Sun is rising as usual in the east. Im standing here outside the
school,waiting for my 10 yr kid. He studies in class 2. Only this year
he could get admission into the school. For the last5 yrs, admissions
were closed for the general category students.
School bell rings. I can see a lot of happy children
coming out of the gate, i waited for half an hour and my kid came at
last after other children. Genaral students are not allowed to cross the
gate
unless other OBC/SC/ST students have crossed the gates.
OBC/SC/ST fathers drive away their children in classy cars. But i hv to
walk back home with my kid a 5km stretch. I lost my car some years back
when Govt. came with a rule that general people have to deposit a tax
equal to cost of their cars. Failing which i had to sell the car. As
far as buses are concerned, the seats in buses are reserved for
OBC/SC/ST. So no place there also.
After walking some 5km in scorching heat i finally reached home.It was
wednesday
... shit , no electricity.Every mon,wed,thu,sat is power cut in the
houses of General category population .So that SC/ST/OBC can be uplifted
by providing them with every opportunity and in that consideration
electricity is an important factor. Its 10:00 pm in night no electricity
at home. Its very hot inside the four walls of home .So i dare to step
out in park with my wife and kid.I seated myself with my family on a
secluded bench in garden. It was hardly 5 min ... a guard came to us
strolling in the park.He asked me what caste you belong to. I said with
some hesitation .. ..General.He asked me to pay a fine of Rs.200 and
get out of the park. My Fault...
The bench i was sitting on was meant for again the SC/ST/OBC. For their
upliftment, peace of mind is an essential things. So govt came with this
decision to
reserve benches for them.Kudos to them...
Its early in the morning ...the newspaper wala just knocked the door.I
took the
newspaper and started reading ..,its independence day . i never used to
forget
this days some 20 yrs back. My kid hardly knows wat 15th august
is,because i ever
told him any stories of greatness of our country or anything realted to
country.I don't feel like telling him the failures after freedom.
On front page of newspaper, in a corner their is a news about a OBC
member
getting 6 months impriosonment in "BAL SUDHAR GRAHA" from a juvenile
court for murdering a six year old girl. Yes the rules have been
amended ,since the last 5 years.The Culprit was a 25 year old OBC so age
relaxation was provided for
trial of crime.So he was taken to juvenile court, since there is an age
relaxation for OBC/SC/ST.
About 11 am some one gave me the BAD news about demise of one of my
neighbour and friend Mr.Mehta. I went to his house for condolence next
day,his body was lying there still rotting in the heat.I asked his son
about the Cremation .His son told me " Many reserved category have died
yesterday so we are not getting
entry to creamtion ground ". This rule is the latest from Govt.Where the
seats in creamtion ground will be reserved for SC/ST/OBC for their
upliftment. Finally next day Mehta ji was creamted.i could see the sun
setting through the Flames burning a libarated Body, liberated from
caste n creed.I was surprised sun still sets in the west.? it was about
9 pm , i was about to sleep in my bed my son came to me with innocence
in his eyes , inquisitively he asked me the question:"what is
reservation?"
i asked me where u listened that . he suddenly burst in tears .. i asked
him to keep..quiet But i could listen through his sobs "mujhe bhi
reservation chahiye".
How can i convince him its no other toy in the market i can get for him?
He kept cryin that night ,claiming many of "his classmates have got
reservation".
To make him quiet i said ok ,i'll buy you reservation at your next
B'day. HOPE he understands the bloody concept soon
