Where is the bloody equality?

India appears to be a secular country to the eyes of world nations. It might be considered as the largest Democracy in the world. It may seem to be right on the road to development in various fields. Other nations may feel Indians in India are lucky to have born in such a wonderful nation. If you are one of those who think this way of India, I wish to slap you right on your face and ask you "Is this really a secular Democratic country?". If you need an answer to that question, let me explain few things to you about the real India. You might also be aware of the fact that India occupies 14th place in the list of Nations suffering from poverty. Do you know what is the reason? It's a simple one word answer. Politicians. Just for the sake of petty votes from the minority community, which is found in majority in the country, these politicians introduced what is known as reservation for minorities. As a result, most of those highly qualified and talented students belonging to forward class are suppressed to stay low in numbers when it comes to admission in Government institutions. This has led to the educational institutions being filled up by people most of who don't even deserve an entrance to such institutions. A student belonging to scheduled caste/tribe or Backward class, who scored 50% in the 12th grade examinations can easily get an admit in the professional bodies and educational institutions because the boundary mark for these people are less than what they manage to score most of the times. On the other hand, those highly efficient and capable students belonging to forward class are denied admissions even if they have secured more than 80%. Here, the politicians have dug a grave for the nation and they go around calling themselves the saviors of the country's face. In a country where talent is put behind votes, the scope for development is not at the ground level. It is somewhere in the negatives. If you call India a Democratic nation and if you say everyone is equal in front of law, then where is the equality in the nation where reservation has been spoiling the lives of millions of able people belonging to forward class from day one of Independence? If equality is what India is known for, then why a student belonging to the forward caste has not been given reservation while those belonging to the so called suppressed classes of the society enjoy reservations at the cost of lives of the really good ones? Reservation is just a piece of bone politicians are using to make the people belonging to what are called oppressed classes to earn their votes. India is nothing more than this. Now answer my question. Where is the bloody equality in the Nation?

Ridiculous reservation..

If India is called a secular nation and if the law says everyone is equal irrespective of caste or creed, then why do we have reservations in India? Why do a section of people need reservations and why is that people are divided on the bases of their castes? Where is the sign of equality in this nation? Recently, I was requested by one of my friends to check the date for her M.B.A counseling. I visited the Madras University website and managed to get the schedule that showed a list of eligibility criteria for candidates to appear for the counseling session. I was flabbergasted to find that the difference in mark required to attend the counseling sessions for people belonging to Scheduled caste and Scheduled tribe was extremely low, and insignificant, compared to the minimum mark, which was to be scored by people belonging to Forward caste to even think of a counseling session. The most disheartening fact was that the number of RESERVED admissions available for SC and ST people is extremely high and outnumbered the admissions available for FC people. As a result, most of the RESERVED admissions remain unfilled. But, almost all the admissions available for FC people will be taken up. What is the idea behind such an act of foolishness? What is the objective of reservations in India? I accept that SC and ST people need reservations as it is instrumental in building up their morale. But, why is that the number of reserved admissions is too high? Now, it looks like the FC people, who have the least number of admissions, are the ones who are being suppressed. The objective of reservations is to promote SC and ST people and not to suppress FC people. The guy in the hell, who came up with the term 'RESERVATION' in India, would have understood by now that he has got no way out of the place for committing such a blunder and spoiling the lives of millions of FC people. Ultimately, FC people are deprived of opportunities, which is a very bad sign for the nation's future. I don't think reservation is a good idea to encourage the weaker sections of the society. Instead, the Government could have drafted so many other plans to push those people who they think belong to weaker part of the society, which is actually not an appropriate term to make use of in a secular nation. Reservation is now being handled as a tool by the politicians in India to appease the common people, most of who don't belong to FC. With the number of FC being less compared to ST and SC in the country, Politicians are eying on the votes of billions of Non-FCs in the country to win a place in the Government. Demanding reservation is like begging for money. Calling reservation one of the rights of the suppressed class, which is once again an inappropriate term to use, is an act that makes screwing up the lives of FC people a law. Though the situations are getting harder everyday for FC people, they are actually the ones who fair better than their rivals to secure the top positions. This is the ability of FC people. As long as FC people live, even 90% reservation can't put any person from any other caste at the top. That is called efficiency, sincerity and hard work, lacking which makes one place his/her caste before the marksheets.

