Somehow, this is never done in the case of the reservations. Political? Absolutely. But does that make a case against this policy? Absolutely no!Madhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644775431982631751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885412.post-1148845494001785092006-05-29T01:14:00.000+05:302006-05-29T01:14:00.000+05:30Dear Madhat,I don't have a platform for voicing my...Dear Madhat,<BR/><BR/>I don't have a platform for voicing my opinion so I am using your blog. I have put in comments as anonymous in your previous post.<BR/><BR/>Here is my message for the striking and protesting doctors.<BR/>----------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Dear Doctors, I just want to know in concise manner what is your reason to protest reservation. What I know can be summed as following two points.<BR/><BR/>1. The quota will decrease the seats in institutes<BR/>2. The quota doctors will be of sub-standard quality.<BR/><BR/>My take on both these is as follows :<BR/><BR/>1. The government has said that it will increase the number of seats so that your seats are not reduced. <BR/><BR/>2.Let's assume students are admitted based on quota who are less meritious than you as you claim. So aren't there exams at the end of first year, second year or whatever? so if they are of sub-standard they won't pass the exams. Or you think government is asking for quota in passing the exams as well.<BR/><BR/>So I guess, I have answered your disagreeing questions. Please have a sensible and quality debate. Don't generate hysteria and hijack the debate over non-issues.<BR/><BR/>Why aren't you doctors complaining when the seats in some of the medical colleges are given on the basis of capitation fees? Why no protest for them? Are they not sub-standard doctors? I bet there will be many colleagues of yours from those capitation fees colleges. Please shun this hypocrisy. OBCs like Dalits have been long opressed and Indian consitution is trying to given them social justice. This was adopted on the day constitution was adopted. If you disagree with the constitution of India then please say so. And then I guess you will have to leave the country.<BR/><BR/>I thought doctors viewed everyone as equal and compassionate. Never knew that you meritous intellectuals can be so racist.<BR/><BR/>----------------------------------------------------------------------Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885412.post-1148665602909561902006-05-26T23:16:00.000+05:302006-05-26T23:16:00.000+05:30Agreed.

But politician are always using this issue to create controversy and gain political benefit from it, therefore it should be ignored. Do you think, Arjun singh hasn't any idea what controversy would create from his announcement. He had done this, because he knows he will get benefits with this controversy. Sometime, I feel all this controversy has created by arjun singh and his team indirectly (Though many of us were get exited by media hype). Because, I know the behavior of medico's. Generally they are very much self centered. They are always avoiding controversies (specially students), because they feel this may harm there carrier and for this their teacher may give them low marks in practical. And this time they are on road for merit. From where they got inspiration to fight for such noble cause. What is the stand of there teachers and governing body of medical collages. why student of iit and iim are not on road. Even student of general class whose are studying in plus two and graduation are not on the road, though they are the lot who get harm most through this decision? These are several questions which always confuse me. And I am actually concerning for those who are sentimentally attached from this issue and make themselves ill and someone is playing with there sentiments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885412.post-1148639648523305882006-05-26T16:04:00.000+05:302006-05-26T16:04:00.000+05:30As I think neither government jobs nor jobs in pri...<I>As I think neither government jobs nor jobs in private sector has capability to solve the problem of unemployment in India.</I><BR/><BR/>true, true. agreed. We need to improve the infrastructure and encourage small scale industries. The thing is these things are administered by the government/government officials. If the majority of the people who shape the policies and govern are from a small section of the population, then there is a problem. For example, city slickers cannot really understand the problems of the farmers (which is probably the reason for so much apathy towards farmer suicides).<BR/>I think by reservations, we give a more coherent and diversity to the administration. Then, perhaps, the administration would not focus solely on the welfare of just a certain section of the population.<BR/><BR/>Are you suggesting a reduction of power of the government and increase in the power of local self-governance? How is that related to reservations?<BR/><BR/>Plus, I dont the thinking behind reservations is not just to get people jobs but to <EM>empower</EM> them.<BR/><BR/>To know more about SEP go to -<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEP_fieldMadhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644775431982631751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885412.post-1148635320713966602006-05-26T14:52:00.000+05:302006-05-26T14:52:00.000+05:30As I think neither government jobs nor jobs in pri...As I think neither government jobs nor jobs in private sector has capability to solve the problem of unemployment in India. For this what we need is infrastructure (electricity & road) and environment(minimum sarakari interference & empowered local self governance) to setup small scale industries. That recalls me the famous statement of Lenin, "we need just electricity & local self governance of the development of our country"<BR/>We have to leave the tendency of dependency upon government and simultaneously minimize the power of central and state government and even beurocracy.(Therefore concept of reservation bother me least) <BR/>And as I think nuxalite is also thinking in same manner. They are not fighting for jobs. They are fighting for equal rights and people's supermacy.<BR/><BR/>you haven't told me about sepAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885412.post-1148624079986475852006-05-26T11:44:00.000+05:302006-05-26T11:44:00.000+05:30@anon:I don't think that reservations have affecte...@anon:<BR/>I don't think that reservations have affected the unemployment rate in India. <BR/><BR/><I>we should talk about nuxalite problem which is spreading in about almost all eastern and south eastern India.</I><BR/><BR/>It is interesting that you touched this point because I wanted to talk about this in the context of reservations. Why is there a naxalite movement in India? Why does enjoy people's (mostly the rural poor) sympathy (because without it they could have not have survived, let alone grown into a great threat)? And what does reservations aim to solve?<BR/>The Naxalite movement owes its origin to the peasant uprising that broke out in Naxalbari.<BR/><BR/>I do not think brutal repression of the naxalite movement is going to solve anything but that is what the government is going to do...<BR/><BR/>Could reservations, if implemented properly, be a solution to the naxalite movement?

Though at that time vp singh had announce reservation for all jobs, today what arjun singh has declared is just part of those declaration. reservation in iim, iit and medical collages are not those issue which could effect the future of our country. This is that time when we have to bother about foreign investors who are able to collapse our share market (so called life line of our rising economy) in even few hours. we have to discuss about the policies of investment. we should talk about wheat crop. since we have good crop of wheat this year government has exported wheat. we should talk about nuxalite problem which is spreading in about almost all eastern and south eastern India. we should talk about the man Babulal Miranda, being a politician he is doing a different type of job. he has left his party & membership of parliament. And he hasn't any desire to collapse the government of his competitor arjun munda. he has declared that at least six month he wants to work among people. wants to establish a regional political party and after that he wants to challenge government. This is the guts to oppose someone and create something. we have to discuss about Bihar panchayat election by which large number(50 percent) of female representative will selected and work for there panchayat for five years. This is also reservation and we haven't seen any politician(so called dirty) fighting against this. there is also reservation for sc/st and obc. this will left more(much-much) effect on future of our country. <BR/>That was the reason I myself felt unable to tolerate the silly angers & tears of cosmopolitan anti-reservationists. For me this is the game of arjun singh type politician and let them play with his co-politicians.
