The SC verdict on OBC quota issue on delaying it is a strong populist action taken by the court. Dear CJI, we salute your passion to uphold the value of equality enshrined in our constitution.

One of the most impressive comments on the subject is from a guy, who claims to be an OBC yet opposed to the reservation bill. His comments on a Rediff Discussion Board, in a way showcases the fact that the caste politics is not supported by any castes.

.. that with over 90% of Hindus being called ‘Backward’, we still play by the rules set 1000s of years ago on a different context. It’s a free world, U don’t like caste system, then start a new religious belief or reform Hinduism by litigation! If u don’t like Hinduism at all, convert to a religion of ur choice or call urself an atheist! No business (except politicians) asks u which religion/ caste u r from (I have been in business for a fair amount of time). I frankly, don’t see how reservation will help root out 1000 of years of ’social inequalities’. It’s plain crap! It has to come internally and it applies from Brahmins and other FCs to SCs and STs including the OBCs…

I belong to an ‘Other backward caste’ and I have many FC friends, including many Brahmins. Knowing them, I can tell u many of the ‘Brahmins’ I know are nearly atheistic and I am more religious then them! For a fact, they never asked my caste before forming deep friendship with me. One of them has married a girl from a caste which even my parents would scoff at! And yes, none of this came about by reservation or governmental involvement. It was just plain education (friendship at school level btw!, so dont bring the crap of reservation in higher studies)

Anyways, future is’nt promising with such backwards thoughts running all through!

Luv
Inflamed Backward guy

Bravo…..Fight up people and serve the cause of eternal truth of equality and unification
