MAHA RALLY.... 4TH JUNE INDIRA PARK...

[Vishnu Reddy]

Q.Why the protest?



A. We want to tell the government that we are not sitting idle and tolerating whatever is enforced on us.We are not slaves and we have a right to chose and right to protest against what we feel is wrong. We shall do whatever it takes to make India a great country , but great nations are not build on compartmentalised society. RESERVATION IS THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION. We need to make the government realise that they just can't dictate the terms because they are in a seat of power , we have the freedom of speech and we shall voice our opinion.

Protests will at least force the Government to do something in minimising the consequences to the people affected by it . It will be forced to address the issue. The SC has directed the Government to reply within 8 weeks on the basis of arriving at the decision for 27% reservation. According to NSS data OBC's account for only 32% of population and further, data available with Statistics and Implementaiton Ministry shows that they already have around 25 - 30% of seats in college of higher learning. What then is this reservation for?? VOTES, VOTES,VOTES !!!

Lets make the Government realise that people who oppose this reservation also are in substantial number and will show them it matters when we vote in one voice.

As much as I applaud the cause for which this is being undertaken, do u really think there's going to be any positive outcome?

But there again, it's probably this attitude of mine that has brought our country to this state anyway, right?

[CtrlAltDel]

its a waste if time. the reservations arent going away



we can save our energy for protests if the politicians try to touch the private sector.

[blah]

Nothing more disgusting than a guy flaunting a name ending in a caste denomination ranting about caste based reservations.



Also, CAD's infinite wisdom about voting in elections rings hollow. I myself, in my youthful naivete, peddled that line many a time. But really speaking, Indian political system, and this is an indictment of democracies world over as well, gives one very few real choices.



The problem is we are a top down democracy rather than a bottom up one. Tickets are given to candidates by political parties based on arbitrary criteria like one's lineage etc. What the candidates themselves stand for is seldom known. Yeah, there is a superflouus document put out called the "Manifesto" which outlines what a party, remember not an individual, will do if voted into power. There is no oversight or accountability after that. No one is required to adhere to their manifesto. As if this were not sufficient, we have that odious anti-defection law and the stupid Whip system, which effective emasculate our esteemed elected legislators.



What we have in India is the worst of all the systems in the world. We have a parliamentary democracy, but we vote for Sonia or Vajpayee, not for the individual parliamentarian in question.



What is the solution, one might ask? I am not one for saying "Kuch nahin ho sakta". Reading over the different posts, one thing comes across. That the politicians are this greedy evil lot who are out to pillage and rape the nation. Well, what exactly is preventing you Mr./Ms. Conscientious Well-Meaning Joe/Joanna from taking a more active role in the political process? There is lies the solution. Once we stop thinking that politics is the last resort of scoundrels, more and more right-thinking people enter politics. Maybe we can become like the USofA then.

I thought on exactly the same lines as you many a time. But think of it, Do you think a guy standing as an independent can compete in the election which is run my big money campaings? It is not an excuse I am giving but just one of the difficulties people face in putting that idea into practice.

Well there is only one way to develop india, And that is a "bottom up approach". Start with small communities, wards in cities, and villages. Its going to be a long process and not an instant relovution. first you make a huge base of people who believe in the same ideology , that will definetly take 10- 15 years. Then you can usher in the revolution. So the answer to india's problems lies in an approach that includes the majority of the people. Not the elite and the urban. If a process can be put into practise now ,, wec an hope to look at results in 2020, where we will have enough people wanting the same kind of things. Thats when things will indeed change.

It is a good thing to protest against the government. But the government will laugh at the big protest. Although we feel that with a big protest we are humiliating the government, but on the other side the government will feel that they are so strong that people in such large numbers have come out for the protest.



Frankly the government wants to divide and rule. Why have they forbidden the screening of the movie ( U know which one). It is just to create a difference of opinion in the public. There is no such thing as a Muslim, Christian of Hindu. Take for example the Hindu God Ram--He killed so many demons and Ravana--Shall we call him a killer. It is just how one interperates any text given.



The people of Hyderabad hv been very tolerant. There has been a very good harmony in the living of hyderabadis. They why should the govt. interfere with their reservations etc.
