It is official.
Arjun Singh has announced that he’s moving ahead with the Grand Project to Slaughter the IITs and IIMs.
Competition to secure admission to the IITs and IIMs is set to hot up, as reservation in these institutions is likely to increase from the current level of 22.5% to a maximum of 49.5%. The reservation cap in central government jobs stands at 49.5% in the post-Mandal era and this could act as a ceiling for reservations in these educational institutions as well.
Arjun Singh had earlier tried to spoke the IIM (Bangalore) brand but abandoned it for God knows what reason. But he has now fallen back to the 70s’-style of Congress politics: appease, divide and rule, and kick the Constitution around to perpetuate power. State-meddling with the IIM seems to be a recent phenomenon especially notable in the post-liberalization era.
Now, allow me to digress awhile to trace the historical roots of this issue.
The Indian establishment was essentially Statist for most of the post-Independence period. Which meant that acts of (personal) Will were imposed by the dispensation current then (read: the Congress party). These acts of Will were in turn, ostensibly based on what is a vulgar cliche now: Social Justice aka Reservations.
The Indian State used this rhetoric initially in the universities (and elsewhere but that’s not the subject of this entry). No doubt Reservations were meant well but in practice, they transmogrified into mere excuses for crass cronyism. One look at the state of our universities today provides living proof of this. And now, because there’s nothing left of the universities to destroy, the political class has turned to dip its dirty nose into what are perhaps the very few institutions of merit in India. The excuse is the same again: Social Justice.
I don’t need to spell out what this means. From the Economic Times article I linked:
…this would mean that while students of the reserved categories can look forward to a higher number of seats, others may need to burn the proverbial midnight oil longer to secure admission.
This is not an argument to discriminate against deserving but un/underprivileged students. Rather, the thrust is against fostering the same tendencies which has caused much ruin to the country as a whole: a system not based on merit. How underprivileged or backward is a Mayawati or Lalu and all their family/relatives? These are people who got elected on the ostensible promise of uplifting their truly unfortunate bretheren. I struck up a chat with one UP guy who owns a paan shop. He told me he was a Brahmin and that his brother is an MLA back home, elected from (surprise?!) Mayawati’s party. He added that Brahmins are slowly voting for her abandoning the “elite/brahmin” BJP. She who routinely bashes the Manuvaadis. What this brand of Social Justice should be called is anybody’s guess.
Returning to the post-liberalization thread, Murli Manohar Joshi had set in motion a similar meddling exercise but Arjun Singh’s move will prove far more damaging than Joshi’s. The reason for messing around with institutions like the IITs and IIMs is not far to seek: everybody wants a cut in the suddenly-prosperous India and what better places to put political cronies than these institutes of excellence (we might soon be talking of “excellence” in the past tense)? With just the right setting and political pressure, the IIMs/IITs will soon turn out Like the Public Sector White Elephants which continue to suck up taxpayer money.
Well, I might be exaggerating but the gory scenario I worded out has every chance of becoming reality: the manner in which this is done is entirely consistent with yet another filthy legacy of the Congress party: subverting the Constitution to achieve personal/political gains:
The constitutional amendment route was taken following the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Inamdar case, where the apex court ruled that the government could not set quotas in private institutions.
And at what speed!
Sources said the minister has requested the states to formulate the laws at the earliest, presumably ahead of admissions for the ‘06-07 academic session.
Such haste err.. efficiency is unheard of given the way the government functions in India. One wonders why this efficiency is not applied to other areas, for example, the Golden Quadrilateral project which lies in anguish. Obviously, projects like GQ are meant for the evil rich who want better roads for their high-speed swanky cars and the current dispensation’s manifest poll manifesto was… what was the thing about aam aadmi?
Quotas, not merit helps the nation achieve Social Justice.
Instead of all this nonsense of subversion etc, I propose a simple solution which will enable everybody to study at the IITs and IIMs: convert/declare yourself backward. Better still, obtain a certificate from the government that declares you so. It’s available for a price.

Worthless!!! Utterly worthless politicians. Does quota on the basis of caste make sense today or does it make sense to have a quote for the lower income groups. Come On Arjun! speak up …did u promise any of your “campaign money suppliers” put this shit in your head eh? You wanna appease them so your taking the might of the youth of this country eh? Just visit a bloody college next time and we the “youth” will show you what we think of a dirty scoundrel like you

i came to this site by typing arjun sing fuck in google search.
i am glad to see that i am not the only person to do that.In fact when i heard the news that parliment was attacked 1st thought came to my mind was atleast some dirty politician like arjunsing and other criminials would get eliminated.sadly it has not happend.its high time that we indians ourselves have to do some thing to eliminate these people.
i think he just wanted to make some controversy and embrass our PM.he always had an eye on PM’s Chair. now its high time a person like bhgatsing ,or chandra shekar asad come forward and kill this bastard.

