Reservation

The more I think about the whole issue, the more I feel that it is a turf war between two rich and powerful groups; the prize being money, power and position, not just for the current generation, but for their progeny as well. Each group puts forward seemingly fair arguments -- the supremacy of merit on the one hand and the setting right of social injustices on the other -- but the real motives are pretty transparent. While all this is happening, the real people who deserve reservation are completely ignored by both groups. The politicians are meanwhile having a whale of a time.

BTW, The Hindu editorial flaming President Kalam for sending back the government's Office of Profit Bill is totally uncalled for; here's one guy who is calling BS on the politicians, and all you can say is that "he's throwing a spanner in the politics of the country"? Shame on you. If you ask me, we don't need a spanner; we need a nuke.
