Curse of creamy layers

I was totally depressed after reading the news on extending reservations for the ‘so called minorities’ for promotions in government services. How many of you would concede with this development? I opine that it is has to be protested and prevented from becoming a bill.

I have observed blog as a medium to express one’s opinion. However I had not found anything pulling me to write on and convey to the people whom I am in touch with. But this issue of reservation; I have seen it and endured it so much, my lost struggle to get a medical seat in the merit based system for the creamy layer population in which many of us occupy our space in this society, the never ending list of PSC tests attempted by close relatives, the conventional post graduate degree holder friends who have passed the tests in top ranks and still finding themselves unemployed and so on. Now I am well-placed with a satisfying job, but I still feel that, as a true native of the nation, I find myself not enjoying the basic rights and freedom of expression. In our country people find it offensive if one ask them the caste which they belong to. The very same people shout for minority, OBC, OEC reservations and obtain it at any cost. How many of these reserved seats go to the rightful and worthy candidates among the reservation populace? How many have actually strived for it? Braving all the odds the creamy layer students study, they strive, they dream, but still their hard work and dreams get no place in the rat race of the politicians, who simply see the faith and power endowed upon them by the foolish citizens as a means to riches and sustenance of their power.

What have we gained after 60-65 years of independence? Answer yourself after thinking a bit. Have not we forgotten our mother tongue, our true culture? What do we see as the result of a spate of the much touted developments?  Apart from a few sky high buildings and a completely polluted ecology what have we seen so satisfying about our life? The people, the ‘so called majority’ of this country are blinded by the political melodrama and the rest are reaping the seeds which they mindfully sow when it was conducive.

Whatever you may say as secularism, unity in diversity, not welcome.

I strongly feel that we should do something for our generation to have a place in this society. Our politicians talk about minority appeasement, upliftment of backward communities etc. Do they ever ensure that the boons bestowed upon are falling into the right hands? Are they ever bothered about a huge mass of youngsters who are well educated, knowledgeable and worthy of adorning greater roles in the service of this nation, but forced by their country's stupefying policies of caste based reservation systems, which makes them worth of nothing but a few dollars of the multinationals. These politically motivated policies deny their rightful positions in the coveted and cosy government jobs. 

I feel ashamed of our people who enjoy this reservation motivated factionalism brought in to by our very own politicians and the fact that we are happy to accept it and live by it.

There is nothing left to continue this laidback attitude and relax and move with the drift. The majority of this country must unite and those who don’t enjoy the merits of the policies and those who are burdened by it should wake up and pull their socks up and bring the revolution. Gear up and earn your right, which you must have got rightfully, but now get up and earn it.
