To my meritorious friends
Despite the efforts to foment widespread resentment among the students community on the question of reservations being extended to OBCs by the Brahmin Baniya media, print and electronic, rightly fearing that the reservations next being extended to private sector, have not succeeded.

It is because the editors of this media have a vested agenda mandated to them by the press barons who pay them and the upper caste label bequeathed to them by their parents make them naturally biased and so they lack professional integrity as is evident from the fact that they are putting forth only the antireservtionist views to appease their masters and appease their upper caste ego.

How shameful that Mumbai edition of a national newspaper started with the catch line that let there be light showed that the spreadsheet paper lacks light. How shameful! Such people are indeed manuwadil lacking moral courage.

This media constantly misguides the gullible masses about basic concepts like the tenure of reservations, which are essentially for representing the 85% population of India the OBCs/SCs/STS/DTNTs/VJNTs (along with such other groups from religions like Islam and Christianity which are yet to be included) in all walks of life.

Article 334 of the Constitution which deals with reservations in the House of People and state legislative assemblies specifying time limit that can be extended by constitutional amendment has nothing to do with reservations in educational institutions funded by the State as well as employment opportunities which come under the purview of the State.

In short in the zeal of adding motive to facts the media conveniently ignores article 15(4) as amended by the 93rd amendment adds clause (5), which reads as "(5) Nothing in this article or in sub-clause (g) of clause (1) of Article 19 shall prevent the State from making any special provision, by law, for the advancement of any socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or for the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes in so far as such special provisions relate to their admission to educational institutions including private educational institutions, whether aided or unaided by the State, other than the minority educational institutions referred to in clause (1) of article 30 ” in addition to article 16(4), and 46 of the Constitution which very rightly keeping in mind the socio economic reality of the Indian society does not make it obligatory to the State to spell the time limit for such type of reservations.

Secondly the media barring exceptional examples like Outlook and Frontline magazines produce one-sided interviews of aberrational examples of failures of few students who could not cope with the studies forgetting at the sometime the successful many. I am sure the Brahmin baniya media has missed Mandal 2 bus this time perhaps they might be trying to catch Kamandal 2 bus now. Amen! Ayushyman Kamble
