What’s happening in India, are we sleeping?

As if the raise in the 27% quota was not enough, when the “well wishers” of the nation are asking for Muslim quota. Oversight committee chairman Veerapan Moily, plans to change the constitution now, in order to include the quota for his Muslim voters (what you thought is his effort genuine, grow up and wake up!!). Remember in this country, the poor will continue to be poor and deprived and the rich will continue to rake moolahs thanks to the “Politicians of this country” and thanks to educated people like us, who just write articles and send applications to the President. I am proud of “Youth for equality” for at least creating a platform and organization to voice opinion for people like us, who criticize the government while watching the TV and the criticism goes down the abdomen along with the cup of coffee and that’s the end of it all.

Though, Moily mentions that the quota benefits will be extended to only those Muslims who fulfill the criteria of socially and economic backwardness, what will happen in reality is that Muslim irrespective of backgrounds will be benefited at the cost of the real deserving candidates. And mind you the quota extends to not only the educational institutions but the jobs as well. However the issue is not so much of religion but the fact that the real deserving candidates’ dreams get massacred due to the vested interests of our politicians and it is time we Indians – Muslim or Hindus should realize this!!
