I don't know what to do in my country,
I'm a male graduate belonging to an O.C, middle class, Hindu family,
I have studied 10+2(intermediate) for 4 years, wasting 2 years in the name of two long terms, to get a seat in a private medical college for a rank which was below 1000, while one of my college mate got a seat in a top government college with intermediate for a rank of 17,000 just because he is an S.C.
And now we don't have sufficient post graduation seats in our country.
According to NBME report, 93-94% of the medical school seniors in USA will get into residency (our post graduation) every year and 45% of Foreign Medical Graduates will get residency positions.
When we see in our country it is only 10-15% students who are getting post graduation seats every year and with this we have reservations.
Our government remembers every one, Muslims,Woman, S.C, S.T, B.C but what about us,where should we go.
They don't even remember us at least at the time of elections, might be we don't deserve to stay in this country.
The only claim every one does is that we O.Cs are rich,are all S.Cs and S.Ts poor and struggling to live their daily lives and is there a single S.C or S.T who is rich and who refuses to take a seat in reservation category.
How many years more should we have reservations, another 100 yrs or another 1000 yrs, is there anything like a time limit for this or we should have reservations forever.
I'm not saying only about caste based reservations, I mean it about gender based reservations too.When they say men and women are equal in all respects why should women be 33% more equal.
I'm rich.My father earns 25,000/- per month after working day and night because he is not a professional employee.and he pays 5,000/- towards our house rent,12,000/- for my education loan and remaining 8,000/- for other loan he took for his business,and every month he will be searching for a person who would lend him some money for interest.
If I belonged to some other caste I would have got fee re embursiment at least.

But, Kalyani, the problem is that no matter how hard one tries to remain positive. He gets hit again by this system. Our system is corrupt from the bottom. Only hope is the gen gap which i think will take another 20-30 years to bring the revolution. Keep praying till that time.

Well yes, that is true Puneet. We keep getting hit by the biases but if we lose hope and confidence then what message are we passing to our coming generations? This is the main reason why majority of open classes people have migrated abroad and are still migrating. Only some make a noise of brain drain but do nothing to retain them here.

And still all is not negative, there are many patches of oases if you look around you. There are still many people from OC in higher posts, who run the shots. Also, I think if we are to create jobs for ourselves, people from younger generation should try to be more enterprising and do things on their own. Just being dependent on government jobs is not going to help anyone.

The problem is we are too dependent on our system. If we keep whining over our issues with the system, we will not be able to achieve anything in life. I admit that our system has partiality over reservations but when you are on the losing side, there is no use in blaming the other side but you have to find other ways to win.