It is not Arjun Singh alone, it also includes traitors who have conferred digrees on idiots like “DR. SANJAY DABHADE “. These people specialize in condemning Indian civillization into a war machine of oppression where there was no education, but they would say of an education policy. Education of inading aryans ? What education DR SANJAY ? Does an education involving invading or touring aryans pay such dividends ? We need educated people to talk on education, not Macaulyian bastards from JNU.
Posted on May 26, 2006 at 4:46 PM.
Guys, Arjun Singhs prosper because of DR SANJAY DABHADE. Most likely DR SANJAYA DABHADE would be paid by the govt for teaching ancient Indian knowledge of how ARYANS came to india from germany ( In rare case a quota ). These guys are paid by the congress party, and would create one more arjun singh for their salary, the salary they get is for teaching nothing useful. Wake up to Moles of Arjun Singhs. They are all around.

friends this is too no doubt true that ppl from low caste do need help, but i am sure reservation is NOT the way, i think best is to give them help from basic education and that should be made free, more schools can be opened for only SC/ST people with only SC/ST teacher(create jobs for them). but the point is that how we educated ppl can throw out these bastard polititians who take all of us for a ride.. is it time for a revolt of some sort to throw these old time suckers out of the nation and make a true nation with genuine policies and genuine people supporting govt.

Posted on May 27, 2006 at 9:48 PM.
It was huminity that the reservation was given to backward class as to bring them in general social life. But now they are. They are enjoying all the benifits that not even General Category peoples enjoyes..means Promotion Crieteria,reservation in Gov. Jobs,they are also faciliated by Scholarships…Much many things.. And I am not opposing all these, because its our job to give equal rights to every one. But now they has. Then why Govrnment is raising their quota in higher educational institutes. They have been provided each and every thing , they are now able to pursuie the education by their own. Then why this?
Its Ok that Government help then by providing Scholarships , by affording their education Fees, Books,..all things..But this is Injustice to general category people to take their seats. If you will count total reserved seats, such as Reserved for SC,ST,OBC,Handicapped,Ex Servicemen,Sports Personals,…, then this would be more then 5 %. Means now is a situation that you need to provide reservation to General Category peoples as the ration of available benifits to the population is much more less than those of reserved categories.!!!!
I appreciate that government thinks good for the well fare of Peoples!! (For Only their Vote Bank!!!). Majority of generation in India is young peoples. They are struggling for job, even if they have Qualification they don’t get it. Why bcoz of reservation . Students Studies hard,just make their dreams true…but they are not able to get admission in their desired stream. Why ? Because of reservation. They gets admission even if they are not having enough qualification. My self has experienced this. I had Good Marks to get admission in Medical Line But I wasn’t Why Because Of Reservation. And my friend who comes under reservation category had secured only 65 % but he got admitted in Medical….How one feels at that movement. Then I Sook admission in Engineering in IT Branch. Now I have already completed. But my Class mates who had not even 45 % got admission in IT (One Of the most appreciated Stream of engineering)!!!!!!!!!. Whats all these nonsense is going on. Even they were getting benifits in Hostel-College Fees,Mess, nad ofcourse Scholarships….
I asks to the government specifically Manmohan Singh Our Honourable Prime Minister Who has the Best Qualifications in Country…Is it Fare? Don’t think of Vote Bank but think of Future of Indian Generation.. Will there be Engineers and Doctors who are not even qualified for their Business. And those who are still struggles? This is will not make the India Powerfull Country.!! Will it?.
Now its time to do some thing from our part. I appreciate those who are raising their Voice against Reservation Quota System. My friends ,..Its time to do some thing that not history has seen ever and nor Future will see ever. We are here to change India,we are here to change the world. Now its time to be paly a role in “Rang De Basanti”. I afraids that if this will continue there will be one from us Indians who will play a Role Of Bhagat Singh..
I am with you my friends. We need to change Either the Government Or the Government has to be change itself …..
Don;t stop fight for your rights…untill u get justice….

