		<description>Sad. India could not get rid of the evil caste system for several decades.

Why aren&#039;t the protestors bothered about fighting against the caste system ?

Why is the congress govt. still there at the center ?</description>

		<description>Dear Friends,

Please read these comments to know how important it is to stop the reservations and get rid of the caste system.

&#039;&#039;We are the only nation in the world were people fight to be called backward rather than forward.&#039;&#039;
- Narayan Murthy
 
&quot;India is ready to discuss racism as long as it is in other countries, but not caste in its own backyard.&quot; 
- Dipankar Gupta, professor of sociology , J.N.U. New Delhi 
 
&#039;&#039;In place of appealing for removal and abolishing this old curse on India, all the Indians have been shamelessly accepting the caste system imposed upon by their Religion. People are fighting against the reservation quota. Is there a single sensible person who wants to fight against the caste system which is the main reason for the quota ? &#039;&#039;
- Damien Rebello
 
Caste conscious lunatics and live in this lunatic asylum, of course against our will, and &#039;blessed&#039; with an eternal curse of associating with the insane. The Indian caste system is pointedly diabolical. It is a real curse.
- Swami Vivekananda
 
Year 2006 : Indian newspapers carry daily stories of atrocities against Dalits or young couples being killed, sometimes by their own families, for daring to fall in love with someone from another caste. The caste based communities in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh have militants to terminate people belonging to the other caste. In spite of all this the Indians think that they are making progress.
- from DailyNews U.K.
 
Nobody is saying that the caste system should be praised, for it has indeed degenerated India&#039;s self-pride.
- Francois Gautier
 
Without question, caste system is the curse for India, and it has humiliated millions through the ages. Caste is India&#039;s sorrow, the apartheid that makes Indians hang their heads in shame. Caste serves as the prime reason for conversions even today. 
- Barbara Crossette
 
So you see to what extent this disgraceful caste system has taken us? Our political parties trade on it, our governments use it, our police connive at it. There is a nexus of criminals, police and government, as everybody knows, and we suffer.
- Shri Parthasarathi
 
India’s real curse lies in the fact that, 57 years after Independence, people continue not only to face daily injustices, but they can be murdered, raped and viciously humiliated merely because they have tried to break out of the caste trap to assert their rights as equal beings.

		<description>Oppose increase of reservation quota in Indian educational institutions

Please email expressing your opposition to members of Indian parliament (contact info given below) and Indian news papers. Also, post this petition in web sites and forward to your friends who are interested in technological education and development in India. Please act now and make a difference.

http://164.100.24.208/ls/lsmember/emaillist.asp (Lok Sabha MP Contact Emails)
http://164.100.24.167:8080/members/AlphabeticalListBrief.asp (Rajya Sabha)
http://164.100.24.208/ls/lsmember/alphatel.asp (Lok Sabha Phone numbers)

We strongly oppose the human resource development ministry plans to increase the reservation quota in the institutions of higher learning from 22.5 per cent to 49 per cent. We urge the government to repeal this proposal. The continued economic development of the country depends upon the excellence of educational institutions in India. Foreign and domestic investment in Indian industries depends upon the availability of large pool of well educated Indian labor force. These shortsighted political divisive measures will harm the technological and economic development of the country.

Indian institutions of higher learning such as IITs and IIMs should be preserved and improved so that the research and education can be amongst the best quality in the world and will be the engine for the rapid technological and economic development of India. The institutions of higher learning are the pillars of technological development and economic growth of the nation. Without a strong merit based educational system, India will lag behind in economic and technological development, while other major nations in the region such as China, South Korea and China are rapidly developing.

Hence, we urge you to oppose and stop these counter productive measures to increase the reservation quota in the institutions of higher learning in India.</description>
