I read this blog as a source of inspiration, my patience levels being dismal I often want to take leave of the internet altogether. Blogs present the tiniest crack for the expression of alternate views such as the ones covered here and your personal, honest answer to my query is very significant and I deeply appreciate your taking the time to answer it. Thanks :)anuhttp://castory.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-80595175504515171072009-06-23T00:12:49.356+05:302009-06-23T00:12:49.356+05:30anu:

I was speaking at a personal level. The blog disturbs me (and some others I've introduced to it) out of complacency and into thinking. And for me that is always a good thing.SSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-79931923213058473922009-06-22T17:22:11.477+05:302009-06-22T17:22:11.477+05:30>>the people of india or only the members of...>>the people of india or only the members of certain meritorious castes? <br /><br />People of India. Would that include the maid, the peanut seller, the auto driver, the butcher -paying tax on match boxes, rice, salt and dhal are also paying for the IIT’s? God, then they will turn out to be OBC’s and other things and want to send their children to these places, using those horrendous reservations the good governments come up with. We should let the media carry on with its noble pursuit; otherwise it will be war on merit, no? <br /><br />Here is Delhi University one step ahead:<br /><br />“This year, there are 49,000 seats -- 7,000 more than last year -- to ensure OBC quota doesn't affect general category students.<br />"If the reserved seats don't get filled in they will be open for the General category," said Dr Gulshan Sawhney, Associate Professor, Delhi University.<br /><br />After all those protests and the teething problems in it's implementation, the OBC quota is in it's second year. And with more number of seats it's a win-win situation for both -- the OBC and the General category students.” <br /><br />Additional seats, plus unfilled OBC's seats, but win-win...! <br /><br />@Smokescreen,<br />do you think relentless blogging on such topics by a tiny fraction of Indian bloggers has an impact? It upsets a few, who imagine they are liberal, beyond that...?anuhttp://castory.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-76841981849845491882009-06-22T16:00:57.961+05:302009-06-22T16:00:57.961+05:30Spot on, kuffir.
