When you see things happening around you that you've been wishing for you start believing in the Power of People's voice ! I wrote my first article because I couldn't cope up with the insanity around the Caste based reservation system. I simply couldn't understand how it can be so difficult to understand that a society changes in decades and so should the rules and regulations in order to have a balanced life. Reservations should only be based on economic backwardness . Casteism should be eradicated. Just like me there are millions of young Indians who are wishing the same all around India. Now we are seeing some positive movement in that direction! Click on the link below to read an article from Times of India stating that Quotas are likely for poor among upper castes.

Amid the hullabaloo over the reservations in the country, because of the Patels going nuts in Mahatma Gandhi’s state (you’ll get the context if you remember Poona Pact), we get to read dozens of articles every day. So why did I choose to jump into an already overcrowded pool?  It was because none of the articles were blunt enough to tell the entire truth. Moreover I could no longer tolerate the immaturity of my fellow countrymen who call themselves proud Indians but don’t understand the true meaning of citizenship. So what on earth is this reservation shit? Why do we even have this fucking system? Read along to know. Reservations were initially introduced into the Indian Constitution to uplift the underprivileged section of the society and put them at par with the rest of the people which would ultimately result in every individual getting an equal opportunity to thrive and succeed in life. Oops! We are talking about reservations in the education system so let’s not consider th
