The Great Indian Reservation Drama

The monster of reservation has taken the centre stage again, this time around gujjar people are protesting. They are blocking highways, burning buses, damaging rail tracks and even killing people!! Why? because they want goverment to grant them SC status!! They are already OBC but they want to be shifted to SC/ST status so that they can get more benefits.

I was just amazed at the intensity of the protest, sometime back YFE also staged protest against reservation but they were peaceful, they did not disrupt life and as a result goverment did'nt really notice them. This time around gujjar people who are mainly illetrate are staging the protest and look at their intensity, the whole state of rajasthan is in turmoil. The whole government has been shaken and nobody knows when things would return to normal.

Gandhian principle dont really hold any more(I cannot understand how he managed to liberate India using non-voilence, maybe his role is overrated?), if you want something, peaceful protest will do no good. If your protest does not disrupt people's life the chances are you will go unnoticed. YFE people made human chains, went on hunger strike etc. etc. and what happened? The goverment hurried and passed the reservation bill.

So YFE people take out your weapons, block roads , burn buses and demand goverment to reverse the reservation bill, but there is only one little problem, this kind of stuff requires lack of rational thinking, lack of education and lack of intelligence and the student community is far too educated and intelligent to engage into such kind of behavior.
