living with reservations

Its always been an embarrassment to hear & answer this question. As for “who asked it?”, I suggest not to be concerned about as long as you believe you have answered. And weather its right or wrong? Is debatable.
“If you believe in a casteless society, every major step you take must be such that you move towards a casteless society. Unfortunately, the step we are taking today in accepting the mandal report, is a caste formula. While accepting this reality, we must dilute that formula and break it by ADDING SOMETHING to it. Even at this late hour, there is time to pull the country back from caste division”.. & continues. Any idea who told these words? Well its none other than our late PM Mr. Rajiv Gandhi.

After 60 years of so called “In-dependence”, our current political leaders graduated from ‘Gandhi School Of Politics: A politics of convenience, not always of conviction’ are still ADDING SOMETHING only to increase the reservation quota which is a shame. When having reservations for the past 60 years have not contributed to developing INDIA, then why still have it!?!
