A Voter’s Dilemma !!

When ever I think about voter's rights, I feel shame on it... For the next election for which front I will vote? Whom I will support?
I think all the thinking voters would be in the same dilemma...
No wonder why the voting rate is thrashing down significantly election by election.

The recent developments in the quota issue speeding up these thoughts in my mind also.
“This is the only country in which people are fighting to become backward.” This is not my words. This is what NRN’s comments on quota reservation.
Looks to be absolutely right.

Even after 60 yrs of independence, I do not understand why we are still holding up for this outdates concept of reservation based on quota.
No body will tell now in India that people are suffering only because they are from a backward cast.
That era in which the backward cast is harassed only for that reason is over.

Now, who is the dominant power?
Just think….
Is it the forward cast?
Is it a minority cast?
No, No…
The similarity of dominating community is not falling on any of these..
Then, why we are still holding to the poor concept of cast based reservation.

There is no doubt on the need of reservation.
The criteria have to be changed.
The suffering community in India has only one similarity. Its poverty.
Why can’t we give reservation based on financial status?

Yeah, every body know, what is correct.. , what is wrong..?
But nobody can do any thing..
Nobody wants to do any thing..
Nobody wants to hurt people who already enjoy the reservation.
All parties are trying to please the majority…
Even Judiciary can’t do any thing.

What a voter can do on this?
Is there an option for him/her ?