Questions that return no answer..

I've been busy applying mind on what is happening in the Indian political arena. Since the stage was too big and mind boggling, I jumped out of it and started thinking about the funny political ideologies that are followed in Tamil Nadu not only by the politicians, but also by those related to Film industry. Today, I was watching this news cut on reservation in India for people belonging to minority groups. As usual, I yawned more than twice watching the politicians play the trick on these minority people, who think the Government is really trying hard to restore equality in the society. Tamil Nadu's Chief minister has stated that :

"Tamil people can't be separated by religions and they will never brook anything to come as a threat to the harmonious environment in Tamil Nadu"

I don't why politicians release such futile statements which contradict all their actions in the past and the present. My question is, if Tamil Nadu Chief Minister feels religion should not become a factor to divide people, then what is the need for reservation? Even reservation acts as a tool that divides people into several castes, which once again points towards division among the people. If he feels equality is the need of the hour, then why is he so stubborn in his stand to make Tamil Nadu the only state where reservation percentage is as high as 65? Why is he trying to divide the people on the basis of reservation using their castes? Isn't abolition of reservation necessary in order to eradicate partition based on caste? By voicing up for reservation, the Chief Minister is actually confusing the people by not letting them know what he is really trying to do.

During one of his speeches, he mentioned that Brahmins are traitors who have let down Tamil and are more inclined to Sanskrit. I can understand there is no chance of a man, who was once a barber, knowing more about the ancient literatures scripted in Tamil which sing the praises of Vishnu. I guess this man has no knowledge of Alwars and Nayanmars. The works of twelve Alwars are immense in number and all their works are in Tamil, which can't be completely translated by anyone who has great expertise in Tamil because, the words which are used by these devotees of God are extremely old and most have them have already vanished from usage. Thus, I can come up with strong and undeniable proofs to show the world that Brahmins are actually the only ones who toiled to keep the heartbeat of Tamil flicking and not this guy who Governs Tamil Nadu, though he calls himself 'Kalaignar'. I wonder why he should even be called one. If haircut is an art, I can spend time to think whether he should really be called a 'Kalaignar' for he might be as bad at haircut as he is at politics.

Olympics in India-An overview.

Note : This post is not meant to pinpoint the defects in India and Indian society but it's effort is to make one realize where we really are with respect to the world. Now, make an effort to understand the reality.

It was 8.08.P.M in China. Its 08/08/08. The day will definitely secure a highly significant place in the history books of future China. This is the day when China gave the world it's awesome treat in the form of Olympics in a way the world has never seen it before. When I heard the name Bird's nest, I thought it won't be of sufficient size to house all the events. But now, after watching all those celebrations during the inauguration ceremony which was almost beyond human imagination, my idea of Bird's nest has been crushed to pieces. Now, I can't imagine a small sized bird's nest at all. When I was wondering whether human beings can really make such arrangements that appeared impossible, I also spared few moments to wonder whether our India could have conducted the show as good as China did which is emerging as one of our potential enemies, considering the cold statements exchanged between the two nations on the Arunachal Pradesh issue. This is where I felt really bad for India. I couldn't accept the fact and everyone knows the answer. All that we know about India is that it's a strong developing nation that is populous. But, we find it hard to accept the truth that it's struggling badly to save its face in front of other world nations. You might feel that the statement is highly discouraging and anti-Indian. But, accepting the truth is one of the arts you need to learn to really make this country go up the ladder. I shouldn't be mistaken here. I am a true Indian with a wish to see India as a superpower sooner. Whatever happens to this country, I would stay with it. Now, let us come back to Olympics in India which is one of all our dreams. Be fair in your justification. Do you really think Olympics in India would be as grand and satisfactory for most of the people in the country as it is carried out by China? The answer that scrawls through your head is unfortunately a big NO! This is because of all the petty issues we have here starting from castes to Politicians. If you still can't get a clear view of the picture, let me elaborate on it.

