...truly a lallu
'...rough estimates - without the benefit of cross-tabulations - seem to suggest that Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, OBCs and Muslims may together account for around 90 per cent of the population below the poverty line in both rural and urban India. If true, this is of immense significance for policy and deserves detailed investigation. ' Some interesting figures from the1991 Census analysed here.
What was Shri Laloo Prasad Yadav, so very expansively, promising yesterday ? '10% of the seats would be reserved for poor students from the upper castes.' The above figures tell you poor (below the poverty line families) from the upper castes constitute around !0% of the total poor in India. So what percentage do the poor from the upper castes amount to in the total population of India?
Laloo is looking at upper caste votebanks I suppose - why would he otherwise propose to reserve four times as many seats for a particular section of Indians as their percentage in the total population?

inidianskoolstudents,
the existence of iits/iims without obcs is unjustified.
dharmesh,
'..and if talent and hardwork is not important then why not have reservations in cricket team, movies, politics..'
can't you guys think of anything less puerile than these 'indian cricket team' jokes to oppose reservations...
dharmesh,
do the upper castes want jobs as bhangis, barbers, chamars etc., those guys lack merit and are inefficient in their jobs- there is a crying need to infuse some real merit in these areas, don't you think?
yes, i know you guys are protesting on the streets that that is what you'd end up as if reservations are implemented...but please understand the country needs your merit badly in those areas..and as that'd be in tune with your stated objective 'equality', i think it's time you started challenging the gross 'inequality' in those fields too.. because all those jobs seem 'reserved' for certain castes.
indianskoolstudents, aap bilkul theek hein: "ek kaam karte hain na...sare obcs ko aise hi degree de dete hain...without course"
thats the way its headed i think unfortunately.....states like tamil nadu and bengal already have ridiculous levels of reservations- it looks now like the rest of the country will follow.....
Mr OBC ...we are open to have reservations in you core competency areas like bhangis, barbers, chamars for the ppl who do not have "fair" representation in these fields as you say, but excercising the reservation is anyones' presonal choice. So after this radical move don't come back and say that now you don't even have that job left for you.
If this sounds rude try to see who started it
i appreciate arjun singhs daring move realising the conditions prevailing in india. im a medical student in general category about to write entrance exams in 2007
obc reservations is the need of the hour.this is the first time tat govt has been doing somethng positive for these weaker sections who constitute57 percent of population. one more thing .govt run these institutes from money of tax payers.27% resertrvation for 57%of tax payers is really a meagre nothing .but all cheers for mr arjun singh
no reaon for aiims students to strike.. out of 132 pg seatsin aiims 33%is reserved for them.ie all 40 will get pg in aiims itself even if they score nothing in pre pg exams.now they are in streets for rollback of reservations.which kind of backwardness do they have to be entitled with such reservation.aiims fellas better shut up and do your work.let the govt do their work.
anonymous,
'one more thing .govt run these institutes from money of tax payers.27% resertrvation for 57%of tax payers is really a meagre nothing'
you said it - if your kind of wisdom had been shown in 1955 or 1980 when the kalelkar and and mandal commissions submitted their respective reports.. perhaps we wouldn't have needed the reservations today. thanks.
ananthan,
'which kind of backwardness do they have to be entitled with such reservation'
did you expect the ruling classes to totally disregard their favorite constituency? to expand the seats the govt says it needs 10,000 crores .. did they ever in the past make any such major investment decision, at a single stroke, in favour of the education of dalit/obc children?
thanks for dropping by. cheers!
Agar 96% wale obc ko 99% wale ki seat milti hai tab bhi thik hai per agar 50% wale ko seat milti hai to ye to wahi bat hui ki ek majdur ko 1 crore ki lottery lag gayi ho aur use un paiso ko thik se use bhi nahi kana aata ho,tab to wo un paiso ko juae aur sharab me barbad kar ke phir se vanhi pahuch jayega jahan se hume use uthaya tha.
