THE STORY OF RESERVATION

THE RECENT HYPE BY MEDIA, ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YFE IS MISGUIDING THE YOUTH AND IS MADE TO BELIEVE THAT CASTE BASED RESERVATION IS GREATEST THREAT TO THEM.

They aren't made aware of actual reality about various quotas.
Instead of the thing that the BASIC PRICIPLE OF RESERVATION is objectionable. Youth seems to have believed that only CASTE BASED RESERVATION is objectionable. They aren't made aware of various aspects of reservation and even different forms of reservation. Even if they are aware, they are blinded by some people and media to make them realize that they are upper castes who aren't benefited by this kind of reservations instead reservation is against them.
They are presented mis-facts about reservation especially SC/ST reservation, packaged in the form of stories like grass hopper and ants.
Actually this way, castiest minds of the society are convincing the youth to follow their own caste lines and integrate them. While most youth anti reservationists raise their voices out of pure jealousy based on caste lines. While the modern youth still boasts about his higher caste pride, they can't take reservation for lower castes. May be because always their caste has been a matter a pride for them and now they are loosing something because of the same. Most anti-reservationists use Internet as medium to raise their voices. Actually you would find Anti-reservation protest most prominent in the virtual world than the real world. This is because most anti-reservationists are people who are enjoying such facilities, belonging to higher section of the society which consists of less than 1% of the population. You would find hundreds of communities on orkut about anti-reservation with thousands of members but you just find some 10 or 20 pro-reservation communities with very few members. The largest pro-reservation community on orkut [which has been the greatest integration medium for anti reservationists] has 120 members. Second one has 10 members and so on. This show the privileges of anti-reservationists. These privileged ones argue about topics like "caste system" and "casteism" in India.

CASTEISM, A FORM OF RACISM. SO WHY TO PRACTICE IT ?

U.N. HAS PLACED CASTEISM IN INDIA AS A "FORM OF RACISM"......SO WHY SO MANY EVEN EDUCATED YOUTH STILL DO NOT WANT TO THROW IT FROM THEIR MENTALITY. RESERVATION ARISED BECAUSE OF CASTEISM AND CAN'T BE IGNORED TILL CASTEISM IS PREVAILENT. SO WHAT ABOUT PROTESTING AGAINST CASTE SYSTEM FIRST? WE SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK AT THE ROOT OF PROBLEM RATHER THAN SHOOTS.
YOUTH ANTI-RESERVATIONISTS SAY SOCIETY IS CHANGED NOW. HAS IT CHANGED OR WE ARE JUST SEEING CASTE SYSTEM TAKING MODERN FORMS. WE CAN NOW SEE ENGLISH MATRIMONIALS EVEN MATRIMONY WEBSITES BASED ON CASTES. THE PEOPLE USING INTERNET REPRESENT OUR MODERN YOUTH. NOW YOU CAN EVEN TAKE EXAMPLE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES. YOU WOULD FIND HUNDREDS OF CASTE BASED COMMUNITIES LIKE "BRAHMANS", "PROUD KSHATRIYAS" ETC WITH MEMBERS IN THOUSANDS SOME LARGEST ONES HAVE SOME 50,000 MEMBERS.
EVEN IN THIS SCENARIO YOU WOULDN'T FIND MANY SC/ST COMMUNITIES. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE LARGEST ONE ON ORKUT WHICH IS INDIRECTLY RELATED TO SC/STs NAMED "AMBEDKAR" HAS 600 MEMBERS. THIS CLEARLY ANSWERS WETHER HIGHER CASTE'S WANT CASTE SYSTEM OR LOWER CASTE'S. THIS SHOWS EXCEPT IN FORM OF QUOTAS, HIGHER CASTES REMAIN THE PROUD BENEFICIARIES OF THE INDIAN CASTE SYSTEM.

LOOK AT SOME OF ABOVE COMMUNITIES ON ORKUT AND READ WHAT SHIT IS BEING DISCUSSED THERE. THE PROUD UPPER CASTE YOUTH HAS LOST ALL SHAME TO WRITE THAT "ONE SHOULD'NT MARRY INTER-CASTE BECAUSE THEY HAVE PURE BLOOD".

SOME OF THIS YOUTH EVEN WHISPER THAT "CONSTITUTION IS AGAINST THEM AND SAYS THEY CAN BE JAILED EVEN THEY JUST SAY CASTE SPECIFIC WORD LIKE CH**AR TO THEM" BUT WHEN IT COMES TO RACISM WHERE THEY ARE VICTIMS OF THEIR COLOUR THEY SAY WORD "BLACK" USED FOR THEM IS HELLISH.

WHY PEOPLE DON'T TREAT CASTEISM LIKE RACISM?
ANSWER MAY BE IN WORDS OF VICTIM AND CULPRIT HERE BUT VICE VERSA THERE.

ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT FACT IS
IN RACISM YOU HAVE DISTINCTIONS OF COLOUR ......BUT IN CASTEISM YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE BIOLOGICAL DISTINCTIONS [ COULOUR ETC ]....... THEY ARE SAME........SAME BLOOD .........SAME TYPE OF HAIR..........SAME HEIGHT ......EVERYTHING SAME.......BUT HE IS JUST BORN IN ANCESTRAL HIERARCHY WHICH HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS DISTINCT BECAUSE THEIR PAST ANCESTORS WERE MADE TO DO A PARTICULAR OCCUPATION.
YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THAT THIS PERSON IS DIFFERENT. BUT YOU CALL HIM A SHUDRA. IN RACISM, ONE MAY NOT LOOK LIKE HIS OWN SO HE DISCRIMINATES. BUT IN CASTEISM THERE IS NO REASON,EVEN BIOLOGICALLY [ALSO SOCIALLY IF HE DOES'NT PROCLAIM HIS LOWCASTE] TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN HIM. EVEN CULTURALLY ALSO THERE IS MORE THAN 80 % RESEMBLANCE. RATHER, THERE ARE MORE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT HINDUS OF DIFFERENT REGIONS THAN DIFFERENT CASTES. DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN DIFFERRENT CASTES HAS BECOME SO PREVAILENT THAT IT IS FOUND EVEN IN NRI HINDUS.
