“Goregaon” in the last postin should be read “Gurgaon”. Sorry for the error.

TO BABS especialy

The doctor who was flown in to treat late bigwig Pramod Mahajan was an OBC who got to medicine because of Reserved seat. So hope you spread the word to all of your friends who ask that casteist question.

Dear Sir,

While your POV in the police high-handedness could be one possiblity , we must admit that the society is largely becoming anarchic and a police state simultaneously. We have recently seen the police brutality in Goregaon, the magnitude of which was comparably quite high I think. But, anyway my concern is two fold.

1. In a democratic society, does freedom of expression or individual liberty mean a right to cause inconvenience ? is it like the more powerful we are to disrupt normal life the more barganing power we have?

2. Police brutality is a departmental problem or an individual problem ? Do we need more force for mob control or effective strategy. (Btw, I strongly condemn terming the lathi-charge on medicos as Jaliwanabag 2006 and thus denigrating the freedom struggle as well as adding fuel to fire)

Dear Sir,
I am a youth protesting against reservation. I regret that our medical services are getting affected by protests and common man is suffering. But we have no other alternative, as not even a bug is raising in their ears by our peaceful protests. The so called Honerable HRD minister is not even ready to speak to us though he had promised to do so after elections are over. To make them understand the power of youth we have to shake the infrastructure and this is what we are doing.

Now coming to the issue of reservation, let me make it very clear sir that we are not against OBCs or SCs or STs and we also beleave that everybody should get education. But look at the effectiveness of this system.About 90% of reserved seat are idle in even the even the best institutions, while it is total injustice that though they are compitent to fill these free seats just because they belong to general category thay can not come.Also is unjust to give oppertunities to somebody by taking them away from others.

If 59 years of quata can not lift their standards and only 5% took advantage of reservation then how can you assure that 50% reservation will. If even 50% is not enough then will you favour 70%, 80% or 90%.

Thanks and reguards
Simon
