We have had a woman prime minister, woman president, woman cm's and all and now we are talking about reservations. India(and Indians) should stop going for populist measures and do the hard work instead for change.

Convince the intended target that this is for their own good and they should get off their lazy bum's and work like others else just zip up and stop whining, that would be far more productive towards the nation than putting some populist reservations in

If you want reservations, let us be fair to everyone, let us do a proper census calculation divide it across everything religion, gender, caste everything and put quota for each and everything. Nobody crosses over into other's quota. By that Women really should have about 45-48% of quota, not 33.

and for heavens sake drop the pretense of secular democracy tag, if it is democracy then the reservation word should not exist

just a point of view šŸ˜‰

Well said CPM šŸ‘ at bold...

For me it will be more demeening to fall under any category of reservation😊

thanks, but all actions should be judged by cold hard results, not intent otherwise that would mean reservation on using common sensešŸ˜‰

I'm completely against women reservation. I firmly beleive that whoever beg for reservations confess that they are brainless.šŸ˜›. Ok. Lemme copy my views from my blog....I cannot type againšŸ˜†.

Debates on women and men are ever green and never ending. Thanks to the improved education system and improved economy. I donot like to quote statistics ,however, it is evident that the "issue of basic education" is a priority to most of the people in India. Immaterial of the economic class of a person, he/she is striving hard to educate his/her children. Every one knows that this life is a journey and only fittest survive here in a better manner. Educating their children in a better manner is the basic priority in most of the Indians. For example,this struggle is evident in a daily labourer in some slum of Hyderabad :)or a Project Lead in some Energy company in Hitec City of Hyderabad :)
Everyone needs to perform to better himself and his family. This struggle is not restricted to some gender, some tribe or some geographical area. Intelligence in humans is not arranged on the basis of gender, geographical area or some religion. Then why do people reservation? Why do some people demand reservations? Why do they confess that they are brainless? If intelligence is based on some gender or religion or caste..then earlier people from those "needy" sector might not have performed in an exceptional manner….
Yes…encouragement is definelty necessary for any person who is trying to improve himself by educating and who does not even have daily dose of roti or chawal :) . This encouragement should be in terms of scholar ships but not anything else.
Coming to the issue of women reservation. Why does any woman/girl in India reservation?. Why do girls require reservation in universities and colleges? What suffering are they undergoing in educating themselves? Boys are also struggling a lot to get better ranks and better percentiles…By seeking reservations does she give confirmation to the world that she is brainless and dumb moron. If she is really intellignet let her get the seat in required course through proper ranks. In some of Indian state road transportions we have reservation of seats for women. It is not necessary. Some girls are so stupid enough that they donot give their seat to an elder man, only for the reason "its her right to sit there and that seat is reserved for her".
When women happily enjoy these reservations why should they fight for equality? If they are happily enjoying these reservations they should not make any nuisance for the equality.
Consider a girl from a famous college in a metropolitan city and a boy from a not so big college in a town. If these both people are competing for a seat in Medical College and let the ranks of that girl and boy in the entrance test be 900 and 250 respectively. According to the present reservation system, that girl gets the seat in Medicine and that boy is denied admission . Imagine the pathetic state of that boy. Why is that girl reservation? Is she given reservation for going to the college happily in a college bus and studying a well facilitated classrooms. Who is bothered about the hardships faced by this boy ? Why is he denied admission inspite of having merit? Girls! If we think that girls and boys are equal we should not take reservations :)

Cheers,

Myth

Thought provoking story šŸ˜›

The Story of Ant & Grasshopper


The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant
is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter,
the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter
so he dies out in the cold.

Modern Version of the Story....

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the
Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering
Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a
table filled with food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this
poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding
that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Indian Government
for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt
support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).

Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bharat Bandh'
in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working
hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants
and Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian
Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of
the winter.

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in
Educational Institutions & in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing
left to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by the
Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by
NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice '.

CPM calls it the ' Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'

Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General
Assembly....

Many years later...

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar
company in Silicon Valley ..

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation
somewhere in India ..

As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the
Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country !!!
