hum tumse na kuch keh paayein



Perhaps these words would have come in the minds of the backbenchers in the parliament who were feeling that the reservation in the parliament will leave very less hope for them in the next general election. Democracy has over all became the number game. Even the Father of the nation Gandhiji criticised the democracy by telling that majority rules over minority. 51% people rules over 49 % people. This thing is quite visible in the Parliament too. The political parties who talk louder that they want the equality everywhere is just making a rift in the society. the empowerment does not come only by reservation. There were no reservation in the highest educational institutions like JNU and DU. But the recent admissions show their supremacy and higher number of strengths in some of the important courses. How did this happen?
Politics have always taken the attention of the common man in the Indian society. It has been a matter of discussion in the majority of the households in the country. They still feel that they are mere spectators in this episode.
the division of the society is still on. Earlier it was SC/ST reservation, then came the OBC reservation and now women reservation.Bhai ye desh to aarakshan pad tiki hui hai. Political parties right now know one thing that if you want to make the people forget their problems just find out the numbers of the community and talk about the reservation. people will forget poverty, hunger, unemployment etc. It is just a wait and watch situation. As the majority of the population of this country is below 30 years of age, they will either thank or curse their ascribed status because meritocracy is leaving its significance.
