Reservations in Elite Institutions

I'm writing this post because of the following pictures ... which were telecast all over the T.V. when I went home on Saturday and Sunday. Almost all the news channels were portraying the same brutality, with which the fucked-up-son-of-a-bitch-so-called police buggers hit the medicos in Mumbai. It was insane. I was shocked at the way those bastards were treating the medicos, as if they were some hardcore criminals.These politicians are the worst ever in the world. I'd rather live in some country like Zimbabwe now, rather than this place called INDIA. As George Bernard Shaw, put it once - " POLITICS IS THE LAST REFUGE OF A SCOUNDREL ", I feel that its definitely true in the case of Indian Politics, and especially Congress.



This is most inhuman treatment meted out ever ... I've been reading news all day from NDTV, IBN Live etc. I read Nishant Mehta's mail just now, sent to students.iiit.net ; He says that he supports reservations ... I pose him a few questions -

1. Will you be ready to get treated by only the docs who got seats thru reservations all your life, from now on ?

2. How long do you think that, if a person with say, 70,000th rank in AIEEE comes and builds a bridge or a massive building, stays as it is, and not collapse ?

3. Will you take up the responsibility if the above thing happens ?

I've got a few suggestions, though. He was talking all the way, about how reservations will help the poor man ... and etc. WHY THE FUCK NOT HELP HIM FINANCIALLY ? If he is such a great talent, a financial help will do him a world of good. I've heard cases in EAMCET(Test for admission into engineering and medical colleges in AP) ... where a guy with a rank of 1,00,000 has got a seat based on reservation .. What kind of fucked up bullshit is that ? This kind of a thing will destroy the basic idea of implementing an elite institution in the country.

The Congress is just doing this for the vote-banks ... and nothing else. I've been a staunch supporter of Congress all my life, but this decision baffles me the most. I dont think politicians have not learned the fact that one should not meddle with students. I guess Murli Manohar Joshi had already learnt this in the last elections, when he made a similar comment as the HRD Minister.. in a process to decrease the IIM fees. The ex-IIM students had gone to every house and made sure that MM Joshi lost his seat in a pathetic fashion. That was the incident which had an impact only on IIMs. But this is a national issue, and I'm pretty sure that Congress will be wiped out in the next general election. BJP will return to power big time.

For the worst case, I feel that all the doctors who are working in the government hospitals should resign at once ... so that the government will feel the pinch ... they will get fucked badly. And then only will they understand the gravity of this situation.

All of this is a political gimmick, and mainly for votes... because of the fact that Kapil Sibal had turned volte-face ... and also due to the fact that educated and highly respected ppl like Chidambaram, and Manmohan Singh have supported this quota system. They will know the best, but since they also have joined hands in supporting it, it just means that this is all for the votes... what ulti-fucked-up buggers !!

Yesterday, the Union Commerce Minister Kamal Nath was interviewed by Karan Thapar, as part of Devil's Advocate Programme in the CNN IBN channel. Kamal Nath was utterly confused at the end of it. He told Thapar initially that the whole idea of reservation was to get these ppl jobs, so that they would not be economically backward ... in the coming generations and etc. But, accg to Thapar , the current CII and the NSSO figures state that most of the companies in India have more than 50 % of their employees as SC , ST and OBCs ... so, where's the fucking point in having these reservations ? And, as expected Kamal Nath was bulbing ...

One last thing is that, if a student cant perform well in the 11th and 12th practicals in biology, what the fuck can he do in his medical course ? And his first surgeon ? ... I guess I'd say he wid be lucky to make atleast one person survive in his whole life as a surgeon. Rather .. he wid be lucky to survive ... killing ppl after ppl .. operation after operation.

For ppl who are concerned, there is a protest march to be held in Hyderabad ( mostly frm Tank Bund to Raj Bhavan Road) on this Saturday. So, if you are interested, be there. Mails will be sent soon to students@students.iiit.net

One thing is for sure .. just because of this decision, I've decided to vote every time from now on, and I will vote against CONGRESS every single time for the next 50 years atleast.
