"Reserved" musings!!

There's a lot of gaga-gugu and whatnot going after the reservation issue. And determined not to be left behind in canvassing my own viewpoints, when half the world has woken up to anti-reservation slogans, I am now going to make a humble effort to join the bandwagon.
Reservation. I heard the word first, when I was half as high as the lower bogey seats in the 2nd AC sleeper class train. It seemed like a magic word then. As soon as people heard the word "reservation", seats got vacated and my family and me traveled in divine luxury. And for long I was a devout follower of "reservation". Ahem.
Today however, the divine seems satanic. Of course, this time the reservation refers not to your money-can-buy-and-is-rightly-yours seats in trains, but to the merit-don’t-matter-my-ass seats for the so-called OBC and sc/st class in all fields of life. Well, in most fields of life till now.
Let me first make it clear, I have not pledged any vendetta against the OBC and SC/St people. I have friends belonging to these castes and believe that blood is red in all of us. I have never witnessed any different outlook towards them. People tend to ask me, "what about the sewage cleaners that come to your place, why don’t you invite them and let them sit on your sofa..." and blah blah blah. And here is my answer to them - They aren’t allowed to sit on the sofa, not because they are OBCs but simply, because, being sewage cleaners, they are dirty!! It doesn’t matter whether the fellow is OBC or Brahmin! I remember my mom not letting me into the house after I returned home one fine day covered in mud. And by the way, once they clean up, they aren’t just allowed into the home, but offered tea, prepared along with ours. So take your "oh-they-are-so-poorly-dealt-with" arguments off my face and shove it up your you-know-whats.
What has reservations done to these people? Have they risen? No. Have they done anything for their own community? No. If it has done anything, it has only made them more complacent about getting into the institutes they want, just on the basis of their caste! Who wants to work hard when they are being fed on a silver platter? And I wonder how they even compel themselves to live with the knowledge that the post they have secured has been procured by them not because they were deserving, but because of charity!! And then, politicians claim reservation is to uplift their self-esteem!! Self-esteem my foot.
Yeah yeah, I know the sadistic pro-reservationists (henceforth known as beep-ers) will lament over how our forefathers supposedly mistreated them and stuff. Well, the logic is, at best, laughable. Let me exemplify with some examples using the same logic. My great-great-grandfather was not so good-looking man. Apparently he married a woman who wasn't an object-de-art herself. Since then, our family has always been married into the "lower beauty caste", if you please. And the result "shines" through me. I am one of the best mirror-cracking materials on earth. Now say, my dear beep-ers, should I cry foul over the great-great grandfathers of the beautiful families, that they oppressed my family's beauty by not allowing their beautiful daughter to marry my great great grandfather? Well, you know what? I suddenly have the itch to demand a reservation - If a family has 2 beautiful daughters; one of them has to be married to me!! Huh ****ing crap bullshit beep beep beep logic... Oh, and because people mortality rate is higher in OBCs than their proportion in populations, I have a suggestion. Find some general class people and kill them. Well, it’s bloody righteous according to your "logic".
And what equality are they preaching, huh? I am confident that these beep-ers never believed in "equality". I mean, their fathers seem intelligent right? So to maintain equality of intelligence in the world, did they marry dumb women? I wonder how many of them would acknowledge that either their fathers aren't intelligent, or their mothers are insane!! Catch-22?
Friends, nature has never supported equality. If it were so, there would be no Everest and no pacific ocean. Everywhere would be one flat land. Someone following science of universe, would readily corroborate the fact that universe happened due to in homogeneity, i.e. inequality. The million species of living organisms are all unique. Can an elephant challenge a deer in a long jump contest? And can a dear challenge the elephant in a tree-smashing contest? No!! The reality is, people are different. Their intelligence levels differ and so do their strong and weak points. Remember, only inequality leads to dynamism. Equality creates stagnancy. So why do you want to make everyone equal? It’s a worthless and fruitless activity. Instead, help people develop their strengths, but don’t crush others to make their weaknesses seem less significant. The OBCs and the SC/Sts are backward, not because of their caste, but because of complacency and the lack of risk taking abilities. How many of them actually risk their everything in setting up businesses? How many of them have made an effort to work their way up form scratch, like Karsanbhai Patel or Dhirubhai Ambani? None!! Unless you take the risk of leaving one step off a ladder, how can you expect to reach the higher one? And why push someone who doesn’t make much effort himself? And why pull down someone who is trying his best to reach the top? Bloody insane ***ing beep-ers
The right to equality has been misunderstood. Its not just about giving equal opportunities, it’s about giving equal opportunities provided they are justified, or rather, deserving. The simple way out is remove the caste questions out of any form!! Then select people on basis of merit. Who will cry prejudice then?
I think reservation has been an ace for vote-banks. It would be a shame if we witnessed another hike in reservations this time. Its high time we all rose to the cause and voice our support against reservations. Amen. And to the beep-ers - get a ***ing new livelihood, you *****#@@#$&@!##s beep beep beep...!!
Cheers!!!
