it confirms my opinion that Gujjars are not that backward -- in comparison to the tribes /castes who are in SC ST category -- nobody oppresses them - but they are maig this demand after upper caste have got 10% reservation in Rajasthan and Jats -another dominant warrior caste (rules Alwar and Haryana) has been included in OBC category by former Congress govt. of Rajasthan Umesh SANDIP DUTTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: "Think deeper" - he he!

WHY did RIOTING have to take place to begin with? Did these people wake up one fine morning and decided, : Heck, things are dull, let us go burn some buses today and cut-off policemen's limbs? Think about it and come back with your questions again. sd At 6:06 AM -0700 5/31/07, SANDIP DUTTA wrote: Hello Sondon Da, As far as I understand, police and RAF are meant to maintain law & order and prevent rioters getting out of hand. Thats their job. Army is called in only when situation gets out of control. Same approach is applied everywhere. Local Admin calls in the army. In this case, Rajasthan police had no experience handling anything of this kind in the last many decades. May we know what approach is taken towards rioters who use violence as a form of protest and then try justifying it - in the worlds greatest demokrasy - your home, the United EStates of Amrika? I mean people who damage govt. property, possibly kill and maim others and try to undermine state authority?
