Kalyani Nandurkar replied to the topic limit the amount of gold given at weddings..
It is really silly to see the so obviously unhealthy obsession of Indians with the gold. There are so many communities in India who still give too much importance to hoarding gold than spend money on more essential things such as education, basic home comforts etc. There are also so many myths regarding buying gold on specific days such "akshay tritiya" that there are almost a mile long queues outside jeweller shops in Pune!

Patels are a very enterprising community and almost all of them are successful entrepreneurs in various fields. I have a friend from this community who is a member of a large group of this community, all of those people are very rich construction contractors. Why do they even need reservation?

The Patels of Gujarat are a reasonably well off community who have also made a name for themselves in USA by becoming owners of motels and shops. In Gujarat they are a politically influential community and are well represented in almost all spheres. Do they deserve reservation under OBC quota for which they have launched an agitation?

Reservation for skilled, ability to contribute to the society should be only basis. Cate based reservations split the country. Patels movement for reservations in OBC is unjustified.

Not only in USA but all over the world Patels are known for their entrepreneurship. I have seen them fill the telephone directories and yellow pages of business community whichever country I visited right from Africa to Canada and Australia to Maldives.
As far reservation is concerned, I am of the opinion, either all reservation should go or all be included irrespective of cast and creed. The only criteria for any reservation is ability, the qualification and there is no other way this country will come out of petty politics that we are witnessing in the name of vote bank today.
Today you have Patels and Jaats influential communities with land and money tomorrow it will be Thakurs, Pandits and Baniyas (The only casts left) so give them all the facilities of reservation in one go and settle the issue forever. That will help reduce the political chaos too.

Each picture made me stare without batting my eye. Each picture is a picture of serenity and tranquility. Far from the madding crowds and din.
If man's creativity and Nature, which itself is a great master are combined will there be any dearth of Wonders?

According to your thread, Patels are reasonably well off.
If Patels are economically well off and politically influential in Gujarat, I'm all against Patel agitation for OBC. This agitation is meaningless and uncalled for.
I advocate reservation for economically backward. Caste based reservations will create distance between communications.

Let's compare on equal grounds. Man is superior because he need not bark for expressing his views. If he too barks, both are equal.
