Open letter to Rahul Gandhi

"I am young and I too have a dream....”

These words by your late father changed my goal; they fired my imagination inspiring me

Then came the storm of mandal, students like me Quit to take part in the anti-mandal agitation. Many of my known were affected, the boy who died in the INA market shooting, the girl who set her self on fire in Chandighar used to live in my neighborhood

We believed the Indian Constitution had foremost enshrined EQUALITY as a fundamental right. We weren’t against Dalits or any other’s we just didn't want to become the new outcastes in our own country but we were by the mandal recommendations, what r the ruling castes they r the ones who control the government n in a democracy the ones with the numbers r the rulers. The upper castes were educated n responded to the call to have less children. Today suffering the consequence of reducing numbers, in the name of vote politics n social justice they r made to suffer, the backlash is not far L K Advani has sensed it n so is espousing the cause of the Forwards. U have in ur party a few guys who don't want our country to become a mediocre one, please listen to them. Reservations encourage mediocrity so find a new way, try economic encouragement as the new mantra u can put a system where the economically weak r given incentives for educating their children. Give more for performance, for higher studies give first preference if equal. If jobs have to be reserved then it should be only one time it should not be extended to promotions. The people who benefit once their family should be barred from taking advantage of it again.

Leaders of today have to decide where they want this country to be : a country that is progressive or mediocre as more n more people who run it become mediocre as the system today is.

I appeal to u take time to think about the future, Rahul it is time for u to become a great leader like ur father and not be afraid of what others say

Give us a new direction, Lead us.

U can't just effect changes in society in one day, removing social evils need's commitment and dedication.

Most of us think that it just needs one short agitation of 10-15 days to effect a major rethink in outlook

Life is not like that our independence movement took a lot of sacrifices/agitations to even get a serious chance in the minds of our own countrymen. The Sati Pratha was not abolished in one month even now some times this social evil takes place. To convince the establishment of reservation's rethink will also take time u have to be prepared for that.

Mangal Pandey's revolt did not in a jiffy free Bharatwarsh, neither did Bhagat Singh's sacrifice make India independent, None of our shaheed's know that for sure their giving up their life result in achiving their goals, they knew that death was the only suerety but their commitment to the cause was enough to undergo any amount of .....

U might have heard of the hungerstrike in jail by Bhagat n his friends more then 100 days of hell was what it was not a 19 day movement that could be shook by a court order, it was these sacrifices n commitment that after many faliures saw us gain our independence.

The beauty that the method Gandhi used was so simple just insolent defiance n non coopration to embrass the govt, no democratic govt can afford to ignore a motivated and united group once it has enough critical mass our aim must be to attain that mass.

Therefore we have formed a group, many such groups have been formed in other places in time we shall coordinate with the ones that last long enough and share the same dream of a United, Strong, Progressive n Casteless INDIA. A India that is One and so the name ONE NATION.

Please have faith we shall prevail.....

You have a good aim. However you do not have knowledge about reservations. Reservations had been a policy in Bharat for thousands of years, it is existing today and it shall be there in future.

Consider ancient India. Karna and Eklavya could not find suitable Guru cause they were not Kshatriyas. There talent was developed by themselves in rough way and they paid a huge price.

Our 'Roti-Bety' has reservations since long and even to day.

Our industry had been protected from foreign multinationals since independence and would continue in future.

Merit for rich is the amount of money they can spend to get entrance to any institution of their choice.

Jobs in private sector are reserved for the sons and daughters of a company. Next is the caste to which the directors belong.

Certain caste finds all the facility to develop themselves just because their fore fathers are educated. And they were educated because they belonged to certain caste.

Latest report on India suggests there shall be good progress in economy. Bharat and China shall have highest growth rate. However per capita income shall not improve and if improves the improvement shall be negligible.

If at all your aim is to do away with reservations the solution is not resistance to 'Reservation Law' but create conditions so every one gets an opportunity to prove. Science says 'intelligence' is not inherited but developed. Development needs conducive atmosphere. Create it for all.

In a school weak students are given extra lessons. So organise extra training for those who are from different environment not conducive for education.

No need to go to Rahul Gandhi. You are accepting politics is reserved for sons and daughters of political leaders. Is it different from reservation?

You need to study the population growth for 60 years. Population of all castes have increased more or less in same proportion. There may be a minor variation of 2 or 3 percent.

If your group is ready to think logically and keep away from selfishness you can achieve your aim. Time needed depends on your efforts. Some of the actions you should take are,

Change marriage system. Consider merit of partners and not caste. in fact efforts should be made for inter-caste marriages.
Provide full support for those who were deprived of education.
Provide employment to persons from this category. Provide additional training if needed.
Provide incentives to persons (BPL) who voluntarily undergo vasectomy and their wives (With 1 girl living highest and 3 children living lowest).
Change name system. First name own name, middle name mother's name and last name father's name) Do away with caste in the name.I can suggest more if you are prepared to listen.
I, personally practicing this.
