Reservations- Still there !!!!

Years back lots of youth lost their lives to fight against the menace of reservations which was a result of political gimmick played by “Mandal Hero” V P Singh. Due to his ambitions of fulfilling his political dream through politics of social upliftment of lower caste people, lots of promising young blood lost their lives. It was a negative politics which divided the society into two halves. Though I never say that lower caste was not treated badly and not neglected in the society. But instead of bridging the gap through their economic and educational betterment, caste based divide occured. Lower caste has been given a state. They have been told publicly that you are lower caste and now formally and politically we are putting a stamp that you are sick and weaker section of the society. Only 2-3% of lower caste has been helped through reservations. Reservation was there but there was a bad implementation of the system and corruption in machinery never let the benefit expand to the needier. Those who were living in villages and come under lower caste hardly benefited from this system. It was a lack of transparency and improper system that reservation is still beneficial for the lower caste of good income group and those who already have access of good education system or at least have a access to education system. Reservation is still irrelevant as the basic education is not provided to crores of children in India be it of any caste. If you don’t provide education to them then how can you expect them to apply for the post which has eligibility of 8th pass or high school?
I have several examples in places near my villages that people who are from schedule caste and backward class are still at the same level where they were at 15 years back. The Bhangis and Harijans(chamars as systems call them) living near my village ,are still very poor and comes under BPL (Below Poverty Line).They don’t have access of proper education system and they really never showed their interest in education. They were having more than 4 or 5 children to support them in their earnings through daily wages as laborers. The children hardly go to school. Leave this even children from upper caste don’t have proper school. If the school is there then teachers are not there and even teachers are appointed then they hardly come to school. Now a days situation is improving in Nitish Govt and people started to visit the school and there is law and order now and system is coming into its place. Still those who are willing to educate their child in better manner, send them to school in town which is 10 Kms away from village. This is not a case of one village. There are thousands of the villages in India which has the same poor story. The children don’t have access of proper diet in India. How can we even think of proper schooling for all? What happened to those who were SC/ST/OBC had access to schools and were in good economic condition ? I had several friends from school who initially got educated in below average schools and able to complete their graduation,got decent jobs.They were only helped by reservation.They could have achieved without reservations whatever they have achieved , beleive me.May be they could have taken one or two extra years.But they were capable .We never let them felt that they are weak and sick.We have given them same fight and it is true.They were good .But they got undue advantage of reservation system.
My point was that the reservations didn’t helped either. Dr. Kalam said once is very true “increase the number of seats so that even you apply reservations that would not reduce the number of seats for deserving category students”. Whenever the deserving youth was rehabilitant in its way, the government gave them a kick by increasing % of reservation. The people in government have nothing to do with social upliftment. They just want to utilize the SC/ ST /OBC votes to their stability and political benefits.Now the political party even playing a gimmick of giving reservation to upper cast people. The deserving youth has to fight more and struggle more .But they are excelling in Private sector Jobs where skill and personality maters the most.Wo kehte hain na ki "Sona tapne ke baad hi Nikharta hai”.

Gandhi Nagar Capital

“Gandhinagar Capital” is what written on the railway station. A small and quiet station crowded not by people but by trees at one side of station. The main gate side has few beautiful railway quarters embedded in the dense forest. Yellow buildings among green trees looks like jewel in the crown. No city in Asia can match the greenery of Gandhinagar. Yes, you are thinking right that G’nagar is greenest in Asia. I really want to appreciate this fact that Gandhinagar is one place where you can get really fresh air. You will get more than ten trees per person in Gandhinagar.My health has been improved in last few months just due to calm and less polluted environment. I am spiritually more developed here because of the people and environment which has a divine impact.

The whole world is feared of the impact of green house gases and degenerating and deterring condition of environment around us. Everybody hear and see the news of destruction by several cyclones, acid rains and flood. The whole world is suffering from the tremendous change through which the earth is going. The cyclones, flood, acid rains and drought are occurring very frequently and mankind and creatures of the earth are suffering the most. Are we really going into civilization? Civilization doesn’t mean destroying the nature. Are those big factories and chimneys symbol of civilization? Is this destruction a real development? The rivers that have given birth to human civilization are dying. People sitting in Kanpur, Delhi or Mumbai never bother about the river which is lifeline. They bother about their packaged drinking water but, they are really not concerned from where they come from? Everybody see rivers dying and nature is spoiling, but nobody is coming for rescue. Aam Indian is busy in roji-roti and ignorance about these rivers. They like to comment sometime, but they don’t know what to do?
What about Indian youth power who is well educated? They are busy most of the time in their quest of opposite sex friends and feel proud doing that because their American counterpart achieves these things. They start it early these days as American achieve early.Ok, lets focus again. Overall youth is trying to relish whatever underachievement their previous generation have through whatever means. I must say our previous generations were struggling to get their act together. The migration happened from a society which got independence to a society, which got some development with a confused meaning of the independence. The power was conceived as tool to rule the people, not to serve them and uplift the nation. The British rule was not over. We were confused system and the initially Congress governments were just an extension of British rule. Everything was just an extension of what happened in British rule. We were not evolving as a system of our own. That is why people, who were having power, misused it. Now again when they feel system is not in place they started copying Americans. Why we only copy other? Why we look for an American, Chinese and Japanese model of working. Though we tend to copy west more as we are English speaking people. Why cannot we have a Indian Model of working which is efficient? If we don’t copy west we can come up with our priorities for the problems and can get solutions of our problems as we think not as others think. We have copied literally everything from west, be it sports, constitution, governance, industrial development, allopath, education system, English and many more. Still we are confused people.
Why don’t we hear our heart? Why do we tend to think like the people in west? We are living in entirely different weather conditions, our environment is different. We can’t be like western people. We foolish people still blindly follow west. I tell you an example. The climate of India in different. It is hot but Lawyers still wear the clothes which were suggested by British. Is it justified? There are several other examples.

When I entered in Gandhinagar, it was altogether a different feeling. If you see and live in Gandhinagar, you will feel that heart is heard here. Everything is very close to nature and our own likings .The good things have been taken from west but the entire system is very much ours.

Gandhinagar is a well planned city and planned according to need of the people here. Every sector you live will give you a feeling of community. There are lots of trees and a temple in every sector. Few shops at a place for basic daily need goods. For shopping one can go to few sectors which have big markets. For vegetables there are organized selling centers. Gandhinagar is divided into 30 sections. Each section is 1 X 1 KM wide and long. .Gandhinagar is rectangular in shape. It is better planned than Chandigardh as it has got more roads and trees. The roads are wider and there are specific forest zones.The fuels for public vehicle used here is CNG which is less polluted. The impact of living in such a peaceful and organized place is very much visible on the people here. People here are honest, religious, calm and hard working and they are firm believer of their culture and roots. Now because of the nature and thinking of the people here they have got city like G’nagar. G’nagar and around has some of the best institutions India have. The institutions like Petroleum University, IIT, DAIICT, Plasma Research center have increased G’nagar intellectual capita.Living here is so easy and peaceful that I want to leave in this place forever. If you live in G’nagar you really don’t bother about few problems which every Indian is facing like Reservations on Caste basis, Transportation, sub standard drinking water, bad power situation, corruption, intense political battles, Gundagiri and many more. Gandhi is not a statue here. Gandhi is a philosophy here. You can sense it even in small child. I want to send alert to all people of cities who live in polluted and corrupt environment ,learn form G’nagar otherwise you all bound to fall.
