Rajasthan n riots !!!

Go here go there u find urself engaged in the discussion about the infamous Gujjar Riots. Gujjar is a community in Rajasthan that is demanding ST status to increase the ambit of reservations available to their class. The government, obviously not okay with the demands, (as its basically vasundhara raje's vow proving out to be frankenstein's monster for her now )is resisting the pressure that the Gujjar’s are now trying to create by initiating a spate of unprecedented riots in the state. In the fray are big Rajasthan MPs and MLAs including hotshots like Nathu Singh Gujjar.It’s easy for our vote-athirst politicians to trigger off rows regarding reservations. Following in their footsteps, it’s even easier for a certain segment of people (who dont even know what is the basic idea behind reservations) to get together and create a havoc to attract media attention and to get their baseless demands fulfilled. Now I’m not here to bash the changing role of the media in today’s India, cause that topic will take the post in altogether different direction .My concern is all about the physical and mental traumas that we,the aam-junta, are made to go through during these times of crisis esp coz of the transportation breakdown !!!

Anyone with a speck of alertness is aware of the whole ordeal that Rajasthan is going through .People and government alike shud show better cooperation and at least ensure that normal life isn’t affected due to trivial tiffs and disagreements. Its not pretty, its not convenient, and it almost definitely violates the rules of staying together in a harmonious society.

Hail the politicians.
Hail the ‘intelligentsia’ who prompt such riots.
life cant be fairer i guess :x
