Arjun Singh takes another step towards positive discrimination or what is known as affirmative action. The first step being the reservation of those who faced negative discrimination through out ages. This is supposed to be the part of the basic point of democracy, social justice. After implenting this thing, proper reservation for women would have been the next thing. There were protests all around the institute of national interests. Those who always got the chance, for being rich, upper caste and socially powerful tried to reason out that this rule of giving power to poor lower caste subaltern will divide the country more , and caste system should be thought as thing of past which has no effect whatsoever in current India. They made a popular forum called youth for equality, which arranged hunger strike, follwoed by a mass arerst of students. No student died , and moreover there were no cases of injuries either. Hunger strike was a realy one so that no one stays hungry for a long time.
My cousin : " they dont have brains, it is clear form how they perform in all these places. do i have to give my place to an adivasi now."
Tanmay : " tora janish na maal gulo koto gambat, ens-a boshe shobkichui mone hoy onyorokom. " ( you guys dont know how stupid they are, everything looks different when you are sitting here in ens )"
my aunty : " age to gramer jonyo communist party uthe pore legechilo, tai grame grame maddhomiker first boy , ekhon rickshaw wala, dhangor eder jonyo-o lege porlo." ( because of communist party all the villages were doing well in the boards, now even these lower caste people will do well".
another cousin : " good genes ......"
my friend : " i deserve my place, and i cant leave my place for some obc ."
barkha dutt (the dumb intellectual) : "what's the point of all these reservations if there aren't enough qualified people to make use of them?"

Government didn't back up. And it was shame the way they didn't tackle this problem strongly. when a tribal protest by joining Maoist movement, he is termed as terrorist and executed, and when a rich kid of delhi or bloody metro city protests it becomes breaking news, chetan bhagat ( even dan brown writes better than him) asks everyone to attract the television as much as possible. Still no voice from the subaltern.


Facts :
"Sujee Teppal, an adivasi student who topped the Andhra Pradesh common entrance test (EAMCET) for engineering in her category, was keen on a BTech from IIT. At IIT-M, she was asked to take the Preparatory Course route. At the end of it, she was failed in one subject, Physics. (Her Class-XII Maths-Physics-Chemistry average was 94 per cent; she had a centum in Class XI Physics.) After the issue was taken up by the Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam, and the subsequent coverage in the local press - which got interested, typically, after Sujee attempted suicide - and following a directive from the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (dated 8 July 2000), the IIT management tried to cover its tracks, conducted another test for Sujee and other dalits-adivasis who were failed along with her, and cleared some of them for BTech. A much-harassed Sujee has now been assured of direct admission into MTech (without having to clear GATE) by the management. First, you are humiliated; then your silence is bought. Several dalit employees have been similarly gagged. Says an employee denied promotions and increments for his outspoken views, 'The management plays one dalit against another, sometimes showering petty favours on one group, manipulating resistance.' "- this is a news taken from the newspaper , the originality of which is not the responsibility of the author. The author was in Chennai during this incidence, and vividly remembers all those news reports. One of the authors friend was in IITM that time, he was in the preparatory course and he was visibly depressed all the time since he had to face the taunts of the general category students and profs. He had a nickname, mandal commission.
Even if the above news is fabricated to any extent, doesn't mean that nothing comparable to that happens in IIT's. The author is really sorry to find out that it has hurt the victim of this incident, and want to assure her that it is anger not the urge for popularuty made the author write this article. The author understands the sentiment related to it and wants to ask the reader to verify the news after reading.

2. IIT, AIIMS , JU, Shibpur, never produced anyone of highest intellect and wisdom. They might have produced CEO's, but in other part of the world CEO's are the best profession for the college drop outs. In terms or research , IIT's like all the other institutes of national importance fails badly. Then why we support them financially. do we think about India whne we do that ? Is Indians are meant to debug programs or becomnig yes sir type corporate after learning in all these iits and iims ? why dont we ask this simple questions to all these engineers and doctors , what is their contribution to this country or to this world , other than mediocricity and cheap labour offered to the west ? If there is no west to take care of their mediocricity what will happen to them ?

Genderwise, the IITs fare even worse. Sandipan Dep, deputy editor with Outlook: 'What was my IIT education all about? It was about IITians: 400 academically exceptional boys (and 12 girls) on a campus...' The girls come in parenthesis. It's all about boys. Despite all those headlines and reports we have seen for years about girls doing better than boys in Class X, Class XII and other state and central board school exams, it is (mostly caste hindu) boys who have enough 'merit' to enter the IITs. And the few girls who make it must prove themselves male enough. 'From one coast to another, women engineering students have shared their relief on being accepted by the men in engineering as one of the guys' (Sally Hacker 1989, 49).

Some letters responding to the Outlook feature raised the issue of nonrepresentation of women. 'I was horrified to see not a woman mentioned in your entire story. Forget the alumni, even the on-campus photos didn't feature any women. Is your outlook so biased?' Another asked, 'Are all IITians men?' (Outlook 12 June, 2000). According to the news report cited earlier with reference to IIT-Mumbai, '(T)he situation for women students remains dismal, with less than 200 among the almost 3,000 students in the bachelor's and master's programmes. For Dalit girls, things are even more bleak. The first Dalit girls, numbering all of three, were admitted in 1997. Since then, their number has increased by one every year' (Indian Express, Mumbai, 12 June 2000).

One of the few dalit girls doing BTech in Mumbai is says, 'If you are in a coveted department like Computer Science and Engineering, the guys wonder aloud how a woman could get through and if they know you are a cata student, there is an audible 'ohh' which seems to answer their question.' ('Cata student' is caste-hindu IIT lingo for those who make it using affirmative action. In IITs, as in other campuses in our country, dalits tend to be allotted only dalit room-mates; dalits also do not figure in IITs' famed alumni associations.)

In Australia, the settler whites are at least saying 'sorry' to the 'stolen generation'. And an aborigine wins a gold medal in Olympics. In the US, there is a public discourse against racism, though discrimination continues. But 'hindu' India, despite putting in place theoretical guarantees in the constitution, continues to treat its aboriginals most shabbily, and no questions are asked. In the name of 'merit'; in the name of democracy.

Adarsh phashan jahan naaron mein

aur chor bharey darbaron mein

Vahan maut akhlaq ki hai ik khabar baasi

jinhe naaz hai hind par vo kahan hain

jinhe naaz hai vo kahan hain.
