SUPREME COURT HAS BRAINS!!!!

so finally, not everyone in india has lost it. supreme court stayed the order for the 27% increase in reservation quota in higher educational institutions, which will, at least for now, prevent it from getting to the ridiculous figure of almost fifty percent reservations. i was so rooting for the person intelligent enough to separate the judiciary from the rest of the politics. in principle. i mean, the stay is completely rational. the supporters of the quota have been going on and on about the so called disparity and all that jazz. it makes perfect sense that they give the required evidence. till now, they have only be creating and acting out the drama. what about some factual and authentic information? if they are just in their cause and think that the situation is worth it to alienate a major chunk of young india, which will happen by the way, then go ahead. education is a big time market and i am sure that the ones who have talent will find their way, in india or outside. it might be, that these reservations become the biggest mistake any government ever committed.

but i was shocked to see that the government wants to take legal action!! against the supreme court!! like where? the international court or something? because out there, such stupidity wont even stand. last i heard, the legislature and judiciary were separate. and thank god for that, otherwise some of the mental retardation so common to politicians would have seeped in the justice granting systems of the worlds. so now government wants to take legal action against supreme court because it has told the government that they cant act like 5 year old delusioned kids and will have to proove their case before they start introducing quotas like maniacs????

thats amazing. makes complete sense too. i mean, i wonder why anyone with a strong case against them would do that. they would just go in the court armed with the arsenal of documents, and proove that they had been fighting for a good cause themselves.

personally, i think if vote bank politics and not rationality backs this decision of the government, they will pay, and pay dearly. most of the medicine students that i know, are preparing for USMLE or some other examination. students know that they have more chances of securing better educational opportunities outside of india than within it. also, if the other category ( the SC/ST of the 21st century) forms the major chunk of young india, then they might have as well started a campaign " others dont belong" or something. i think many students will feel the heat and feel like they dont belong. this is not the atmosphere they want for the india of tomorrow do they?

i dont know what will come out of it. i mean vetoing president is one thing, but acting smart with the supreme court. they might as well declare that democracy is a lie some people invented to keep the rational people in line as they were surely above aristocracy's binding slavery. and they might want to revamp their image as the biggest democracy in the world or whatever such thing the media created.

my only regret is, they didnt raise the reservations upto 90%. that way, i could see all this circus and fiasco in my lifetime.... and see them being put to justice for being so obtuse, and for not respecting their biggest resource, the young human resource. also, not realizing that this might actually create seeds of unrest and bring back the caste system that india had with such difficulty, finally removed. only this time, the bramhins, kshatriyas and viashyas will be the angry underdogs, and a copius amount of angry underdogs at that.

i am a student, an other category students like many of you out there. all i want to say to my peers, others or otherwise, is that merit, truth and hard work stand the test of time. will and conviction to do something is strong enough and that, human determination has the power to restructure this world. we have it already. seats or no seats, find your destiny and dont feel a need to indulge into something as petty and ridiculous as this battle for votes/justice for a case closed 200 yrs ago.
