What if someone gatecrashes your house and demands to sleep with your wife? What if after your resistance he asks to settle the issue by his generous 'just for weekends' offer? What if your neighbors also urge the 'two sides' to negotiate and strike a medium?
What a suffocating thought! Isnt? More than that, I expect a sane man to be appalled by its absurdity. But absurdity is everywhere. It was in Soviet regime and it will be, thanks to Manmohan Singh, in India before we realized it is not impossible.
Manmohan Singh (the helpless man, who is otherwise a genius, is forced to forget his concepts of economics coz the bad people have kidnapped his kids and they want his notes as ransom) has requested the 'socially responsible' corporate sector to 'think over' the issue and suggest an alternative. Suggest or perish! Suggest an alternative cunning enough to afford his party a comfortable next 5 years. Every 5 years, for the next 5 years!
Alas! As if life was not hard enough before this! As if booking a reservation in railways was easy, as if getting a green signal at crossroads was easy, as if anything was easy! As if we haven't had enough of this caste business! Now reservation, in premier institutes, in private companies, in selection, in promotion, in expectation, in reaction against corruption, in every sphere conceivable by any sick swine!
Who all this is for? L R Naik, the only Dalit member of the Mandal Commission, had refused to sign the Mandal recommendations. And read this - Quota for OBCs in higher education?
First of all it is a non-issue, like banning smoking on screen or banning dance bars in Mumbai. Creating an issue of a non-issue is a corruption of thought. Our politicians have convinced us that they are incapable of anything better than caste and vote based politics. Expecting vision and leadership from these jokers is a waste of expectation. They are groping for their roles in modern India after the collapse of system in virtually every field, be it foreign policy, law and order or anything else. Government has completely failed to coordinate infrastructural development with the industrial growth expedited by private sector. Cities look infernally chaotic and villages are apathetically left to their fate. But fortunately, economy is thriving despite them and their unbelievably incompetent ministers and beaurocrats. And they are there to grab the credit.
Secondly, it is NOT negotiable. Just as it was in Socialist Soviet Regime, government is sending homeless people to your house. Why? Because building house takes will and effort, and above all money. And because you are weak. Your consent is incidental to the choice they make. In case you protest, they make it an issue. Now as soon as something is made an issue, you will find people supporting and opposing it despite the merits of the arguments that make a conclusion reasonable. Then you are forced to negotiate and make a compromise that is acceptable to 'both the sides'. And these phonies try to look intellectual and civilized when they say - Baatcheet se hi har samasya ka samadhan ho sakta hai.
Thirdly, are we asking the right questions? Is this right to ask how much quota should be allowed in private sector? Is this not tacitly accepting the corrupt proposition that quota system should be allowed in private sector? Is this not taking the bait? Asking questions is an art. It expresses your assumptions and your values. Does government have any right to do what it is doing? Can government compel us to share our home with other people? Why would anyone build house for?
A person is being penalised not for his sloth but for his enterprise. If a man squanders his money in gambling then he is not made the quarry of governmental policies. On the other hand, if a man saves and invests, employs his resources and applies his skills, he is asked to pay for it. And he is robbed not not only of his eggs, but also of his chicken!
Where is the confusion? Corporate seeks profit and in pursuit of that it indirectly benifits the society. Welfare is not the direct duty of business. It never was. It never can be. Government must remember its rights and obligations. What is the government doing? Why this overlap of duties? How can it outsource its fundamental responsibilities to private sector without conceding its inability to govern?

This reservation is not for dalits, or OBC, or any poor Indian who needs some encouragement to honourably rise in life. It is actually a ploy to reserve power for Congress at center. Dalits are just the means, power is the ends.
God! Save India from her leaders.
