The evil of reservation.

In the last one week Jats have been agitating for OBC status in Haryana. Already one young man has been killed, the Jats blame police firing for the killing while the police blame the protesters, some of whom were apparently carrying firearms. Things got so bad the Congress government in Haryana, led by Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had to ask the army for help. In India 50% of seats in higher education and in government jobs are reserved for SC, Scheduled Caste, ST, Scheduled Tribes and OBC that is Other Backward Classes. This is apparently to redress past repression by upper caste Hindus on lower castes. Strangely, although barbarians of other religions invaded this country to loot and massacred countless millions of Hindus the so called " minorities " are a protected species in India and any mention of past crimes is severely punished as hate speech. Stranger still, it is the Congress which is resisting Jat claims for reservation in Haryana even though the Congress tried to use the same weapon to win votes in the recent elections in UP, a tactic that backfired spectacularly. In order to win Muslim votes which make up 20% of UP, Union Minister Salman Khurshid promised 9% reservation for them. He was cautioned by the Election Commission but, in an example of extreme bad manners, another Union Minister, Beni Prasad Verma repeated the shameless attempt at bribery and then challenged the Election Commission to punish him. Guess what? The voters of UP did exactly that. Salman Khurshid's Lok Sabha constituency elects 5 members to the UP assembly and Congress lost all 5. His wife Louise Khurshid, came fifth and lost her deposit. Verma's constituency also has 5 assembly seats and Congress lost all 5. And so it goes. Sriprakash Jaiswal lost 9 out of 10, Jitin Prasad lost 5 of 5, RPN Singh did better in losing just 5 of 7, PK Jain Aditya lost 5 of 5, Md Azharuddin 5 of 5, Raj Babbar 5 of 5, PL Punia 5 of 5, and Annu Tandon 6of 6. Even The Family lost 8 out of 10 in Amethi and Rae Bareli and some members were apparently booed but the freeloading press suppressed all such news. Couple of years ago Gujjars in Rajasthan fought pitched battles to get OBC status. They were opposed by the Meenas who do not want to share their unfair advantage that they do not deserve. The policy of reservation is an evil designed to win votes by dividing the people. The British were masters at this game. Sadly our scoundrels are following policies of conquest practiced by barbaric invaders. After all Nehru always considered himself to be an Englishman.
