Sounds interesting. I like the idea.
Here's a little question though:
All this while there have been NRI quotas, management quotas and stuff like that and noone said anything. Are you opposing all these? Or are you opposing only the recently proposed "reforms"?
Great !!. You need more publicity for this protest so many would participate.
nee, NRI quotas exist in Anna University., a government institution.
Do protest but lets not hear any of this revolution nonsense. Not one of you would know a revolution if it was staring in your face. Can you ever imagine Bhagat Singh or Bismil or Chandershekhar Azad standing by for such an opportunistic and parochial set of young people as you.
We all know that if this reservations crap had not cropped up,
NOT ONE of you would have ever even raised the issue of inadequate reservation implementation by the government.
Not ONE among you will opt to work among the rural poor.
Not one among you will stay back in India given a chance you get to go to the UK, Australia, Europe, Canada or USA.
Not one of you have every fought for a cause which involves others and not just your self.
Not one of you will be able to stand up for the poor or the underpriviledged when they are under attack by the police or even by upper castes.
Against All Discriminations
We must demand and unite in our fight to abolish of all forms of discrimination and reservations:
ABOLISH ALL FEES FOR EDUCATION AND ABOLISH CAPITATION FEE/PRIVATE EDUCATION: (Germany has free education for all)
Good Quality Education must be a social need and FREE which has to be fulfilled by the state. After all we do pay taxes to the government to provide us quality services. It is when, we the middle class chose to opt out of government schools that education suffered. If there were ONLY government schools we ALL (irrespective of castes) would have united much earlier and could have really kicked ass and ensured good education for all. The same happened with water, electricity, transport, health services etc. We let the government take us for a long long ride - we did not fight... instead we chose an easy way out...today we all have aquaguards, generators, invertors, personal cars etc. and the government is sitting on its fat arse doing nothing.NOTHING. Forget higher education...Why cant the government supply clean drinking water even after 55 years of independence???Why must we buy aquaguards while the poor ( irrespective of their caste) continue to suffer???
Why should we pay taxes and then have to pay again and again for services which are useless, while an idiot with cash becomes a doctor simply by buying his way through into private medical colleges??? WHY??

>>good pt i dun agree wit ne kinda reservation in a govt institution
Nice :)
About the reasons, yeah, I guess those are the right reasons, but it's still as unfair as this reservation.
@rajesh pande: Holy jeez man! Nice broadside! I agree that it's no "revolution" but wow, watch it with those other comments :D
I know this is not the place for this,but just wanted to mention that I have provided a limk to this site from www.youthforequality.wordpress.com Karnataka Chapter.
Cheers. Keep Up the Fight
It gives me immense pleasure that positive signs are coming out from TN also, despite a huge support-base for reservations there.
All these years this 69% has become a deterrent for all the upper castes from even thinking of lucrative opportunities, though some of them self-deserving ready to serve the nation. This was nothing but racism against the upper castes, that too in the name of doing so-called 'social justice'. BS.
We shouldn't allow this to aggravate further and to stop all this non-sense once for all. Let's create a single Nation for all. Let's stop this vote-bank politics for ever. Everybody should take part in this protests and make this a revolution.

kudos to the organisers and participants of the rally today, esp when it was raining. I hope there will be many more such rallies and that we will have more and more of india's citizens turing to the streets to fight for the right stuff.
