How is it going to do so? The plan is to increase the capacity of the colleges to include the obc studetents, they are not going to reduce the number of general category seats.
it is going to help the ones who really NEED HELP. Some might say, many students who don't deserve to be there might get a chance, but then, whats wrong in helping people who need to be pushed?
Seriously not many bother about the lower caste folks. The upper caste blokes can survive on their own no matter what. I don't know whether it is good or bad that they were born in the upper caste community,
they have got more than what those lower caste folks got all these years.
They have not been gifted with riches from heaven. They are rich because their parents or grandparents struggled and worked really hard. If you want to work hard and save lot of money so that your children and grandchildren can lead a comfortable life, is that bad? There are many people who work more for their family and less for themselves, so if a father wants to work hard to give his children a good comfortable life, I dont think that is very bad.
It is hightime we bridge the gap and give more chance for the ppl in lower caste to stand equal with other caste people.
Btw, once these blokes come up in life, they will have the will to help people from their caste better than the ones from upper caste. Cos they understand their pain more.
It actually sucks to keep typing the word 'caste' for so long. I so want this to be erased from our system 50 years from now. Yes, it is a long way to go.
Khimera beautifully highlighted the term poor, I am also referring to the same group which is economically backward.
I think the only way to counter castism is education, but unfortunately casticism gets in the way of education.
I really think India should push the OBCs and other minorities forward. I want India's history to be written such that the rich and uppercaste have worked hard and even probably sacrificed for their less-priviliged lowercaste brothers and sisters. Such kinds of attitudes make a country great, and it will help both the higher and lower caste in the future.
