Maybe she did....
***"She should have acted almost a year ago when she was told about the
growing unease among Gujjars over her election promise to get them included in
the ST category," a party source said
I support her stand of keeping the elite (upper caste) out of affirmative
action (quotas) even if she made a wrong decision of choosing it as an
election promise to win power.

Who am I to question your piety, Umesh?
But thoughtful people would not forget to consider HOW and WHY people
become 'violent'. Those who do, do so at the risk of destroying their own
credibility; like Assamnetters who prefer to forget HOW ULFA came into being
and WHY.
Take a look at:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Gujjar_unrest_BJP_to_defer_conclave/articleshow/2097036.cms
And don't forget to read all the way through. You might pay attention to the
paragraph:
"She should have acted almost a year ago when she was told about the growing
unease among Gujjars over her election promise to get them included in the ST
category," a party source said.
"She" above being the Maharani herself and the people who are questioning her
judgement are the BJP brass.
I don't take pot-shots at people who get wisdom at hindsight. It is better
than the alternative. But one can't help wondering where they were when Gujjar
disaffections were beginning to boil over as far as a year back?

**** I don't know Umesh. I thought hard, but hadn't a clue.
Why ? Perhaps YOU can explain to us why. Ram stayed the heck steer clear of
this one.
But I think you really called whats-his-name by the fitting epithet of
"sock of mud".
I tell ya, there are terrorists everywhere . Even in Rajasthan. Imagine that!
I bet it is that ISI again. They are everywhere. Do you think the people of
Rajasthan will forgive him and the Gujjars for terorizing the Maharani's
peaceable kingdom?

not when the disaffections were brewing?
Maybe Ram has an answer :-).
The latest news is that : National Security Act imposed in Rajasthan.
Under the National Security Act, the District Magistrate can order arrest
without a warrant.
That is desi-demokrasy in its best! !

'Rock of Gibraltar' leading protest

JAIPUR: If the Gujjar agitation is being conducted with a modicum of military
precision, it's because the chief strategist of the protests is a retired Army
colonel, who, his supporters say, has the qualities of a general.
Col Kirori Singh Baisala rose from the ranks in the Army, from a lowly sepoy,
and is known for his rigidity and commitment, as was seen when Gujjar mobs
across the state attacked Rajasthan police in coordinated waves, completely
overwhelming them.
"Let hundred people die. But we are clear in our objectives. We have suffered
enough and would not go back until we get the ST status," he said. Since
Monday, he has been sitting with the bodies of six people killed in the police
firing in Pipalkehra village, his native place.
In the Army, he was called the 'Rock of Gibraltar' by his officers when he was
a jawan.
When the chief minister, Vasundhara Raje, sent her emissary to invite him to
Jaipur and and hold a meeting with her, he
said , "Maharaniji ko kah dijiye ki pahle ek chithi de dein jisme vachan dein
ki sarkar hamein ST status dene ke liye recommend karti hai, phir meeting mein
aoonga (Tell the Maharani to give a letter promising
ST status, then I'll come to the meeting)."
