Where is this nation heading? Every one and his community now wants to be on some privileged list. Yes, I am referring to the Gujjars clamouring for Scheduled Tribe status. While I don't know the merits of the demand and I am not going to comment on it, I am worried about where this state of affairs will lead to.
This is more like the proportional representation on the basis of religion that the British once held out to Indians and was rejected by Gandhi. But today's Congress and other parties are clamouring for, in essence, the same thing.
Women's quotas, SC/ST quotas, Muslim and Christian quotas, OBC quotas... we are heading for quota raj. It would be politically incorrect to criticise this competitive votebank politics, but I am pained for the nation.
These corrupt, greedy, and shortsighted politicians are presiding over the dismemberment of this once-great nation called Bharat. Hell, even that is politically incorrect now - India is more correct!
Our politicians, intellectuals and idealogues have taken up western notions of political correctness. And without an educational system that can show us our real greatness we are just following those peddlers of misery, like the children following the Pied Piper.
