Interestingly, I got a comment from someone which said something to the effect that I am blogging in English because my ancestors oppressed the backward classes (I am a Brahmin). Ofcourse I do not publish any comments which are against any community (even if the community in question is Brahmin) and therefore did not publish the comment. Also he said that blacks in America have 50 percent reservation, which I know is untrue. I do not publish such twisting of facts.
This comment made me realise that there are people who want to take revenge on the upper castes and their weapon is – reservation. That is why they want the rich OBC’s to be part of the reservation system.
Well, horrible things have happened in the name of caste, and some things still happen, but certainly I don’t hold myself responsible. I never see people in terms of their caste.
Nor do I hold my great-grandfather resposible, a hard working sincere man who believed in womens rights, a poor school master who came up the hard way.
Only sick twisted minds hate whole communities and frankly I know it is pointless to argue with them.
I am absolutely against taking revenge for historical wrongs. If we go by that criteria, this whole world will become a madhouse.
Today, let us focus on helping poor people – not rich kids who have access to the internet, and are greedy for reservations..
