The proposed reservations for OBCs are a welcome move to give justice to them.

8226; Arjun Singh is not keeping well and PM we know is 8216;8216;weak and infirm8217;8217; 8216;Eyes closed, this Arjun shoots from the hip8217;, April 9. It is the right time to pass a parliamentary resolution that all MPs and crown princes of parties be treated by a specially constituted panel of doctors who have all been selected on the basis of reservations, with the least qualifying marks. No MP or their family member would be allowed to travel outside or consult a doctor from general categories. After all, it is the prime duty of our MPs to instill a feeling of confidence in the hearts of these communities who have been 8216;8216;ill-treated8217;8217;.

8226; The proposed reservations for OBCs are a welcome move to give justice to them. As it is these IITs and IIMs are only producing job seekers who get fat pay packages in India and abroad. I request our government to now exempt SC/STs, OBCs and all minority communities from paying taxes. There should be reservations in our security, armed forces also. Moreover, there should be special protection for SC/STs, OBCs and minorities from corruption and other petty crimes. They should be dealt with very leniently for crimes committed. This way we can further divide our country, and proudly say we have unity in diversity.

8226; When the world8217;s looking at the 20th Century as India8217;s Century, our idiot politicians are doing everything to hold us back 8216;Devaluing education with quota politics8217;, April 9. I live and work in the US and have been deeply affected by the culture which encourages, embraces the best talent in India. I am worried about our next generation, who might have to see incompetent people taking the jobs they deserved.

8226; I want to put forward another viewpoint on the whole issue. How would the OBCs be feeling right now? When such a move is made, much to the chagrin of the larger population, what message is given? Isn8217;t the minister actually hammering in to the OBC population that you are different from us, you need to be segregated and be given free lunches as you are incapable of performing only on merit?

8226; We should conduct a survey at all Indian universities and institutions which allocate 50 per cent of their seats to SC/ST/OBCs to find out how many students from the reserved categories topped their courses. If the idea of reservation is really successful, then the students from these categories who scored lesser than their classmates from the non-reserved categories at the entrance examination must perform at par with them during graduation. If not, then what was the use of reservation?

8226; Why can8217;t the politicians reserve 50 per cent of the 543 seats in Parliament for the Backward castes, as a first step? Why can8217;t the media advocate that Arjun Singh resign his position for an OBC MP?

8226; Around 250 press photographers were present to cover the Lakme Fashion Week 8216;The State of undress8217;, April 9. Please let me know how many press reporters are going to cover suicides of farmers in Maharashtra.

8226; The wardrobe malfunction at a recent fashion show attracted a lot of media attention. There were other instances of the same kind. Notwithstanding any explanation, the fact remains that such 8216;8216;accidents8217;8217; happen exclusively with female models, even outside India. Is not this too much of a coincidence?
