Don`t mix them with regular folks. We don`t want to be polluted by your shadow. And the employers would know which IITs they don`t have to go to for campus interviews.


ROFL..

[Perhaps they forget that for four thousand years the Brahmins had simply reserved education for themselves, no one could learn Vedas, none could recite holy mantras, and no one could learn any skill which was not sanctioned by his caste. This was perpetuated with such conviction that even now the upper castes believe that India should revert to old system of Varnas, where they enjoyed all the power and pelf, no questions asked.]

Are you low-caste mufukkas trying to learn the Vedas and become priests at temples?

Do you think Murli Manohar Joshi introduced Sanskrit and the study of Vedic Mathematics at the IITs and IIMs?

What you want is for the Brain-Dead to freeload on top of the hard-working people of India.

If you want a total of 49.5% reservations (22.5% for SC/ST and 27% for OBCs), you should take half the IITs and make them the OBC-IITs. Don`t mix them with regular folks. We don`t want to be polluted by your shadow. And the employers would know which IITs they don`t have to go to for campus interviews.

well i dont think chowk is a forum.....i think its more of a website......well nice that u want your voice to be heard......i dont know about india........but in pakistanmedia has become alot more free then it was before......print media has been quite open for many decades ( just a few bruises when politicians and rulers try sacking editors and journalists and close down some publishing sites.....) .....it still leaked out alot more facts then the rulers would love....and now with the emergence of private channels( which have been in india for mor ethen a decade now) we can view alot of discussions and debates and alot of issues are discussed........and i hope the caste system is jolted by the end of this decade......
