For a couple of days with the dinner I am listening to reporters giving details about the "Gujjar Andolan" in Dosa (Rajasthan). Those who don't know anything about this, let me give a brief background to this issue. Gujjar is a community in India especially in Rajasthan who have their leader Colonel Baisla who is ex-army man. In leadership of him they have started a movement in which they have removed the rail tracks destroying the rail transport passing from Rajasthan. Well, you should not conclude that I am an activist in the field of Reservation quotas just because my last post was somewhat related. Its merely a coincidence and this post is independent.
They did the same before a couple of years ago and they succeeded. Now when there is a hope of new government jobs, they want some benefits. I am wondering that our government will again surrender to these people? I still remember the statement of Supreme Court on the issue of reservation quota that People have started to fight to be called backward!
In my opinion this is not the civilized way of demanding. The rail network has collapsed. There is not at all rail commutation in western region. Trains are diverted and passengers as well as the local residents have to suffer. Who doesn't want benefits? When we talk about equality after 50 years (oops, 60) years of independence, let those people have chance who have merit and not caste advantages. I wondered what a young 25 years old General category unemployed guy who doesn't have these advantages and have high hopes for the jobs, will think of this country on hearing this news? Lets put general category aside, what if other castes take the example of this and start doing the same?
To be direct, its like a man-eater tiger. If a tiger tastes the blood of human then tiger is always looking for humans otherwise generally tigers get afraid of humans. So I hope this time Govt of India doesn't surrender and take some actions that there is no scope for this kind of movement in future.
