Controversy and India

It seems us Indians can resist anything but controversies.Take the Da Vinci Code movie for example.Worldwide recognition,international attention…just the perfect controversy to get involved in right.Well think again.I am not anti-Christian and I am sure Dan Brown isnt either,but it really makes me think minorities in India strive for larger attention to highlight their ‘problems’.It doesn’t make Hindus any better but a complaint on MF Hussain drawing nude Hindu goddesses hardly gets any coverage whereas the prophet cartoons made thousands of Indian Muslims come out on streets and disrupt everyday life.A Muslim politician calling for the head of the cartoonist made worldwide news.And now the Pope has the nerve to interfere in our internal matters.Unbelievable.Let me assure the Pope that India always has cared for its minorities(and has paid for it).But this time it has gone too far, yes I am talking about reservation. These politicians who have decided to implement quotas and reservations do not care about minorities,they see them as vote banks to be won over. Being a Brahmin or open category student in this country is an undesirable position to be in.Where did the concept of social equality go?Social discrimination has vanished for atleast two generations now.SC and ST’s have managed to be wealthy.Everyone has equal opportunity job-wise.So why now?Why give special treatment to anybody.It just doesn’t make sense.I am anti-reservation and I am proud of it.This may seem like a controversial post, but what the heck…I am an Indian too who cant resist controversy.
