I suggest you read it again, after having half a pill of Valium to cool yourself down. <BR/>If you were to read the post the way it was meant to be read, you'd have understood that I fully support equal opportunity, and that this opportunity can only be made accessible if it were NOT channelled away by second-handers.<BR/><BR/>To make this explicit - I respect Jagjivan Ram the way I respect Baba Amte. I do not, however, respect Meira Kumar whose sole claim to fame is that she's Jagjivan Ram's daughter. Similarly for the Gandhi seed that's crawling all around my home state of Orissa.<BR/>My main point of concern is that reservations do NOT, in fact, reach out to those people who need them the most, and are always taken up by those who have no need for it, and have been born with a silver spoon, relative to the rest of India.<BR/>The issue of my being born a Brahmin does not in any way affect the quality of my argument; that is a logical bias and an "ad hominem" attack. It's stupid of you to suggest that only those who have gone through poverty know about it; you do NOT need to be able to lay eggs to know if an egg is badly cooked.<BR/>Social responsibility comes not from fake measures such as reservations that are only meant to line the pockets of politicians with votes. Again, I'd rather vote for Mohammed Younus or the late Baba Amte any day than any of the clowns who sit in the Indian Parliament after having hoodwinked millions of morons such as yourself.<BR/>To conclude, your reasoning is superfluous, and your anger has coloured your judgement. I sincerely suggest you re-read what I'm trying to say.<BR/>As for the burly Dalit, dude, I'll be a million miles away - in matters of calamity, I am pretty sure my "Fight or Flight" hormone system will be leaning to the right.Mugger Muchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972597935893584713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410953.post-5592517458602605062008-03-23T00:24:00.000+05:302008-03-23T00:24:00.000+05:30Presumptious....Hmm... so the upper castes created...Presumptious....Hmm... so the upper castes created the cake and the lower castes are hyenas....this is the sum total of your argument....what your forefathers did by discriminating and creating caste imbalances is not your concern ..you want your cake and want to eat it to....the person who tilled the soil to make the wheat and cleaned the utensils to bake the cake can go take a walk...what matters is the baker for withouthm there could be no cake and ...what can a dalit know about baking a cake.....May you be born a dalit in your next life in a village with social ostracism like Jagjivan Ram....he atleast fought and rose....perhaps you will conform to your fate and fade in to oblivion....<BR/>Ther some thing called social responsiblity and human values...you are preaching survival of the fittest....but I do hope when you preach that...you meet a big burly Dalit twice your size and I am sure you wil then talk about civilization and not survivial of the fittest....<BR/><BR/>A human being born as an upper caste and moulded to civilized thinking with a human touch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410953.post-1159546309554783682006-09-29T21:41:00.000+05:302006-09-29T21:41:00.000+05:30where are the new posts?where are the new posts?Dipanjan Dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06888124706772906331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410953.post-1150202928029776632006-06-13T18:18:00.000+05:302006-06-13T18:18:00.000+05:30All hail the Croc he's blogging againAs one of the...All hail the Croc he's blogging again<BR/><BR/>As one of the erstwhile pseudo-liberal bleeding-heart armchair social-empowerment activists let me just say for my ilk not all of us for the henious policy unleashed by the Singh Parivar.<BR/>You my friend are verbose as always....(good to see you are not moping anymore since I seem to be doing more than my fair share)<BR/><BR/>Nice analysis...and product differentiation hit the nail on the head...but www.AntiReservation.Org....seriously..cmon<BR/>you know theres only one hope....THE LAND OF THE BRAVE AND THE FREE!<BR/><BR/>P.S. - ....when u coming to cal????

Howeverthe name of the game at the top (read: the political system , the media)is to manipulate and so they do it. Education is a process , yet, the power structure chooses to work on some results, usually personal, without realising that it is the process takes care of the results. Reservation hardly, if ever, effects the actual process. Yet, not all Indians are idiots and everyone's voice is important as far as this issue is concerned.<BR/><BR/>Here's my take..<BR/><BR/>www.antiestablishmentinc.blogspot.comAnti-establishment Inchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959762837486531467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410953.post-1148977719785670362006-05-30T13:58:00.000+05:302006-05-30T13:58:00.000+05:30chilling facts ... served with hot coffee ...chilling facts ... served with hot coffee ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410953.post-1148943685165806382006-05-30T04:31:00.000+05:302006-05-30T04:31:00.000+05:30nice post.a few people from IITK requested me to s...nice post.<BR/><BR/>a few people from IITK requested me to sign a letter along with them that they were sending to various newspapers. i translated it to bengali and will try to send it to bangla papers as well. did you participate in any rally?Dipanjan Dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06888124706772906331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410953.post-1148897209291153522006-05-29T15:36:00.000+05:302006-05-29T15:36:00.000+05:30Very true dude... its impossible to imagine how it...Very true dude... its impossible to imagine how it'd be with one in two kgpians coming in thru the quota.<BR/><BR/>PS: Do read this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_AntoinetteSunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602211410984729349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410953.post-1148765521604694022006-05-28T03:02:00.000+05:302006-05-28T03:02:00.000+05:30What do you think is the current percentage of OBC...What do you think is the current percentage of OBC students in IITs?
