The quota fracas

I don’t know where the nation will be steered under the Netas who are ready to go beyond any limits to achieve their agenda. It is really very sad to see that the educated and knowledgeable people are not respected in this country. Those playing as tail wagging dogs displaying their loyalty to Politicians are awarded. Today in whatever position India is(in case of development), that is the outcome of hard work of very few visionaries, business houses and NGOs. Government has very low contribution in it. Infact there have been many cases where the politicians have played a spoilsport for development because they did not get their “share” or their selfish inetersts were not served.



Its very good to see that Doctors of Delhi, Mumbai and other regions are spearheading the protests against job quota. I am shocked to see the treatment of these medical students by Police. Yesterday they were sprayed with water canons in Delhi and in Mumbai they were lathi charged. Some one should inform these Khaki guys that these are not some local goons who have come to protest because they have been given good amount for the day. These are educated people who have come out to protest for the greater interest of nation and not to fulfill their selfish needs.

By and large their protests were peaceful.Then why such a treatment.

But there is something that worried me.
Till yesterday evening 2 patients died who needed immediate medical attention,but due to strike of Doctors were unattended. A lady named Simran Kelkar, patient of thyroid, was dead after shuttling from one hospital to another.
[Click on the newspaper clipping for details and enlarged views].


The Doctors have gone on strike for very good reasons. But due to their absence people are losing their lives. So what has to be done in this case. The strike is important to see to it that injustice is not done by government, but saving lives of people is also important. Its different that Netas don’t care whether people lose lives or not. They will enjoy the prevailing stand off; giving statements to media and blaming students. Someone has to think in this direction too.



Sam Pitroda, Chairman of Knowledge Commision, submitted report to PM Manmohan Singh about the decision of Commision to oppose the proposed hike in Quota. He was lambasted by Arjun Singh for being careless and not taking in to consideration intrests of “larger sections of deprived” (read Vote Bank). Sharad Yadav also jumped into fray to cash on the political gains arising from the fracas and blamed him(Pitroda) for being ignorant.

I think time has come for Arjun Singh and people like him to pack their bags, take Kamandal and head off to Himalayas.



In between, Shayan Munshi was caught when he was trying to escape out of India.
Dear Shayan its not easy to get away so easily. You get to pay heavily for helping the accomplices.

@Ganga
You are right.Doctors are in a position where they cannot protest due to god like status.But its much better to risk lives of few people right now,than to risk lives of thousands in future.

@Shriedhar
Kash real life Aamir Khan hota...rang de basanti wala.
Well...u wanna try?

@Shreyas
Yup.everything has to be on merit.

@deepa
Even after so many days of protest no one is asking ailing doctors.Thats bad.Hey this doesnt means you should leave country.Its our nation.If we dont think about it then who will?
