b4 we get down to business--let me make few points clear :

1)i belong to forward community

2) read on:

    man the rage you show is nothin compared to mine.....yes the whole idea of introducin quotas in centralised institutions is an error....QUOTAS in JOBS  arent such a bad thing....

i say this after a long period of rage n thought....

jus think--

in every village 60% of ppl belong to backward community----25% to scheduled and the remainin 10-15% by fc's ------i take the example of villages coz INDIA LIVES IN ITS VILLAGES.  we are lucky to have only 49.5% quotas.....if all those OVER-PRIVILEGED guyz belonging to backward communities demand more quota on the basis of POPULATION..we are DOOMED, doomed my friend........

      see in my native village(currently m in chennai no that village) outta 1200 ppl only 60 ppl belong to fwd comm............nd i proudly say that all 60 are in good position today.......coz WHEN GOVERNMENT CLOSED ONE ROUTE (public sector firms that is)- fc's have made hay by opening another route-private sector.................

REMEMBER WHEN ONE DOOR IS CLOSED WE HAVE ENUF INTELLIGENCE N SELF-CONTROL to bring ourselves forward......while about 20 bc's got into govt. jobs thro quotas n are in good positions toda......the remainin ones in ma village are still survivin n fightin to live......n offerin their services only in increasin the population.......their lives r useless to society......they have been left in dark........

SO what  tryin to say by takin ma own native place as example is that :

1)THE GOVT.s aim of bringin everyone into the light is not successful

2) the guyz who used quota have turned greedy n now are usin quotas for their heirs.....

3)its not that this quota has made fc's struggle.......or sumthin....we still keep findin ways out........

4)n the biggest prob is if the seats under quota are not filled by appropriate backward candidates THEY ARE LEFT VACANT------wat a bummer!!!

By saying this i support QUOTAS at current 49.5%(with creamy thingy condition) only in jobs.......M NOT  A SUPPORTER OF QUOTAS IN PREMIER INSTITUTES. So jus remember this dont let quota hamper your prep in anyway....you must try to win a seat in open competion---

n the next time any one wants to put his point across on quotas.......be more specific......argue only 4 the premieer institutions..thats the only way you can awaken a few ppl................remember opposing QUOTAS in general is not goin to see anythin happen(except watch tempers run high) n remember population-based quotas cac be catastrophic to us.....

so stop self-pityin n cursin MY COUNTRY......

coz quota has a good aim but wrong implementation........

i'll be talkin of ncert buks a few moments from now.....

cheerio!
