I went to the woods....

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to five a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a srange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God, and have somewhat hastily concluded that it is the bhief end of man here to ‘glorify God and enjoy him forever’"

Trying to analyze the thinking of a Politician

We all would have criticized our politicians, some day – for they are corrupt.

But have you ever thought they are very much like us. After all they represent us in the parliament. They are a selected bunch of common people.

They have the same choices as us. And the choices of common human being's generally are- money, fame, respect, love (can u suggest anything else).

Now try to keep yourself in the place of Mr. X (a big politician). You recently Rs. 400 crore from a scam. You think you won't need more in your life. In fact you can't spent even this much. One of your choice's( money) has been satisfied . What would you do now? When I kept myself in Mr.X's place I thought I should move on to my next choices, Fame, respect?

So, what I want to convey is that not all politicians are corrupt. Mr X has different choices at different points and there are politicians who don't have money as their choice. We should look politics with a more positive attitude. With more respect to our politicians.

Currently we believe politicians to be a little better than criminals. And our thinking results to more criminals entering politics. If we view politics from a positive perspective then only some of us will get into politics. To make a better India.

Politics of Reservation

I was thinking and analyzing the current method by which the government is going to implement OBC reservation and suddenly this thing crossed my mind that the current method of implementing reservations benefits the general category more than anyone else. If you have already started wondering here's how.

Current Scenario

Suppose a college with 100 seats

SC/ST-22.5 seats (they make 22.5% of the population)

Gen-77.5 seats (they make 77.5 % of the population)


 

After Implementing OBC Reservation

  • 27 % reservation for OBC's
  • No. of seats for general category unaffected.

To provide 27 % seats to OBC's keeping the no. of seats for the Gen category same the college with 100 seats must increase its intake to 153 seats.

Total-153 seats

Gen (OBC's removed)(same no of seats)-77.5 seats( they make only 33.5 % of the population)

OBC - 41 seats (they make 44 % of the population)

SC/ST – 34.5 seats (they make 22.5 % of the population)

So after this analysis we can safely conclude that the 27% reservation is a direct advantage for the general category. So what makes them protest against Reservation? Reservations are a clutter we have been carrying from an unbearably long time. They divide our country on basis of cast. It has already become ineffective. For Ex. In our college The line of cars is much longer on the day of SC/ST counseling, compared to gen category counseling.(Well it might not be big or direct proof of the ineffectiveness of the reservation system, but it a small observation). Our minister's for their ulterior selfish motives. Have incurred a huge loss to the nation.
