Reservation Policy of India makes me rethink, Is India a Secular Country ?

Hello all..!

Today I am going to give my personal opinion on Reservation Policy of India. (Please take some time to give your opinion on this issue, you will get the link to Facebook Questions at the end of the post.)

If you are an Indian, you must have read in class 7th in Social Studies, that India is a Secular Country.

And if you are not then too You must have heard of it.

In a Secular Country it is expected that every citizen gets equal rights.

Our country claims that it is a secular country but when I try to think the other way then sorry I don't think the same.

I am going to give you an example.

You are in class 12th (higher secondary education). You are too good in studies  and eager to become a doctor.

And you have a friend who is also a classmate of yours, who is an average or below average in studies. You both have many things in common.

You are best friends.

You both have your own owned house, you both are neighbors. You both have got equal respect and other things in life.

And when exam results comes you scored 92% marks, and your friend just 51% marks.

And You do not get admission in Medical college even at self financed college and your friend gets admission in Medical college that too at Government financed.

Thanks to the Reservation Policy of India, that did a great justice to your hardwork.

The only difference between you and your friend was that he belonged to a reserved caste like ST (Social Tribe).

Your dream is churned out and the one who didn't have thought to be a doctor just becomes a doctor because he got admission.

Is this a justice ? Will you still think the same ? Is India a Secular Country ??

Every day thousands of millions of dreams are churned away by this reservation system of our country.

Many undeserving candidates enjoy the benefits at the same time.

I always wonder what these doctors and engineers who are not that qualified will give to our society.

They might even take life's of people as they do not qualify to the dignity honored.

Think a student who somehow passes the exams becomes a civil engineer because he belongs to certain reserved caste, followed by he gets a job in government as construction engineer again because he belongs to certain caste.

He never studied hard because he was assured that he has pool of opportunities as he will get out as reserved candidate.

He has insufficient knowledge. And then he gets a job and then he works on major projects.

This Engineer will construct bridges, airports, grounds like Commonwealth games, Who knows he may also construct a Nuclear power station. I fear these are bound to have some problems or errors. This may kill masses.

I am not sure where this reservation policy will lead us. 

Ohhh the other side, what about the open caste students, job seekers ?

To be a good doctor, engineer from a reputed institute becomes too hard or just a dream. Getting a government job is next to impossible to them. Thanks to our Great Reservation Policy.

There are many many people who belong to open castes, who are very poor. Who do not get right education, right job. At the same time there are many many people from other castes, Who are rich, have everything in there life, they are no more socially out-casted. Still they eat up these poor open castes candidates seats. Though open caste candidate may have scored higher, though they are more talented, though they are comparatively poor and have faced more social concerns then these reserved castes. The reserved caste candidates get that seat which the other guy actually deserves.

After Independence the social status of reserved castes is increased, there is no more discriminations between people based on castes in most of states of India.

But still we have this Reservation policy, which indeed is creating discrimination.

So this is high time we need to revise this  Non-secular reservation policy.

Today's Reservation Policy secures above 50% of seats to the candidates from SC, ST, And other backward castes (OBC) which is even against the Mondal Commissions suggestion that Reservation should not be above 50%, And this reservation policy was framed by Mondal Commission only. Also the government itself is confused with the term, "OBC" (Other Backward Castes)

I am in an opinion that this caste based Reservation policy should be taken back to its fullest.

And there should be no reservation policy. 

This will give equal justice, rights to all the people.

Let there be a healthy competition, may the best win.

Let there be no reservation, Let there be no discriminations.

This will make India a truly SECULAR country.

And then Every Indian will be truly proud of being an INDIAN.

March Against Corruption to inact LOKPAL.

Dear All.

We are facing extensive corruptions in our country and here is a ray of hope for all of us.

Kindly go through the article and be part of this Change Movement.

This 30th January 2011, Lakhs of people will take to streets of India to demand effective anti‐corruption law. Aravind Kejriwal, J M Lyngdoh, Swami Agnivesh, Kiran Bedi, Anna Hazare, Prashant Bhushan, Vincent M Concessao Archbishop of Delhi and others will march from Ramlila Grounds to Jantar Mantar on 30th January, the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, at 1 pm to demand enactment of a law to set up an effective anti‐corruption body called Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayukta in each state (the existing Lokayukta Acts are weak and ineffective).

 How will the Lokpal Bill drafted by citizens help curb corruption?