I am an ordinary UC (as termed by socialists of this country) citizen of this country.
I and my children are being victimized for the alleged sins of my forefathers.
I am being told by poltical parties that my forefathers commited atrocities on public so I request the GOI to submit a detailed chargesheet aginst me with names of my forefatehers and list of crimes commited by my forefathers.
I want to clean ths slate by seeking most severe punishment for the crimes of my forefathers, but at the same time, I seek a promise from GOI that my children will be spared from any further punishment, descrimination and persecution.
I also hope that GOI will stop brandishing my children as UC which has a socialist meaning of criminals.
I appeal to other so called UC brethern to also come forward and clear their conscience and get rid of sins of their forefathers.

This bastard Arjun Singh is pushing this reservation card for his own cause. First, he is number one rival for PM. Second, he want that cheap publicity. Have no love for the OBCs any way. He can not just stand a talk a few relevent lines even on this reservation issue. Look who we all have elected to lead us.

Kids born to SC/ST mothers may get quota benefit
NEW DELHI: Even as the heat generated by the HRD ministry’s decision on quota extension shows no sign of abating, yet another ministry is finalising a blueprint that may have far-reaching consequences on quota politics.
The social justice and empowerment ministry wants to grant the status of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes to children who have a non-SC/ST father but a mother who belongs to SC/ST category. At present, the father’s caste determines the caste of the children since Indian society is largely patriarchal.
Confirming the move, a senior ministry official said, “A proposal to this effect will be placed before the Cabinet for approval shortly. It will allow the child of a non-SC/ST father and SC/ST mother to claim all quota benefits, specially allowances.
Though no survey has been undertaken yet to ascertain the number of such cases, demands for granting quota status for progeny of such parents have come in often. Hence, the decision.”
The decision will also be applicable to those children whose mothers belong to the ST or OBC category once the government gives the go-ahead. “The legislative department is working out the modalities,” the ministry official added.
Though the move is likely to ignite fresh controversy, the ministry is going ahead with the plan. This, despite the fact that the Supreme Court in a recent judgment clearly stated that no person who is not an SC/ST by birth will be deemed a member of SC/ST merely because he or she marries a person belonging to the SC/ST.
Asked how the ministry would get around this roadblock, additional secretary, ministry of social justice and empowerment, Sandip Khanna said, “It has been agreed in principle to prepare a road map to extend benefits to those children who are not SC by birth.
There are several factors involved in the issue and it is being examined threadbare before being sent to the cabinet for approval. The legal view is also being ascertained because of the Supreme Court decision. The ministry is trying to evolve a consensus on the issue.”

I came across this blog by chance when I was searching about the reservation in google.You know , the audacity of politicians and the justification for the moronic and criminal acts of the fucking politicians by these fucking obc’s who know a little bit of computers just fucking amazes me.This is an open message to all these obc/sc/st pig faced shit eating bastards - who the fuck oppressed you? how were you opressed? who in your immediate family was opressed? Mothafuckers dont hide behind the totall baseless veil of opression - the opression endede eons ago!! bastards what were you doing for all this time?? eating shit?? the jews were opressed , did they ask for reservation? today they control 90% of the financial markets in the US . True talent and genius rises up in the face of adversity and poverty , but motherfukers your brains are not at all developed to handle that , you dont see that fact coz you fuking beggars are used to getting thgings handed out to them. Name one person from your class who made it big in any field after having reservations for 80 years.can you? I dont think so.You bastards come up every day begging for more and more but what did you do with the reservation we already gave you? stuffed it down your ass? If I see one more of you motherfuckers talking about how your family was opressed and shit , I will personally hunt you down and make your life so ..you will be wishing you had stayed opressed you bastards.That fuucking Ambedkar nigger got away - but Arjun sinmgh wont ..My troops wil first shove a red hot poker up his ass and then shove a pineapple to seal the deal.Just remember if you piss any of us more ..all of India will rape your mothers and sisters in your houses and make you buy condoms when they are plugging your sisters ass.Shut da fuck up you shit eating fucking beggars ..tumhare maa ke bhosde mein khatiya litake tumhari behne ko chodunga ..aur doctor dabhade teri toh ..madarchod apni bak bak bundh kar nahi tojh gaand mein aisi sui daloonga ke woh jo shingdaane jaisa lavda hai tera kabhi jindagi mein khada nahi rahega madarchod ki aulad ..

The Supreme Court in India and judges in India are fucking corrrupt. They cannot solve the problems of reservation. These BLACK MUSKETTEERS have been a useless lot.
Eating taxpayers money and not solving cases. They know to go against the activists, however they do not have a verdict in hand.
Supreme court judges should be lined up and shot dead. They know to pass the verdict against some small time criminal but not a single politician has been covicted till date.
