The OBC Reservation Row and its problems.......
Will there ever be a solution to the caste quota reservation, I had written a post on this blog about six or seven months back, that detailed the problems faced by people in the General Category to get admission in good colleges and find government jobs. The problem persists, the Supreme Court took a bold decision by putting a stay order on the reservation quota for OBC candidates, and look what happened...
The DMK so called saviours of the down trodden, disrupted life in Tamil Nadu by declaring a state wide bandh from 6 AM to 6 PM on Saturday March 31. Life was crippled, no shops, no theatres, no buses, autos or trains, and for the confirmed alcoholic, no wineshops. On Friday night itself the frequency of buses and autos decreased drastically.
March 31, the day when accounts were closed for stock taking, a day when auditors and busineesmen had a hundred tasks, well everything went awry, because of the idiotic and irresponsible behaviour of the Rising Sun.
Trains scheduled to enter Tamil Nadu on March 31, were stopped outside the state, trains and flights were rescheduled, lots of people who had planned weekend trips and picnics, faced a rude shock and had to stay back at home because of this strike.
What did Kalaignar achieve by calling this strike? Was any practical solution derived from this strike? No, a big no, school students writing their public exams, busy professionals, heck everyone right from the beggar to the multi-millionaire had to suffer at the hands of the DMK.
Thankfully no incidents of violence were reported, the only saving grace of this bandh, much unlike bandhs that happen in Kolkatta, Delhi and Bombay.
Hope the DMK, gives atleast a week's notice before calling anymore bandhs and strikes.

Reservation is something which can never reach a mutual understanding...
Its more of a sociteial problem... and has been for ages.......
Its a problem that needs to be sorted at the earliest as its the one main factor contributing to communal clashes on and off....which favours both the ruling and the opposition party as people tend to forget the negligence of the government on various issues during such clashes and tend to fight over petty matters like caste, community.. etc .. thus providing space for the political rogues(Both ruling and opposition) to escape from their duties ...
The government has to sort out issues on reservation based on the constitution....... so that there are no "Hard Feeling" ... amongst the various "Classes".......
