I posted a blog entry on Vote Bank Politics & Reservation and received following comment. Reply could have been posted in comment section there itself. But this issue is little bigger and complicated than it looks like, hence separate blog entry.
Thanx and nice to see some people agreeing. Saw ur posting
also and would like to say one thing - R u afraid to take sides???? Isn't it
time we stand tall and claim the rightful place under the sun. It's good to have
Technical and academic discussions on ur site but there sud be no boundaries to
the thinking process. These sites are true "freedom of speech & thought" and
let's make full use of it. I strongly feel Technocrats have a greater
responsibility to take the reins in there hand and correct the COURSE OF FUTURE.
Do keep in touch though u may agree or not but ur opinion will always be
respected.
Yes, I am afraid to take sides (without thinking) but about rightful place, we have to first determine, what that rightful place is.
Now Why I shouldn't take side?
World
is not perfect place and things are not quantifiable as in black and white. As soon as one take sides (strongly), other
side becomes manifestation of evil (in eyes of beholder) and enemy. We
all know that world is nothing but a shades of contradictions and there
is very thin (and shifting) line between right and wrong. Before taking
any side, first we have to determine where that line is, and what is the right solution?
As mentioned before, I do not believe in the sides so here is my argument for other side 
Why I should take sides?
With taking sides comes the passion, sometime very positive and
sometimes very negative. But this passion is what drives people to drive towards the solution. Passionate people (belonging to both
sides) try to solve the problem and probably reach a solution
which is a compromise solution (positive). Or they keep fighting and people die (negative).
Person, sitting in middle can not have that
passion (usually) because passion is about feelings. Strong feeling
means taking sides!!
Also it is more difficult to explain centrist position to general populace because this requires intense analysis. For example, in recent analysis, it was found
that 60% population of USA is centrist but in all presidential
elections, both running candidates take stand on one side or other
side. It is easier to define sides than center.. center is too
confusing for general mass.
Bottom line, Technocrats have
greater responsibility in this regard because we can analyze. So Lets Define First & Then Only Take Sides.
Which side I am on in regards to Vote Bank Politics & Reservation?
- Indian Politics and System is too corrupt and we have to take action
- On >49% reservation, I am against it.
- But on "no" reservation, I have my reservations :)
