what is heard

India, always keep its people busy with either scam, political dramas, disaster and so on. So, now it's agitation and excitement about reservation.

I do not quite get what's the core issue behind this. The great thing that's been observed by everyone is the fire from the students community. The nation's health is in a good position, only when the young citizens are alert and active. Good to see this.

But... Where did you go, for all other pestering national issues? Will you get down on the road only when the issue ripples around YOU?

Guys, why not you make the difference?

I would suggest that all those who are anti-reservation must realize that the historical processes that have resulted in a situation like today entail that one cannot wish away reservation, as much as one argues against it, there are sociological reasons that are relatively sound enough that buttress the argument for reservations. Then, again, one needs to articulate that even if reservation as a policy is implemented, careful analysis of how exactly it benefits those it intends to benefit, has to be done. At the same time, for those who argue for social justice, it must be understood that mere social change and transfer of elites would not change the societal structure and annihilate caste..a full and thorough blown change in rural India vis-à-vis land ownership and concerted state action are a must. One must therefore strengthen the nation state, at the same time decentralizing power to effect a change in structures in rural areas, and argue for substantial rationality in the functioning of urban modern institutions and not merely push for neo-liberal reforms that perpetuate inequality and exacerbate class and caste tendencies.
