Its the job of the government to improve the infrastructure.
I think people have the right to choose where they live, if they have used govirment subsidy or not is immaterial.
Also, there is nothing wrong in educating oneself to earn more money, provided its within the law of the land. After all, the more one earns, the more he pays as tax, isn't it?[/quote]
Dear Sriranga,
It is ofcourse the job of the govt. to improve the infrastructure. It expects to improve the facilities using the people like you and me, on whom it had invested previously.
I accept that people have a right to choose where they want to live. But if we are not willing to go to these places, then how do you expect those shitty towns to develop?
We always ask: What the country has done for me, but never what we have done for the country.
Yes joe. Got the answer. Reservations only can develop our country.Quote:

And our politicians - who represent these rich and powerful are doing their job just fine.Quote:

I am not sure if it violates the SC decision in letter - but most certainly in spirit.
IMO it clearly exposes the fact that even politicians who wax eloquent about social justice, are only interested in consolidating their power centres and don't give a damn about the people they claim to fight for.
I am just waiting to see what exactly is the argument that these parties will try and make. And if "principled" parties like CPI(M) will put up a semblance of a fight.
What you say is very true. However, I want to repeat what I said earlier (probably in another thread): these politicians don't come from heaven but from among the same people, selected by the same people:-) In democracy, 'மக்கள் எவ்வழியோ, அரசன் அவ்வழி':-)Quote:

"Social Justice" is the second most abused term in Indian politics. Now the very parties which built their political platform on these are the ones arguing for the inclusion of the creamy layer. :mad: I guess this will redefine the term "social justice" now.
அரசியல்வாதிகள் 'சமூக நீதி' என்று சொல்லுவதன் பொருள் உங்களுக்குத்தெரியாவிட்டால், அவர்கள் என்ன செய்வார்கள், பாவம்?:-)
The bitter truth :(Quote:
