Few months back there was a great agitation about the proposed reservations for OBS's in elite institutes like IIT's and IIM's. Because of opposition from almost all sections of society government had to take it back. That time PM had assured the students group that a committee will be formed and decision will be made after the judgement comes.
Now suddenly news comes that the bill is passed in cabinet meeting. It will be braught to Loksabha on the last day of the session so as to avoid long discussion. And finally there will be reserved seats although majority of population is opposing it. Is this we call a democracy ?
I shoud make myself clear here that I'm not against reservations. But I don't agree with the kind of policy that is proposed. We cannot simply go on continuing this if there are no results. Dr. Ambedkar had asked to review it every 10 years and remove totally after at max 20. Now we've completed 60 and we are increasing the percentage and including more and more castes in the list.
Also the reservations in premier institutes of india are totally unacceptable. These are the people we are looking forward to guide our nation. Are we going to give our future in the hands of some people just by looking at their caste ?
I sincerely feel we should all unite and support the protests by AIIMS. It's not just a matter for some doctors and engineers. Its for each and every person of this society. Let us not fall victim to the politicians and their selfish deeds. Let's all protest it our place and show the strength of a united and awakened society.

I think you are being too quick to dismiss reservations in the socalloed elite institutions. Even I am not for the current policy of reservation but I dont see any reason as to why the instts like AIIMS and IITs are treated differently... just to increase the social divide?
