Can a country progress if the entire system is perverted? When the constitution was written at independence it was recognised that people of lower caste needed positive discrimination to climb out of poverty and menial jobs. This was called " Reservation " in that seats in higher educational institutions and government jobs were reserved for people who were categorised as Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe or Other Backward Classes. This discrimination against higher castes was meant to be for a short period of 10 years but politicians have kept it going and even increased the number of places under the reserved category. Now with elections due next year the UP Chief Minister is calling for reservation for Muslims, Jats and even upper caste poor. Naturally this perverted policy has led to great anger among those left out and we saw several deaths when Gujjars agitated to be classed as ST but were opposed by the Meenas, who are the sole beneficiaries now, because their share of undeserved benefits will be reduced. Politicians treat taxpayer money as personal property and promise blatant bribes to win elections such as color TVs, free electricity, cheap grains or cash handouts. The Prime Minister has not been elected by the people but appointed by the Empress of the spineless Congress. Poor people keep on breeding without check and instead of a long term program to reduce their numbers the debate is about whether Rs 35 per day income is the poverty line. This enables money to be spent on social schemes which are then looted by the criminal scum. Economic collapse will expose the liars but by then it will be too late.
