Yes Rindam, I am feeling that my attempt to get into IIT to do masters will not yield any fruits. Even I am thinking of leaving this country on basis of merit. It is useless to stay here unless a revolution is called for and the social system is changed.

But at the same time, my heart tells that I should not do this and stay here as I had planned earlier. I am really pissed of at the Govt.

The Congress Govt Sucks.

I didnt mean to dissapoint you. Keep up your morale, you can still get in. GATE is not easy either :-).

Eventually the brand name IIT is mainly because of the minds that study there not because the Institutes wave a magic wand.

So if you think you are deserving and still didnt get in, the college has lost out, not you-

and if you get in, 👏 Think hard, keep your wits about you and kick ass.👏 Good luck xrebel.

Amogh apni sochna band karde..... think of the next generation.... abhi kuch nahi kiya to ya to tum indian nahi rahoge ya fir tum aur tumhare bacche bekar rahenge kyon ki next step is reservation in private sector....
Isliye even though seats are increasing this protests should not end as it will give way to govt to bring in quota in private sector

Abhi i never said that i m going to stop protesting. i will do it till the last of my energy is left.

Even i am going to be affected if there are reservations in private secor as i need a job in the same after i finish my studies. i fear that the GOVT. may keep reservations there, the companies may move out of INDIA and therefore i considered leaving India , but not without protesting.

Medicos launch 'civil disobedience' campaign against quotas

May 25, 2006 11:59 IST


Striking medicos remained defiant on Thursday despite President A P J Abdul Kalam's appeal to call off their anti-quota agitation and intensified their two-week-long stir by launching a 'civil disobedience' campaign.

The medicos, under the banner of 'Youth for Equality', will also call on the President later in the day to convey their position on the emotive issue and their decision to continue with the strike.

The Reservation Issue
"We really thank the President for his concern, but it has come a bit too late as the government has already announced its decision to go ahead with the proposal," said Amithasha Sinha, a representative of Youth for Equality.

The agitation by resident doctors and medical students also got a boost as traders in the capital decided to join their movement and threatened to shut shops if the government failed to rollback its quota proposals within 100 hours.

The medicos launched a 'civil disobedience' campaign to enlist the support of RWAs, traders and other sections of society in their movement against introduction of 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in elite educational institutions.

"This is an attempt to widen our agitation. We are seeking the support of the all sections of the society," Safal, a student from MAMC and a representative of Youth for Equality, said in Delhi.

Meanwhile, junior doctors of five premier medical colleges, MCD hospitals and other health centres continued their strike for the 14th day and decided to discontinue operating parellel OPDs to give more sting to their agitation.

Medical students of five medical colleges in Delhi, who kickstarted the anti-quota protests, also continued their hunger strike for the 12th day at the AIIMS, the nerve-centre of the agitation.

The Indian Medical Association's Delhi unit will hold a sit-in at AIIMS in support of the stir, while its chapters in other states have called for a medical bandh, the second such shutdown by the apex medical body since the stir began.

The AIIMS Faculty Association has also decided to go on mass casual leave from Thursday to support the anti-quota stir, but made it clear they will ensure that basic health-care services are not disrupted.

A group of students, preparing for various entrance examinations of elite educational institutions like IITs and IIMs, will hold a fire walk in Delhi to register their protest against the reservation hike.

Kalam's appeal on Wednesday night to call off the agitation had no effect as the medicos remained firm on their demand for setting up a separate Empowered Commission to examine the entire reservation policy.

The President asked the medicos to end their hunger strike and resume normal student life assuring them that the number of seats in central educational institutions will be increased.

His appeal came after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's two appeals to the medicos to call off their agiation, which they have turned down.

The doctors shud not discontinue parallel OPDs as they may lose sympathy of the society and some may even turn against them.

NEW DELHI: The AIIMS Faculty Association has decided to go on mass casual leave on Thursday to support the anti-quota agitation by medicos, but without disrupting the health-care services.

"We will go on mass casual leave on Thursday. But, we will be working for the benefit of patients," spokesperson of the AIIMS Faculty Association said.

A silent march was organised in the AIIMS campus this evening in which AIIMS faculty and their families, and faculties from Maulana Azad and Lady Harding medical colleges participated.

Vinod Patro, president of the AIIMS Resident Doctors Association, said the traders of the capital had extended their support to the cause.

They would organise a rally in Connaught Place in New Delhi, he said.
