What was that again?
I cannot possibly hope to compete against the mighty voices opposing the 'quota'. (For the record, I don't support it blindly, either.) But the sheer variety of arguments against the quota issue is amazing, if not scary. Consider this from RSS chief K S Sudershan:
‘Quotas an attempt to divide Hindus’
Indian Express - online: Thursday, June 08, 2006
I am reproducing verbatim, a portion from this story:
*****************************
‘‘Even some Brahmins are economically disadvantaged. Quota should be given on economic basis too,’’ he said.
‘‘Give opportunities, but incapable people coming to the fore will affect our national skills and efficiency,’’ he said expressing concern that nobody was worried about the development.
*****************************
Now, what was that again?
So, according to this argument, if you 'give' quota on economic basis to 'economically disadvantaged Brahmins', we wouldn't be seeing 'incapable people coming to the fore', affecting 'our national skills and efficiency'?
I think I am beginning to understand where all this opposition is coming from....It is also funny to read about ‘‘an attempt to divide the Hindu society’’...yeah, right! So, we are to gather that there was this beautifully united Hindu society,living happily and harmoniously, that is being divided TODAY?!
