Sing(h)ing the song of quota again

After VP Singh it is another Singh singing the song of minority quota again. This time it’s the HRD minister Arjun Singh following a similar suit as done by his fellow minister VP Singh some years back. Yet another time they are asking for an additional 27% seats for SC, ST and OBC making the total amounting to a cool 50%. These quotas will be applicable on seats to the most prestigious organizations in India like IIT’s, IIM’s, medical and other central universities also. The politicians aim at bridging the gap between the minority class as well as higher class, but in the process they are only widening it. More so it is creating bitter feelings in the heart of qualified, talented and competent class other then the above mentioned. There has been adequate quota reserved for them, in which still there is blank seats to be filled. Then why 27% more they need? For the Vote-Bank indeed! The upper caste reconciliation to mandal was the idea of VP Singh, seen as the “Raja Manda” onemanship against backward leaders within the Janta Dal, rather than justice for the so called backward classes. Had it been in the people’s favor and fight for the people’s rights and justice, both these men have taken a look back at there constituency where there is no signs of development and progress. They look the same as twenty years before; either it is Manda(near Allahabad) in VP Singh or the same for Arjun Singh. If it is the greater good of people then why don’t they mind their own business of and do justice to the people who had send them to the parliament to at least bring the basic amenities like electricity, water, better roads and education to their door step. Or else stop bragging the Raaga of quota to come in light with the media and people for the sake of publicity and the vote-bank politics.
The selection process to any institution should be made totally on merit and talent of the student, not on the basis of caste or creed or religion. Already there are 80 to 85 thousand Indians studying in foreign universities, had the quota been implemented in the way it has been time is not far that more talented Indian will move across the border in search of quality education where their own country betrayed them. Imagine for tomorrow the country will be run by doctors and engineers who have been the bottom slot in talent and brains. Can you rest your future in their hands? and will these MP’s who run to foreign lands even for a minor medication to foreign lands, would like to be treated by these QUOTA SELECTED doctor’s who are not competent enough.
But still I favor quota, provided it is implemented at the place it had been held up for long: PALIAMENT. Let us remove 50% MP’s who do not belong to the backward caste and have a perfect example of doing justice to this sect of class. Let’s start this motion ‘cause this is only justified. Agreed ! what’s say …