Existing System	System Proposed by civil society
No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before starting investigation or initiating prosecution in any case, they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated.	Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician without needing anyone’s permission. Investigation should be completed within 1 year and  trial to get over in next 1 year. Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented.	Lokpal and Lokayukta will have  complete powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges	Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have  powers to investigate and prosecute any judge without needing anyone’s permission.
Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaint	Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to enquire into and hear every complain
There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these agencies	All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent. After completion of investigation, all case  records shall be open to public.  Complaint against any  staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced within two months.
Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies.	Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent and public participatory process
Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut.	Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guiltyofficer and award that amount as compensation to the Aggrieved citizen.
Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.	Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused
Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years.	Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment

Want to know more ?? Here is the whole draft, you can go through http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/doc/civil_society_s_lokpal_bil.pdf

Kiran Bedi, Justice Santosh Hegde, Prashant Bhushan, J M Lyngdoh and others have drafted this Bill. A nationwide movement called “India Against Corruption” has been started by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Swami Ramdev, Swami Agnivesh, Vincent M Concessao Archbishop of Delhi, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal, Anna Hazare, Devinder Sharma, Sunita Godara, Mallika Sarabhai and many others to persuade government to enact this Bill.

Mrs Sonia Gandhi recently announced that Lokpal would be set up. However, the Lokpal suggested by the government is only a showpiece. It will have jurisdiction over politicians but not bureaucrats, as if politicians and bureaucrats indulge in corruption separately. And the most interesting part is that like other anti‐corruption bodies in our country, the government is making Lokpal also an advisory body. So, Lokpal will recommend to the government to prosecute its ministers. Will any prime minister have the political courage to do that?

Please participate in large numbers in this march to persuade the government to enact the Bill drafted by the people.

Can India turn around?

There was much worse corruption in Hong Kong in 1970s than we have in India today. Collusion between police and mafia increased and crime rate went up. Lakhs of people came on the streets. As a result, the government had to set up an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), which was given complete powers. In the first instance, ICAC sacked 119 out of 180 police officers. This sent a strong message to the bureaucracy that corruption would not be tolerated. Today, Hong Kong has one of the most honest governance machinery.

India can also turn around if we also had similar anti‐corruption body. Hong Kong government enacted ICAC Bill because lakhs of people came on streets.

This walk is being held across India. For details about walk in your city, pls see http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/ Join  march on 30th January in your town.

You can also discuss about the same with thousand other same minded people at http://www.facebook.com/IndiACor?v=wall

Spread this in  anyways you can, reach more people and be there on 30th January on Streets to support the cause.

Best Regards,

Navneet Singh Chauhan.

Akshaya Patra- Assuring food for every school going kid.

Hi.



I am feeling so good for this..! I have just sponsored food for 50 School going students through Akshaya Patra.

There can't be a better feeling in the world then this, when you donate something for a cause as big as this one.

You feel so good when your hard earned money goes for a noble cause, that too which assures prosperity and growth of someone else.

When your money can feed a kid who just would perhaps have not gone to school if someone like you have not sponsored for his food.

Yes, until one's stomach is not feed one can't imagine of education, and when food is assured, you can have a dream to be educated.

This is a story of millions of people in India, who could not get ample food and hence they are restrained from education.

Akshaya Patra is a small step towards the prosperity of millions of poor people.

The only way of coming out of vicious circle of poverty is education.

You will perhaps consider education as a basic need of human being but certain unfortunates can't have education just because they could not feed their stomaches.

Many people loose education because of extreme cases of poverty, many are dropped out from schools for this every year.

Many leave schools, because their family could not sustain their education cost.

Many have to leave school just because they have to feed their family somehow.

Though in India, education is Free in government sponsored schools, many are dropped out or could not even reach school because of education related other expenses like Food, Uniform cost, books cost etc.

But there are many ray of hopes who are living for this social cause.

Few of them are as listed below

1. Akshaya Patra - It sponsors food for school going students.

2. Give India - It tries to collect donation for almost every cause.

3. Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan - for achievement of Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE).

4.  Nanhi Kali -  Issues concerning the Girl Child.

5. Project Crayons -underprivileged and physically challenged orphan children

6. Nischay Girls School -  Education of under privileged girls

7. SARD - Society For All Round Development - Empowerment of minorities

8.  Deepalaya -  Education for children and economically deprived.

9. Anjani Foundation -  Causes of the needy, Poverty and Hunger Issues.

10. The Akanksha Foundation - Less privileged children.

These are few of the many NGO's of India, working for noble cause, I have listed few big names only, which have their own running websites so that one can go through each of them for more information and donations.

Let me talk about Akshaya Patra today.

Hey..! This Video tells most of About Akshaya Patra Story, I insist you to watch.

Akshaya Patra is now more then 10 years older organization.

It has now its presence in over 8 states of India.

And it assures food for nearly 1,253,266 everyday and numbers increasing day by day.

As people like you and me donate for such a noble cause.

I insist you to Donate whatever you can for this social Cause, You may Donate Your Valuable money for such a big cause by clicking here.

You money will go for noble cause of development of Humanity.

I insist everyone to donate for humanity for any of the social responsible organizations they find apt or i have listed.

You will have a better feeling after donations, as you could see the smile on some others face.

With these word i like to end up..!

"A Rain is not called rain, unless it rains equally on every head,

 A Smile is not a smile, if it is not equally distributed on everyone's face"

Thank You...!

Best Regards,

Navneet Singh Chauhan.
