the criteria for "third world nation" status.\n\nIt seems to be more related to overpopulation than politics.\n\n(overpopulation = more people than the local economy can support)

India has a population of over 1 billion. Define common? I was there on vacation and the poverty is terrible. If the person is "middle classs" common then they need to use their abilities/brains/abilities to push forward their progress. Now is a time of importance for India. They have to use all their resources cause everyone is looking at them.

the major problem is that india is ruled by some inefficient politicians where much of the money goes to their own pockets. it does not mean that all the indian leaders are corrupted, but majority of them are , whatever b the party they belong to. this makes development of india move at the pace of a snail in terms of capital equipment.

According to me,the quota system should not be implemented since it will lead to aboliton of merit

the protests by medical students is very much right becoz admissions should b given according to merit or ability of a student .if the govt. itself will make such blunder by reserving quota in the pvt. sector our RIGHT TO EQUALITY given by the INDIAN CONSTITUTION will b HINDERED

It's not that large of a number. Most people couldn't care less. It's just that the quiet majority are just that.. quiet.

the fact remains that the Majority hangs on to the word majority which in fact is only a word  which whites make up only 37 % of the nations population the rest are all people of color whether they be chinese,indian , hispanic or what have you. Their is a keeping of the numbers so to speak the last thing is needed is truth

I agree with your view points, to an extent. But then what is democracy. Isn't it people's voice. If those elected do not just bother to hear you after the elections, what would you do. Well, you may say teach them a lesson in the next elections. That happens only if you are allowed to vote. Have you not seen what happened in the Chennai Corporation elections. A majority of the general public were are not allowed to vote. It was all booth capturing by Goondas of the ruling party. \n\nI want to do good things myself to keep my street clean and there are many like me in the whole of India. But, if the politicians threaten me not to do it, do you have the guts to go and given them the same kind of adivce?  They are not bothered about you and me since they have their own vote bank. Even if the general public do not vote in an election, the winner is decided by each party's staunch supporters. In such a scenario, your preachings won't work unless there's a complete overhaul of the whole electoral system.

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.

yes i agree with you...but the thing is ppl esp. politicians for their personal interests (eg.to gain votes)have never taken any action and do not want to in the future..moreover they dont care who is suffering unless they are affected.in the present scenario if you just observe then students are protesting against the quotas.. and the students who are eligible for the quotas they in turn are against these students..i.e because they do not want to work hard and why will they because they are getting so many fecilities even if they are not worth them.. so the students eligible for the quotas must also start protesting against reservations telling tht they can prove themselves and get into instituitions without reservation and on pure merit.. if they do this then surely some change might happen..and in todays world you can also see tht the so called backward class ppl have such a good and sophisticated life style and the so called upper classess barely manage to have a days meal.

Ridiculous!!!!!\nHe n UPA govt, seems to play vote bank politics.\nI tel u no party is gonna oppose this rule as they fear to loose SC/ST votes.\nThey take votes of General Category 4 granted.So,all Open Category people must get united to oppose this act of dividing our society.\nIt threatens country's integrity.\nIITs n IIMs r pride,brands of India, produce best talent n there is no place 4 any criteria other than merit.\nTo enhance the status of backward class people we should spend large money n time at grass root levels like primary schools,secondary schools n make them able 2 compete 4 IITs n IIMs because \nAs Abraham Lincoln said :\n"Democracy ensures equal opportunities not equal enviornments"

Bravo!! You think good.  Actually people are not jealous but are biased towards the backward class. I agree with you to do away with the caste system.

The demand for the inclusion of the "none of the above" option in India is yet to evolve into a voting choice that can have wide-reaching implications on adult suffrage. The demand is premised on the question: Can the right to vote mean the right not to choose any of the candidates and yet be counted?\n\n The Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961, does provide for situations where a person decides not to vote. Rule 49-O states that if a person decides not to record his vote, then the presiding officer shall make a remark to that effect against his name in the register of voters and obtain the latter's signature or thumb impression against such remark. But most presiding officers are unaware of this rule.\n\nMoreover, the rule flagrantly violates the principle of secret ballot, the contravention of which is an offence punishable with three months imprisonment by Section 128 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
