Reserve me please !!!

For narrow minded people what does this title means? Reserving a table in a restaurant, multiplex, disco etc. etc. and for broadminded and farsighted people this means putting themselves in reserve category. This is what we can see now a days in Delhi. This time its Jat’s turn.

I born and brought up in outer delhi (dominated by jats). I love them a lot because most of my friends come from this community. Well versed with their language, culture and economy. I specially mentioned economy because as far as I know Jats in delhi are not backward by any means. But that doesn’t mean they are not backward in U.P, Rajasthan, Haryana and other parts. Now, they are demanding OBC status. I don’t think they are wrong if someone wants to put them in OBC / SC / ST then why doesn’t govt. put them. Is this a privilege or an honor to get in reserved categories?

At the time of independence some socially backwards casts were categorized in these categories. Now, after 64 years all those are still backward and many more casts are added. What a tragedy! Every community leaders are frontrunner to get reserved category status. We are now feeling privileged to show deprived.

Every other day you can read headlines like “India got her first dalit chief justice”, “Let’s welcome first dalit president”. Last example I heard was of our Loksabha speaker Smt. Meira Kumar. I hope you all know she is the daughter of Late. Sh. Babu Jagjivan Ram, former deputy prime minister. A great visionary and leader of masses in recent history. Smt. Kumar is well educated and served in Indian Foreign Services which included high commission of Spain, U.K and Mauritius. Now can any one please explain me by which calculation she is dalit. If a daughter of Deputy PM is dalit then I think Jat’s demand are 100% legitimate.

This is high time to be a volunteer of their community to get reserved status. I would like to lead my community Kayastha. I personally feel I’m backward because I don’t see any political leader after Lal Bahadur Shastri. He was Srivastava but dropped his last name as he was against caste system. What you did sir, I lost my identity ..

Any other volunteer from other so called upper castes ?

What is the definition of Dalit ?

A caste comes under a reserved category or a person who is even not able to arrange bread for two times.

Is there any politician or leader who asks for reservation on the basis of financial condition.

If not then please give OBC status to my Jat friends and please consider my feelings of backwardness too.

Your's socially backward and deprived friend
