Mumbai police on Saturday brutally beat up medicos and other students protesting against reservation. Close to 20 students sustained injuries, with two of them admitted to hospitals with suspected fractures. Many others were treated for minor injuries.This is really shocking.
Definitetly medicos were neither criminals nor they were breaking any law and order.Not only Medicos but every Indian should condemn manhandling of peaceful medicos.
Yesterday Pune witnessed a huge rally by around 600 medicos and engineering students from Pune,Panvel,Satara,Dhule and Nashik, who protested against attacks on medicos by police.IMA has also called for day long strike today which is bound to hit medical services.
Every Medico hopes a amicable solution to the ongoing crisis will be sought soon.

IMPORTANT: WE ARE NOT AGAINST ANY PARTICULAR PERSON / GROUP OF PEOPLE /
CASTE / POLITICAL PARTY / POLITICIAN.
WE ARE AGAINST A GOVERNMENT POLICY. WE ARE AGAINST THE IDEOLOGY BEHIND & IMPLEMENTATION OF RESERVATION OF SEATS IN ANY SYSTEM / INDUSTRY ON THE BASIS OF CASTES. PLEASE DO NOT MISINTERPRETE AND TRY TO PROVOKE ANYONE ON THE BASIS OF CASTE. THIS IS FOR THE GOOD OF OUR SOCIETY; TO GIVE JUSTICE TO THEM WHO DESERVE THE RESERVED SEATS.
DR Narendra is right..reservations should not be for creamy layer students.
Again Reservation!
Warning:!
I request everybody to read this mail from a comman perspective. And request everybody to shun away their caste Identity. Still vast majority of people are toiling in villages suffering two pronged devils 1) Caste oppression and 2) Economic depression. And lower caste people(poor and slum) in urban area also still suffering social discrimination in either way(economic and/or Caste). Given this context inorder to give even opportunity to everybody, reservation is the only option available in this system. The other option could be to demolish the system.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Some arguments and Counter arguments:
#1) One of the prime argument by the Social oppressors is "Fair Competition"
This argument is primarily the argument of Neo Globalisation Middle class who benifitted from the sufferrings of Amrican Employees. This Argument is valid against Upper caste, as in IT field they are representing more than 60%.
What is fair competition?
Is that the one we compete with American employees? Will any one us can survive if we have to have a fair competition with american counter part who lost job because of Outsourcing? If those upper caste elites are sooooooo honest and dedicated to fair competition then apply it to themself when they compete with USA employees. Atleast Do they have the courage to accept that not becasue of talent but becasue of Cheap labour that made the USA counter part loose the Fair competition with India and other countries? Those people shouldn't talk about Fair competition with this great immorality with in them.
#2) The other argument is Economically good - other caste people are enjoying Reservation. This argument has its base on the ignorance of the truth that Reservation are not based on Caste but based on population. Reservation not based on Caste, Based on population:
Reservation are given not based on caste. It is introduced to even the uneven sharing of lucurative, influential jobs by various social groups. The percentage of upper caste in total population is around 5%(tamil nadu statistics). Where as they occupy the whole lot of positions in All good-coloured collar jobs(white etc).
The reservation is the same as reservation for Afro-American' in USA(all the companies- regarless of private or public). Unfortunately(Fortunate for some section) the social groups in India are Caste groups too.
The existing reservation is implimented paritaly. Till most of the Good-colored collar jobs are in the hands of uppercaste. However there is no attempt from government to even the uneven sharing of jobs in Bad-colored collar jobs(Lavatory cleaning etc).
While the upper caste person can become a temple archagar for a lower caste God. Govt, Supreme court, and other judicial bodies are banning a lower caste person become a archagar for an upper caste temple. is that a fair competition?
My opinion from the available statistics and from what I perceive everday is that the reservation should be more than 90% for other than upper caste social groups. And it should be compensatory reservation system.
That is for example if the reservation for a particular caste group is not filled in the bad-colored collar jobs then the reservation for the particular group should be reduced in good-colored collar jobs. (If it hurts somebody then they have to understand that the cricket mail hurts the oppressed people....Sarcastical approach is not a sole property belongs upper caste).
#3) There are people who say increase allocation to education instead of reservation which would help the socialy discriminated castes:
These people never ever lend their Voice for the solution they say. Till now, those social oppressors are struggling just to anihilate reservation. For those people: If their concern about India is Genuine, then they have to first join the struggle for Education&Employment to everybody. If it is implimented then they have the justification to struggle against reservation.
#4) Quality and Merit:
Latest cut-off marks for BCs and SC/STs in Tamil nadu professional -Entrance Exams for MBBS admission - Analyst, Jayaprakash Gandhi of Salem, notes that last year the cut off scores for MBBS entrance in the government colleges were (including the TNPCEE scores) - OC-295.74; BC -294.26; MBC-292.13; SC-287.56; and ST-274.00. Is the score 287.56 out of 300 is poor score and the SC people are idiots?
And there is no untoward incidents in India in any field that happened particularly due to poor quality Lower caste person.
Indeed there are majority of ugly incidents involving only upper caste people, starting from India' first Centeral minister sacked for corruption T.Krishnamachary to Stock exchange scam Harshadh Medha. And we have examples where low caste people went to villages to serve their people.
Let's see the below statistics which contradict the share of various social groups in population:
IPS Total => 3300, Upper caste(Brahmin) ==> 2376 ----- 72%
Ministry of Defence(Class I) Total==> 1397, Upper caste(Brahmin) ==> 1332----96%
Ministry of Defence(Class II) Total==> 7752, Upper caste(Brahmin) ==> 6762----87%
Ministry of Defence(Class III) Total==> 2127, Upper caste(Brahmin) ==> 1332----62%
And this is because of the fact that still vast majority of people are toiling in villages suffering two pronged devils 1) Caste oppression and 2) Economic depression. And lower caste people(poor and slum) in urban area(especially- Mid towns) also still uffering social discrimination in either way(economic and/or Caste).
Given this context inorder to give even opportunity to everybody, reservation is the only option available in this system. Inorder to distribute the available resources evenly, the other option could be 'Demolish this system - Revolution'.
