Merit My Foot

Congratulations, a well deserved victory for women all around the country. After all its like u've been fighting for this for ages. That dalit mahila whos been stuck in her house for ages is goin to finally come out get a fresh lease on life. That opressed daughter who was soooooo interested in politics and state policy is finally goin to get a chance, the upliftment of women in general is around the corner... More of them in the assemblies is going to work wonders... They are gonna come up with and sucessfully implement policies that apparently never crossed the minds of their male counterparts. The likes of Jayalalitha and Mayawati shall lead by inspiration- with the great job they are doing for women in their respective states. Which begs the question, How many successful women leaders are there because they were supplied reservation?

So women are progessively getting worse? They are slowly losing their qualities of leadership that we are in the need to introduce this bill now? And who said- just who had the brilliant idea that forcing a women candidate upon a constituency just because it fell under reserved category was better than letting the people elect their representative fairly. It seems like an affront to democracy to have such a crude form of reservation. Wake up leaders- BC's.. SC's ST's these are the backward castes... They have women too... U dont need a separate reservation again for women.. Its simply becoming cursed to be born as Male and Forward caste in this nation. Give them seats in educational institutions-given.. give them seats in government offices-given.. hell u gave them seats in city busses and if that waznt enuf u gave them whole buses to ride in... but how is it a brilliant idea to enforce upon the people a leader they do not want...

How is it progress? And y are women around the country applauding it... Dont they have any selfrespect? Cant they win on merit alone? They come up with all sorts of absurd lines abt how women are more sincere, more dedicated, more at ease with power- Well tell that to the people in the next election and win it fair and square; Make an all women party 4 all i care. But i should face the truth- all this ranting isn't gonna change anything... So since i am gonna be ruled by u ppl only 2morrow... 4 all the women who are reading this... I salute U.. Wish i waz born of ur feather... _/\_.. 4 all the guys... its not like i wish to suck up to them bro.. but apparently, now i got to.....

  3. well... not that i am happy with the idea of women reservation bill....it's demeaning to us who know what merit means and how much it is important for our self respect... but i am really appalled at the bad taste in which this post has been written..
    and probably before writing all this, u cud have recalled that for centuries, women were treated like animals by the darker sex of course, then there was no voice of protest..now when there is a step for their upliftment (i know a reservation bill is not the best way, but it might prove to be some good),all the protests come rushing through... why is it that the male ego is so hurt?? hurt to the extent that u are slamming women, can't be that woman on the reserved seat be a good leader too, or are u totally adhere to the belief that no woman can be a good leader..
    i am sorry... really disappointing post....

  4. prachi... you're talking about centuries of discrimination by some great grandfather i didnt know about... but now we're talking about reverse discrimination by YOU... really sad situation we are in... this bill as well as the support it's receiving is simply vote bank politics on one hand and a misdirected sense of vilgilantism on another. nothing more.

  6. @prachi... i am sry if u feel tht i in anyway consider women as inferior leaders... ithe fact tht i have great respect for them is precisely y i am writing this.. i think they are able too and should be allowed to fight on even ground... Thts all... Let them win the people by their own leadership skills... Cos mayb i wont but atleast one guy sumwhere will point at tht reserved candidate and say she doesnt deserve it cos of the means thru which she got it... and thts all it takes to haunt those 5 mins between lying on the bed and falling asleep... i didnt think thts wat the fairer sex needed.... correct me if i am wrong
