We must oppose the injustice done to us, afterall, its each one for themselves.
And don't forget to read the rest of the post...

The pyres of Mandal commission sufferers are yet to cool down and you fasten you belts to witness another such commission popping up this summer! Then the culprit was our beloved (then PM) Mr. V.P. Singh and now it will be our dear Human Resource Development Mr. Arjun Singh. The reservation in the prestigious institutes like IITs and IIMs is likely to increase from the present 22.5 % to a maximum of 49.5 %.Arjun Singh has already written to the state governments to frame laws in the light of the 104th Constitution Amendment which allows the state to enact laws to ensure the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes by making special provisions for their admission to educational institutions including private – aided and unaided – education institutes. States have been asked to pass these laws at the earliest, presumably ahead of the admission season for the 2006 academic year.
A quota of 22.5% does not seem to be enough that the government of planning to add more to it. Let us assume that the total population of India is 110 crore and the percentage of backward class must not be more than 10-15 %, so let us take 20 crore backward class citizens of India. Now we now that the seats in esteemed IITs is around 12000 and that of IIMs is around 1500. So by that we can conclude that out of 12000 seats 6000 shall be reserved for 20 crore and 6000 for the ‘remaining’ 90 crores. Is that justifiable?
And by looking at the present trend of the ministers to secure their ‘vote banks’ the days are not far when we shall be in need of reservation of ‘General’ category people. Also now there will be a student with 95% marks and another student with 65% marks sitting together on the same desk and studying in the same discipline!
Have we all elected these ‘worthy’ ministers to see these kinds of stupid acts to improve the society?
I am not against any of the quotas but do we really need them in the professional courses? I guess ‘NO’. If government really want to do something to uplift the backward class, it should provide free standardized education to these students upto Senior Secondary level and after that let them decide their own fortune. If that is not enough government can provide them fee subsidy, but that too shall be given when the candidate qualifies for the professional course not because of the QUOTA but because of his/ her caliber to do so!
So Mr. Arjun Singh, stop playing pranks with the sentiments of Indians and better concentrate how to improve the whole system and not some mere majority class. If you and your government can’t do that, you better leave the respectable position of HRD minister and let Indians decide the things in their own way. Or better be ready for another Mandal commission!
Do you really want that in IITs or IIMs a general category student scoring 90% can’t get admission because a student from reserved quota, who has scored 65%, by mere being a part of minority, ate his part of cake? Just think about it and re-look into your decisions

Totally agree with you on this. And worst part is, many a times even the 22.5% does not get filled up completely. What are they trying to achieve?
the fact is that the percentage of sc's st's and obc's in india is indeed 50% if not more..but that still doesn't justify 50% reservation..or for that matter any reservation
1) reservation if any should be made in prmary and secondary school..not in higher education
2) It should be given to only to the one generation only
3) the percentage of reservation if any should be decided on the %of applying candidates belonging to backward classes and not the % of backward classes in the population of the country..
I am totally against reservation because instead of ending cast discrimination it will infact promote casteism
You have your figures wrong:
a) SC+ST+OBC (including OBC from other religions) constitute 75% of the population.
b) Even though seats are being inclreased they will not touch 12,000 mark by 2007.
I am not against reservation. However, reservation is a temporary solution, and efforts to abolish it will be the same as ones which would improve the conditions of backward classes. If I, for example, were the Prime Minister of India, rather than trying to do away with reservation, I'd create an state of affairs in our country where equality would be present without reservations. I already have a vision for that, you know. For the backward classes, this would bring social equality as well, besides the economic equality which reservation brings, and for general classes, this would end the discontent. So, whether you are my general category brothers and sisters, or my SC/ST/OBC brothers and sisters, please vote for me and my party in the elections. Let us together make our country better.
Aapka Sevak, The Anonymous.
Do you know that for Symbiosis Management, general category students needed a score of 97 to qualify and SC/ST category students needed a score of 24 to qualify. Think of the inequality of the levels in the students... and what a problem it is going to do for the professors. Its also going to result in students looking down upon others.This sucks..I think it should be more on the basis of economic status than what caste you were born into.
Wonderful and informative web site.I used information from that site its great.
