Yesterday , Maharashtra Assembly passed ( unanimously )
a bill providing a quota of 16 % to the MARATHA community
Under a new category called , “ Socially Backwards “
That raised the total of quotas to 68 % ( including
earlier 52 % okayed by the Supreme Court )
Not content with the “ Vote Gathering Impact “ of this
“ Reform “ , Shri Fadnavis said :
What with 2019 elections looming large , it is only a
matter of time before,
# Gujarat tries
to be one-up and grants 20 % quota to the PATIDARs
# Haryana betters
Gujarat by allotting 25 % quota to the JATs
If the States can compete with each other for improving
their respective ranks on “ Ease of doing Business “ , then why not let them
compete on “ Please of getting Votes “ ?
Of course , that would mean that soon , we would have BACKWARD
communities cornering 100 % quotas – leaving nothing for FORWARD
communities !
To overcome this “ Tyranny of Arithmetic “ , I suggest following “ Skullduggery of Social Statistics “
Let us introduce a NEW category with another 100 % quotas for “ FORWARD COMMUNITIES “ , under which to allot :
·
15 % to
“ Socially
Forward “ communities of Parsis and Punjabis
·
15 %
to “ Economically
Forward “ communities of Marwaris and Gujaratis
·
15 %
to “ Educationally Forward “
communities of Marathis and Keralites
·
15 %
to “ Culturally
Forward “ communities of Bengalis and Biharis
·
15 %
to “ Religiously Forward “
communities of Ayodhyawasis and
Babri-Niwasis
·
25 %
to “ Politically Forward “ communities of Kashmiris and Naxalites
Now , my above suggestion on % age distribution
of quotas among “ FORWARD COMMUNITIES “
category , must not make those lose hearts who are still uncovered !
Being the world-class experts at “ SOCIALLY DIVISIVE NOMENCLATURES
“ , we have invented terminologies such as :
# UMG [ Upper
Middle Class ]
# LMG [ Lower
Middle Class ]
# HNI [ High
Net Worth Individuals , aka “ Stinking Rich “ ]
# BPL [
Below Poverty Line ]
# EWS [
Economically Weaker Sections ]
# MIG [
Middle Income Group ]
# LIG [ Low
Income Group ]
# Creamy Layer ………….
Etc
Given the political ingenuity of our Netas , I am
certain that they will figure out dozens of methods to circumvent the Supreme
Court dictate and succeed in ( may be ) granting 20 – 25 % reservation quota to
any minority / majority group , bold enough to ask for it !
Why can’t we have 1600 % quotas to satisfy everyone ?
After all , it was we Indians who invented the concept
of ZERO !
So , let us add as many ZEROs as we want !
