Dear Dr. Barad, If you recall, Indira Gandhi was an elected Prime Minister in a Parliamentary form of democracy. If you remember, she was not shot dead at the end of the Emergency. It has been reported that "Operation Blue Star" in a NON-Emergency era was the cuase for her killing. Quo vadis, Fascist?
The Janata Party with a strong opponent of Indira Gandhi since 1969 organisational split of the Congress into O and R groups, Moraji Desai , as PM ruled India from 1977 to 1980. so why was the reservation for SC/ST not terminated by them. Chips of the old block? Well, we had the BJP in power for a cool five years [or almost five years]. Why was this RESERVATION POLICY not terminated then? Obviously, for the same reason why Ram Janmabhoomi temple was not built in Ayodhya ...POLITICS of the conveninces. Ab Kalia kya karega, Sarkar?? Mog asundi.

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 from Vinay Natekar" under Subject: [Goanet] Is Congress Party Secular? Sat, 16 Feb 2008 from Dr. Jose Colaco. My response: Fascism to be a system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. Natekar wrote: It has ruled for over 50 years of post independence out of 60 years by keeping people uneducated and illiterate and dividing Hindus and minority religions on communal basis, and further divided majority Hindu community by their ludicrous reservation policies thereby deepening caste biases and exploiting them for garnering their vote bank by instigating insecurity and fear psychosis in their minds. Barad's comment: Dr. Ambedkar, the father of constitution, had made a special provision within constitution which was applicable for 15 years from the date of acceptance of constitution of India that India government would put in special efforts to educate and uplift the SC/ST and there after this special provision will laps. But what did Congress do? Under the pretext of uplifting poor SC/ST they siphoned the money to their bank balance and yet continued to extend the special provision to nearly 60 year and beyond! Not only is this they have now included Other Backward Classes (OBC) also in the special provisions defeating the very purpose of Dr. Ambedkar thinking! You call this development? I think Natekar is right. What you are citing is just a handful of example which has got no meaning in the context. -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
