    This is to inform you about the current situation regarding the reservation issue in INDIA


    The facts: Seven hundred medical students, disturbed
    by certain issues, express their desire to meet the
    first citizen of the country, proceed peacefully
    towards the Prime Minister's office, are manhandled,
    tear gassed and brutally assaulted by the law
    enforcers of the city. Some are detained in police
    stations, and some land up in emergency room of
    hospitals seeking treatment for injuries. The PMO
    choses to remain silent. The residents and the
    students join hands and declare strike. The media
    takes the issue in a luke-warm fashion and plays the
    devil's advocate, projecting the striking doctors as
    the root cause of the patients' suffering. Peacefully
    protesting doctors in Mumbai were brutally
    lathicharged infront of the Governor's house. Some
    media channels highlighted the atrocities. The Police
    officials accused the students of damaging property
    and dismissed the issue as minor commotion. Friends,
    welcome to Democrazy!

    Are medical students of the top five medical colleges
    of the country, arguably some of the best brains that
    the country has in the current generation? Is it
    justified to treat them as common men? If yes, then
    like everyone demands their rights and voices their
    opinion in form of strikes, violence and hooliganism,
    so they are justified in their desire to make their
    voice heard. If no, then was the brutal handling of
    the youth justified? Please consider they are not even
    full grown adults. A medical student is only 17 when
    he joins college. What message do you convey to these
    children when you assault them brutally, tear gas them
    or hit them with water canons? And for what objective?

    Is our Prime Minister so unapproachable to the best
    minds of the nation for an issue which concerns them?
    How does the current government then try to identify
    with the masses of the nation? Is our political think
    tank so far away from the common man that to meet the
    PM our students need to face physical and mental
    humiliation? If the medical students are not our
    masses, then who is the common man?

    More than 24 hours have passed after the students
    tried to meet the PM and were chased and beaten away.
    Yet the PM remains silent. No statement has been
    issued by the PM office regarding the issue raised or
    the sad turn of events. Is our Prime Minister,
    incapable, apathetic, indifferent or a mute spectator?
    Does he await orders from other sources, (divine
    intervention) to open his mouth and speak? Like the
    HRD minister, the PMO would probably offer an apology
    for the misbehavior meted out to the students at the
    hands of the law enforcing agencies when the office
    opens on Monday. Has this become a mockery? First you
    slap an individual and then two days later, sweetly
    apologize and then request to forget and forgive. The
    doctors are expected to attend to emergencies on
    weekends, but the PMO has no emergencies. It remains
    silent over the weekend. Of course it is probably a
    matter too trivial to respond on. Or is the PM waiting
    for directives on what he has to say. It is also
    possible that the speechwriter has taken ill and is
    not finding any doctor who will attend to him. The HRD
    Minister had comfortably said that he was unaware that
    students wanted to meet him, and expressed his sorrow
    that police had mistreated them. A similar answer
    could be expected from the PM and the Governor of
    Mumbai. If their information system is so defunct that
    they don't get a message from outside their gates for
    24 hours, what are they sitting in office for and how
    are they managing the entire country?

    The media focuses attention on suffering patients
    outside hospitals. The core issue has largely been
    cold-shouldered. The double standards adopted by the
    media are clearly evident, and they wait to capture
    the most emotional story to catch the prime slot for
    maximum viewership. God forbid if there is mortality
    outside the hospital, be sure that you will catch the
    eventuality on the news channels with the
    sensationalization even before the calamity has
    actually occurred.

    The patient suffering seems to be the sole
    responsibility of the doctors who are on strike. They
    have moral, physical and emotional responsibility of
    all the suffering caused. The silence from the PM
    office is shattering. There is not even a word from
    the Prime Minister. Is he following what has long been
    our foreign policy, `watching the situation closely'?
    Or is this something right out of our gynecology
    textbooks, `watchful expectancy'? This is sheer
    mockery of the highest office in the country.

    Is the faculty of medical colleges and hospitals,
    merely supportive or is willing to become an active
    participant in the whole issue? Where are the nurses,
    and the hospital attendants? What is their role in the
    issue and are they supportive or participant? The pool
    officers, research staff and the residents of Hospital
    administration, are you not doctors? Do you not wish
    to favor or support the reservation agitation? Why is
    there such deafening silence from the IITs, IIMs and
    other intelligentsia of the country? Does the
    reservation issue not affect you or bother you? United
    we stand divided we fall.

    We are creating all the fuss when the certificate for
    your reserved status can be obtained in INR 1000 from
    any government office in Chandigarh as the news
    channels reported. Why don't we all approach such
    agents and get ourselves the certificate and thereby
    become eligible for the reserved quota?

    We are a society that is sitting on a live fuse. Angry
    scuffles have become common following minor road
    accidents and have given birth to the phenomenon of
    `Road Rage'. It will not be a surprise if `Rang de
    Basanti' does not remain a mere movie to be watched in
    theaters, and the PMO has a serious situation to deal
    with if the current one is not serious enough to
    provoke comment.


    If you really feel for your country then spread the word to all Indians you know by forwarding the following msg addressed to the Prime Minister of India





    To,
    The Prime Minister


    I am by birth a rightful citizen of this sovereign democratic country
    whom I call Mother INDIA, the largest democracy in the whole world.
    By the constitution of my country I & my other fellow citizens have
    equal rights but from the last fifty years there had been different
    treatment for different sections of the society. At the time of
    independence there was poverty every where & large section of society
    was underprivileged. At that time Gandhi ji's idea of reservation in
    jobs was alright but continuing it for the last 55 yrs is ridiculous.
    No amount of spoon feeding can make any body independent. You make
    your child to stand on his own feet to walk. You don't give him
    crèches to walk. It is alright to help the down trodden to let them
    stand on their feet, to make them independent by giving them free
    primary or secondary education, giving subsidy in food, clothes,
    giving them loans to establish their own business but making
    reservation in higher education, high profile jobs which one does not
    deserve, is making our own country weak. We already have taken too
    much of time to reach to this level in world order & by these
    policies we may take another fifty years to become super power. These
    wrong policies of the Congress Govt. like license, quota system have
    already taken its toll & by bringing undeserving persons in the
    institutions which we are proud of would bring down the country
    prestige in the world. Some of the short sighted politicians already
    have squandered the country for so long for their personal gains but
    now we are not going to let them do it any more. We are the tax
    payers of the country & this country is ours also. We are already
    paying some amount from our every single penny of hard earned money
    through various taxes & we are ready to pay more even, but there
    should be no more reservations in the job or higher educational
    institutions. Enough is enough. For your own selfish gains you have
    divided the country on caste & religion and now bringing more
    reservations in every sphere of life you are making this divide more
    severe. Our children who are working so hard to reach to a level are
    heart broken when they see some one at that level who does not
    deserve it. Such rude shock some times becomes unbearable & they
    commit suicide or become mental patient. We can't see this any more
    helplessly. I would request the Supreme courts to stop this
    reservation policy & help the country to achieve some dignity &
    status in the world as soon as possible.

      I agree with you indiadoc. I support you. I never supported these stupid reservations. If they had to do reservations why don't they do that in school so that everybody has an equal chance when the grow up.
