Disclaimer: I am not against the SC/ST/OBCs. I am against the reservations. The reservations is responsible for making them stand out as a different cast from the rest (even now). This review is a reflection of my own personal thoughts and it is not meant to hurt the sentiments of anyone.Disclaimer:%20I%20am%20not%20against%20the%20SC/ST/OBCs.%20I%20am%20ag

Today: The Sun rises from the east and gives a beautiful start to my day. I find myself smiling. I am a software engineer working for the last 3 years with one of the top ten Indian IT companies as per many leading magzines. I get a decent enough package (read less) to fulfill my needs although my needs are growing day by day. Man, there seems to be no problems going around me as I am quite settled in my job. I have my companies bus service which picks me and drops me 5 mins away from my home. I have a 3 bhk flat in Thane and a beautiful girl in my life whom I plan to get married some time in the next 4 to 5 years. My parents are approaching there retirment and my brother is very happy in his current professional course. The sun sets in the west in the evening and again I find myself smiling for me be satisfied with life... Tomorrow: Sun is rising as usual in the east. Im standing here outside the school,waiting for my 10 yr kid. He studies in class 2. Only this year he could get admission into the school. For the last 5 yrs, admissions were closed for the general category students. School bell rings. I can see a lot of happy children coming out of the gate, I waited for half an hour and my kid came at last after other children. General students are not allowed to cross the gate unless other OBC/SC/ST students have crossed the gates. OBC/SC/ST fathers drive away their children in classy cars. But I hv to walk back home with my kid a 5km stretch. I lost my car some years back when Govt. came with a rule that general people have to deposit a tax equal to cost of their cars. Failing which I had to sell the car. As far as buses are concerned, the seats in buses are reserved for OBC/SC/ST. So no place there also. After walking some 5 km in scorching heat I finally reached home.It was wednesday..... sh*t , no electricity.Every mon,wed,thu,sat is power cut in the house of General category population. So that SC/ST/OBC can be uplifted by providing them with every opportunity and in that consideration electricity is an important factor. Its 10:00 pm in night and still no electricity at home. Its very hot inside the four walls of home. So I dare to step out in park with my wife and kid. I seated myself with my family on a secluded bench in garden. Within a couple of mins ... a guard came to us strolling in the park. He asked me what caste you belong to. I said with some hesitation .. G.. G..General. He asked me to pay a fine of Rs.200 and get out of the park. My Fault...The bench I was sitting on was meant for again the SC/ST/OBC. For their upliftment, peace of mind is an essential things. So govt came with this decision to reserve benches for them. Kudos to them... Its early in the morning ...the newspaper wala just knocked the door. I took the newspaper and started reading ..,its independence day. I never used to forget this days some 20 yrs back. My kid hardly knows what 15th august is, because I never told him any stories of greatness of our country or anything related to country. I don't feel like telling him the failures after freedom. On the front page of newspaper, in a corner their is a news about a OBC member getting 6 months imprisonment in ''BAL SUDHAR GRAHA'' from a juvenile court for murdering and raping a six year old girl. Yes the rules have been amended since the last 5 years.The Culprit was a 25 year old OBC so age relaxation was provided for trial of crime.So he was taken to juvenile court, since there is an age relaxation for OBC/SC/ST. About 11 am some one gave me the BAD news about demise of one of my neighbour and friend Mr.Verma. I went to his house for condolence next day,his body was lying there still rotting in the heat. I asked his son about the cremation. His son told me '' Many reserved category have died yesterday so we are not getting entry to cremation ground ''. This rule is the latest from Govt. Where the seats in cremation ground will be reserved for SC/ST/OBC for their upliftment. Finally next day Verma ji was cremated. I could see the sun setting through the Flames burning a liberated Body, liberated from caste n creed. I was surprised sun still sets in the west.? It was about 9 pm , I was about to sleep in my bed my son came to me with innocence in his eyes , inquisitively he asked me the question:''what is reservation?'' How much I wished I could tell him that son even I dont know what it is.... Some heck of a law forced on us..... but just like every good father, I wanted to give him an answer. I asked him where have u listened about that from. He suddenly burst in tears .. I asked him to keep quiet. But I could listen through his sobs ''mujhe bhi reservation chahiye''. How can I convince him its no other toy in the market I can get for him? He kept crying that night ,claiming many of ''his classmates have got reservation''. To make him quiet I said ok ,i'll buy you reservation at your next B'day. HOPE he understands the BLOODY concept soon ... This is not only my but our future...... Can we help ourselves today?????????? Welcoming your queries, concerns and suggestions in the comments segment. <<??SHIKHAR??>>
