Standing for something
Standing for what you believe in regardless of the odds against you and the pressure that tears up your resistance means courage. We all have to stand for something in life, to follow some principle, to resist a law getting violated, to encourage our comrades, to punish the wrong doers, to lead and make others emulate you in following truth and honesty.
The medical students refusing to accept PM's words are pretty much appreciated. Political parties stir the nation with some idiotic policy that has only one motive - to gain political votes in the election. This strike should go on till our demands are met and we should not compromise on anything but justice. Was amazed by what sarat babu (the person who rose from Chennai slums to being called the food king after passing out from IIMA) had to say. He said reservation helped me get into the IIM in my third attempt, but if not, I would have got into it in my fourth attempt. The reservation helped him precipitate things by a year. Such talented people will always get heard coz they believe in their ability and not on the reservation legacy.27% reservation is too much to give in coz the people who actually enjoy this prize are those who are well off financially, whose parents have the ability to support them on their own. Will these people refrain from using this loophole thereby giving chances for the needy? No chance. Even if you have lots, accept it when somebody else gives you more. The Gujarat government trying to stop the screening of FANAA is again an irresponsible act by the political party. In politics everything is personnel. Aamir khan stood to derive justice to the Narmadha bachao aandolan activists and to the people of Gujarat, but that was against the political view and hence he's opposed. Improper politics will never change no matter what. Whatever it takes by the citizens to filter the errors, will in the end lead to failure of their own democracy.
There is one problem with all of us. We people stand when we have a problem, sit back and stare when the problem gets solved at the same time when others are having the problem. Its at those times where you need to stand up and deliver. We needn't stand for big issues, but lets stand for all the problems we see happening in front of our eyes. Lets follow what our heart has to say after we have listened to what our mind had to say. Stand for what you want you to be.
FedEx stands out for speed and reliability. Mohammad gajni stands out for perseverance and patience. Australia stands out for winning and always winning. Hitler stands out for rising from the ashes to become the greatest hero. Let us stand out not because we dont have a place to sit, but because we want to stand for what we believe in.

There are some facts going well with your arguments. But the whole concept of reservation does not have anything to do with the discrimination. As stated by Dr.Manmohan Singh, the number of seats for OC will remain the same. And it's only for the upliftment of the backward classes. I agree that there are rich culprits who use these loop holes for thier selfish deeds. But consider the community at large!!! The other arguments of quality of work also does not have anything to do with the reservation. Wheather it's medicine or engineering, i do not understand why people say that a student who has scored higher marks only will do the jobs better. In my personal experiances, i have seen students who entered into the college with good marks, struggling to get even a pass mark in the second or third years. And some students who came in the so called discriminating reservations, getting MNC jobs and marks of flying colours. Getting marks alone or analytical skills alone will not do any good. As you have said in your first paragraph, attitude, perseverence and courage makes one comitted. South India is the best example of "organic growth", which was triggered by the reservations in the early 20th century.
Jey,
Well,lets understand one thing here.If the government is seriously concerned about the upliftment of the needy, the place where it needs to concentrate is at the primary and secondary level.Make the fundamental strong.We have enough at the UG level also which is making a need for reservations for the OC's.Do not play at a PG level.It is not cast fight here.Every body is equal as human beings.Political words sways in the air.After so many protests,have they said a word about primary level trainig?If i say that the foundation stone for a multi store building will be built of a weaker stone,but i'll make the ceiling and rooftops with the costliest stone available and make it look amazing.will you buy that house?Change where its essential and not weher its not.I agree about the college and marks fundae here.We are not speaking about the marks here.All am saying is the legacy is actually a legacy for moneyed reservators.All the boastings and brags by political leaders are an eye wash.
