U might have seen in many instances where the original intent of a decision is usually lost in course of its implementation.. This serves as a perfect example if you are looking for one..
Its a pity/curse that on a day when Indian Economy is almost growing at two times compared to the US Economy we are talking about reservations in some of the most prestigious institutions of the country..
Where did these reservations come up from ??As far as my knowledge goes the First Planning Comission/Constitution drafters introduced the concept of reservation for a specific period of 10/20 years as some sections of the society in the pre-independence era were literally treated lower compared to the other sections. So inorder to get them back into the society they were given certain special priveleges (reservations) but unfortunately people have used it for their own political advantage and thatz the reason i believe it has been lasting for ever.. Wow what a tool it has bcom for the politicians to increase its vote bank !! nothing less than a lottery to them .. For me it makes much more sense to provide some financial help to the economically backward people (not socially)
Its a shame to see students getting beaten up the police and all severely but the way the students are fighting for this cause is really great I sincerely hope that they will achieve the desired result. This reminds me that "Common Sense is the most uncommon thing is this world"
Apart from that ....
What a bloody day for Indian markets today !! the market cap that has been lost is about 4 lakh crores !!