Q. Which place will be chosen for the construction of the main Olympic stadium like The Bird's nest?

A. Media immediately turns its attention towards the so called only Modern city of India, Mumbai. I wonder whether that's the only city available in India. As a result, to satisfy the expectations of media that has lost it's credibility in this country by mudslinging at some innocent people like Dr.Talwar, IOC might go to the extent of making Mumbai the only place for Olympic Games in India. Even with 37 stadiums, China has made a very tight schedule. Imagine what would happen if Mumbai is chosen for the purpose neglecting the Capital, which has a high possibility. This means, if Olympics reaches India, it would be held here for the next 5 years until the day the next Olympic Games begin because how many stadiums can a city smaller than Beijing house even if one considers it as the best in India?

Q. What will be the Political happenings in India if Olympic Games come here?

A. As we all know, US is all about privatization and Americans never give room for Communalism. That gives the Communists in India a big reason to oppose the participation or even the entry of Americans in Olympics. Hence, their protests will partly overshadow the celebrations. To add to the grand mess up, Miss.Mayawati will start demanding reservation for people belonging to the backward classes who are pushed to the back seat just for the sake of reservation. Now the event is in our country and nobody can question our politicians for their demands. Some politicians might even pull up the Arunachal Pradesh issue where China argued that a part of the land in the state belongs to them. This might give rise to a resistance against the participation of China in the Olympics. In the medals' table, one would always find US in the 1st place followed by China. Now, the final picture consists of some politicians protesting against these two capable nations.

Q. Who will be occupying the V.I.P seats?

A. This is an easy question to answer. It's quite obvious that Bollywood stars would decorate the VIP part of the stadium. If you get a chance to enter the stadium, you might find people like P.T.Usha and Karnam Malleshwari sitting next to you. The audience would find SRK dancing for the songs that featured him which have no relevance to what is actually happening in the stadium but are considered important. Our Motto is 'No matter what the show is, it must go on with Bollywood stars and movies'. But, I wonder what movie stars have got to do with sports even when sports person involved in non-Olympic games stay away from the esteemed VIP area. Tell me what VIP means in India. Movie stars and people who are totally ignorant of and diametrically opposite to the show that goes on?

Q. What will be happening to the sports persons who are involved in the celebrations?

A. Well, the answer is easily predictable. Flag bearers should be from Scheduled Caste. The fellow behind the flag bearer should belong to Scheduled Tribe. The first row should contain 2 from Most Backward Class and 1 from Backward class. This order should be maintained for the next 10 rows. Sports person belonging to Forward class should come running whenever someone needs to pass a message or drops something by mistake. If that forward class person is really talented, he can come walking but restricted from participating in the games unless he/she becomes the last available person after everyone gets injured.


Q. What will the followers of atheistic political parties be doing?

A. Greeks believed in Zeus, Aphrodite, Poseidon and other such Olympic Gods who formed the platform for the birth of Olympics. Since Olympic Games are attached to the ideology circling
around Gods, atheists in India might raise their voice against the occasion wearing a dull black dress, the meaning of which even some atheists don't know. As a mark of protest, the atheists might go on a hunger strike outside the Olympic stadium, demanding the Olympic council to announce that Olympic Gods never existed.

Q. What will the man who takes care of the country's financial stats be doing?

A. Our politicians thrive by appeasing those who can easily be deceived. Instead of using a huge Television like thing which China used today to cover a huge area on the ground that appeared like a massive television while airborne for making it the grandest ceremony ever held, which benefits the private company which designed the huge mat like thing, our minister would express his sympathy for the farmers and in an attempt to get them their lives back, he would make them plow the entire ground within the Olympic stadium for which they will be paid more than what they deserve.

These may sound funny now. But, what else do you think could happen if we bring Olympics to India? China follows communalism but appears more like a secular nation. We call India secular. But, what we are really is a blatant truth that everyone knows. If you don't believe me, just try 'Reservation in China' on Google. Try 'Reservation in America'. The results of these two searches will almost be the same and you will get some sites that give you information on hotel reservations and travel reservations. But, try searching for 'Reservation in India'. The very first site talks about reservation in various fields in the country based on castes and about the Constitutional provisions for reservations based on these cursed castes. I am not completely against reservations in India. I just plead to the politicians not to use reservation as a tool to suppress those who are really talented and denied opportunities. India should be secular. I am still an Indian loving India more than my life!
