I had talked about the "Quota" system a few days back in my post "Finally they made me happy" but this news made me re-write on the reservation policy again, but this time with more focus on the "Women's Quota" system.
The so called "Aaj Ki Naari" claims to be no way behind men and walks shoulder to shoulder with men. The female genes boast of their equality with men in each field and even of outshining them in certain areas. This is appreciable, very much appreciable and I clap for their achievement and success and the way they have come ahead to match the steps with the men. But I hate them when parallely they asks for "Women's Reservation". Why do they need reservation? If we are talking of bringing in equality, then their should be equality of "Opportunity” and not the equality of “Distribution”. Let us create an environment where we have equal opportunity for both men and women to “Compete” and whoever wins should hold the trophy.
We have “Women’s Quota” every where, In education, election tickets, railway tickets, Jobs etc etc. Why do they need that, if they have the guts and power to achieve by their knowledge, skill, hard work or what ever they have on basis of what they claim to be at par with men today?
The concern is, if we go ahead with this then next will be the demands from SC/ST, OBC and minority groups, result: hardly any seats left for the general mass and ten years down the line we may have to reverse the cycle and ask for “Men’s Quota” and reservations for people under “General” category.
Why not take the example from developed countries like US and UK where we do not have any such reservation system. We should be creating competition and not making arrangements for distribution. If I am better than my female counterpart, then it is me who is worthy of the seat and not she.

Why are’nt we reacting?
Now, we have these Bangladeshi’s firing on us. As if Pakistanand China were not enough for the border disputes....This is the 5th time in about 4 months that BDR has opened fire on the Indian Army jawans with no appropriate reason. But still the world’s greatest democratic country maintains it’s silence.
I understand the case with Pakistan and China and why India cannot react instantaneously, but what I cannot understand is why India does not take a firm stand against this repeated firing from the BDR?
We very well know that Bangladesh cannot exist if India doesn't want it to....don't they understand that???
It is really sad to note that india does not do anything about this but rather give Bangladesh concessions and trade and what they give us in return is the Firing and the illegal immigrants into India.
Came across this blog from a Bangladeshi. It shows how greatly she appreciates the help India had rendered to Bangladesh. Why not all other Bangladeshi’s learn his very fact and try and appreciate their neighbor country?

A friend blogger here also has taken up some pain in finding some good facts about this so called best QM of India.
Looks like people of today’s world are really upto doing some realty check before digesting any gospels.

WAR ON TERROR
This article here from Juan Cole provides a good dig into the making of terrorists and the so called “War on Terror” launched by the US.
It’s interesting to know the fact that it was the US itself who gave birth to terrorists and the terrorism and now it’s the same US again claiming to wipe out the same – very ironic…. huh!!

Finally they made me happy
The issue had troubled me since my high school days; the issue of reservations in educational institutions against various quotas SC/ST, minority class, female quota, NRI quota and all that shit.
I totally disliked it and thought how they can compromise education on basis of those things. What will happen if say a guy having a privilege of any of this quota qualifies MBBS entrance seeking minimal merit or rather below minimal merit and finally graduates as a Doctor? Will he give an excuse at the operation theatre that he cannot treat the patient as he failed to pass on that particular skill/knowledge and was graduated by luck because of the quota?
I understand that these class of people are poor and so need support, but they need monetary support – give them book bank facility, waive off the fees etc. but why reduce the required minimal percentage for these guys? The selection to admission of any education should be purely on merit basis and there should be no second thought on this.

Why Should I Pay Taxes?
I was just thinking on a similar line, “Why Should I Pay Taxes?” the other day and here comes the post from an old friend letting his thoughts on the same road as traveled by mine.
The CVC Report projects the height of corruption that has infiltrated the country. The Indian Army, which is the most trusted part, is all infected by this growing plaque. CVC Report shows Millions of dollars drained into the corrupt minister’s pocket. If this is the way government has decided to utilize My Money then Why Should I Pay Taxes?
Few days before I was reading that Arjun Munda ministry ordered about 20 bullet proof Tata Safari’s for their officials, which cost to Crores of Rupees. The amount which could have been utilized to build about 140 houses under Indira Vikash Yojna. The poor are now devoid of their houses because the money was spent in catering to the luxury of the corrupt ministers. No sooner did these ministers came into power, they got their house renovated. If this is the way government has decided to utilize My Money then Why Should I Pay Taxes?
