madal part II

hi everyone

a very hot topic of everyone's life in India is (off course apart from regular power cut etc.) proposed hike in the reserved seat’s at IIT’S IIM’s and other Central Uni’s.
Well for the very first and final movement i want to make it clear that i am against any such reservation and that I belong to an OBC caste. although my reason are slightly different than those appearing in media i don't bye those “the Quality of these Institute will deteriorate” or ” the better way is to give them free coaching so that they can make it to IIT’s” or the best one from a student yet to make it to institute “its a known fact that Quota student normally drops out in first or second year wasting a seat”
let me make it very clear that I don't buy this deteriorate business, only if we put a cutoff for reservation this prob. will be solved. It's not the shear Quality of student but the environment as well that makes an IIT Grad the kind of gold he is. And as far as free coaching is concern will any of these outspoken Middle or Upper Middle class parent’s shouting at the top of their voice on this issue, can even think off sending their wards to a free school? They wont we all know. And to the student concerned about the possible waste of seat my only comment is, Kid please first make it to IIT pass your degree and than comment on such things.
during my brief sting at IIT I have seen some of my general friend getting kicked out of IIT and The “Quota” student going to Germany for their project and have faith it was shear Quality of the student which mattered for such selection. i know that its not the general story but to but all in one basket is not proper.

So Why i am against this reservation? well only reason is that this will only ensure a clear cut discrimination between students based on caste no one will ever accept any student from an OBC category to be at their par although the condition will be kind of 50 % reservation For remaining student but such student will always face the burn of mandal II and believe me there is nothing like a humiliating grin from a fellow student.

for my whole academic carrier i never used my OBC Certificate and no don't worry i am not trying to be a saint rather i could never use it because, in Navodayas there was a reservation based on ur location i.e ruler area student, during engg entrance my certificate was not proper (that fool clerk ) and IIT's don't give reservations to OBC (yeah it's a proposal under consideration) so I had to secure 212 rank in GATE to ensure a seat at IIT Roorkee. My first brush with reservation was at ONGC where I had to declare my caste and although they never actually disclosed that where did I stand in that whole list comprising of all kind of students who finally make it to ONGC all I can say is that I never felt les than them in any condition (I won the Quiz of the batch and one of my friend belonging to ST category was declared most creative officer of us all). But the first reaction I got upon joning from a senior was (he is one of the best chemical engineer we have here ) "look, it may have taken a bit less hard work for you to get here but here you have to work at par with general candidate's and no consideration will be done based on your caste " first time in my life I felt as if I was being asked to strip in public. I never asked for reservation and I was student of the institute from which this very organization recruited general student with much lesser GPA than me, but just because seats were reserved for OBC I was an automatic failure an underachiever in need of support from mr arjun singh at every step of life.

I don't want any student to face such kind of bias at such premier institute I am sure that these guys are capable and can make it to IITs and IIM's of their own don't let them down by reserving some seats many of which they will take of their own.

As far as the current hullabaloo is going on TV etc I want to know that do they find the supporter of non-reservation only. Can't they find even a single student who make it to IIT due to reservation and finally made it to some good place? Hey NDTV, Aaj Tak if you can't find any one contact me I have many friend which are success story of category students from such institutes.

And in the end I just want to ask a few daring Q's

Reservation is an unfair advantage Than what would you call a situation where a student is studing at Kota with best of faculty and other one have a BSc third division as his guide unfair isn't it ? and this bias is irrespective of caste I have seen students carrying cell phone but who don't pay even a penny for the fee and student who despite scoring more that 85% in 12^th actually never appeared in Medical exams knowing fully well that they cant finance the course no matter what he do.

if any one is reading,
sorry to bore u with so serious and colourless chat.
