The
slogan of Mr. Paswan to include upper caste
people in the reserve category seems to be a
ploy to muster votes similar to what Mayawati
did in the Utter Pradesh. The upper caste people
in UP wanted to have their say in ruling the
government and they cajoled the lady by voting
for her. Of course, she is the head of the
government but look who runs the machinery. Such
a politics is abusive and casts aspersions on
the motives of the promoter. It should never be
practiced in a democratic society. As far as
reservation is concerned, it should be abolished
completely. However, a paradigm should be
established to help the needy people
irrespective of their caste and creed in all
walks of life. Actually, to form a new society
in Bihar, Mr. Paswan could be a voice for
change. He could promise good educational
opportunities and fairness to bring parity, not
another cumbersome and unworkable plan. The
omnipresence of crime, favouritism, bribery and
theft in office are some of the malaise of our
society. Uproot them first before talking about
the progress of Bihar.

Our politicians seem to be unable to
think beyond reservation. What has
reservation done for SC/ST in 60
years or for that matter anybody.
Just think about it, reservation
supposedly is a crutch provided to
the weaker section of society so
that they become strong enough to be
able to stand on their own feet and
thereby not need this reservation
crutch in future. It was for a
reason that provision of its review
every ten year was promulgated in
the constitution. In 60 years not
even a single community has gotten
the benefit and declared itself
strong enough to stand on its own.
Quite contrary to that more and more
community have been added to this
crutch-need group. Moral of the
story, this tool is not working.
Think of something else you
intellectually bankrupt politicos.
Open dedicated schools for weaker
section and religiously look for the
progress report of these institutes
every year. Everything else will
fall in place.
PS: In my village that comprises of
at least 25% of SC/ST population am
yet to see even a single beneficiary
of this 60 year old reservation
crutch. - Dr Anil Kumar - Nov.

Just another political opportunism
on the part of Paswan and nothing
else. - Satya - Nov. 21, 2007
Caste system has crippled our
society from years. It has been
beautifully preserved by our
politicians in order to survive.
When ever they realise that they
need fresh issue to survives in
politics , they come out with caste
agenda. It is a high time that
people of all class to come forward
and let the politicians know that
they are not going to survive on the
basis of caste politics. It is a
high time to abolish these things in
order to grow Bihar and India.
Help in education should be provided
to poor people. Government must help
the families who are not able to
support their children for education
and force them for child labour.
Government should help them to learn
'how to fish rather than to give a
fish'.
Help and reservation should be
provided not on the basis of caste
but on the basis of financial
position. One poor family should be
given one or two coupon which they
can use for only up to 2 children in
applying for reservation. -
