There is a story of the Captain on the burning deck and finally the ship sank with the captain. The Indian state is burning and now may well sink in the the depth of the Ocean with a new agitation by the Patel community unleashed in Gujarat. The agitation is a severe reminder that the politics of reservation brought in by VP Singh has boomeranged and now the genie is out and it wont go back. One wonders how short sighted VP Singh was? For a small personal gain he sold teh soul of teh Indian nation to heathens, when he brought in 27% reservation in Government jobs as well as the Public sector. In one stroke this man divided India like never before.
Now the birds have come home to roost and almost every community is asking for reservation. The Patels an influential community in Gujarat have asked for reservation as well and though being economically better off they feel that they deserve reservation. They have a point however as teh politics of reservation has worked against them and in all walks the lesser qualified and poorer intellect men are moving ahead. Mind you many patels are also poor, thus this agitation was expected.
This is the beginning and more communities will ask for reservation. Where will India go from here? There has to be a solution and that is the roll back of all forms of reservation. VP Singh needs to be consigned to the dust bin of history. But it will be a Herculean task to bring this about and Modi and the BJP are not the party who can bring this change. The Indian state is thus doomed and maybe the Chinese are right after all that in a few decades India will be a fragmented nation. All I can say is Beware and Beware!
