Hot Topic: Reservation for General Category

Though the title is funny for readers who are Non-Indian Residents, but it has turned to be one of the possibility to happen in India. With almost 49% reservation given to SC (Schedule Caste), ST (Schedule Tribes) and OBC (Other Backward Classes) as shown in Exhibit 1.

Exhibit 1


The list of OBCs given by the Central Government of India (click here) shows more than 200 castes/sub castes/ synonyms mentioned in the list.

1 Sep, 2007: Government Survey revealed that 40.94% of the Indian populations consists of OBC, 19.59% SCs, 8.63% STs and 30.80% are so called general category.

According to the survey, 91.4% of STs, 79.8% of SCs and 78.0% of OBCs were in rural areas. Conversely, 8.6% of STs, 20.2% of SCs and 22% of OBCs were in urban areas, while 37.7% of 'others' lived in India's towns and cities.

This means 31.9% of OBCs are living in rural areas, but Mr. Arjun Singh got to a figure 27% not raising the net reservation to 50% or else India would be laughed upon.

Lets solve the equation for people living in rural areas: 91.4% of 8.63% + 79.8% of 19.59% + 78.0% of 40.94% + 62.3% of 30.80% is equal to 74.6%.

According to this survey 74.6 % people must get reservation if rural living standards is the criteria.

Instead of giving reservation government must give compensation in senior secondary, under graduate and graduate studies to financially deprived people.

HEY TELL OUR POLITICIANS TO IMPLEMENT THIS 49.5% RESERVATION IN THE PARLIAMENT ALSO!!!

Some Advertisements have one element missing.....common sense

In this era, where only two things are populating the Television Sets - Advertisements and SMS us.
SMS us is one of the advertisement and money making strategies where people can express their views.

But this is a forum to express your views on Advertisements. Express your concern, views, comments, suggestions over some funny, object-less or common sense less ads.

Here are some of the examples:

1. The Fan Ad in which a bar dancer bijli falls down, and then fan is turned on to save bijli. If some other fan was turned on and then this fan is turned on to save bijli, then the whole scene is understood and would have turned to be a very good ad.

If you try to understand the notion, they are trying to say that if u turn on the fan, then more power will be saved compared to keeping ur fan turned off......HOW STUPID CAN IT BE.

2. Sabhi dentist har din colgate aur pepsodent dono istamal karte hain.......I think that's why dentist say 'Brush your teeth twice a day'.....ek baar pepsodent se aur ek baar colgate se.

3. See this ad i saw somewhere on net......the company is trying to say they will sell their product after atleast 150 years...















Some awesome banned commercials:

1. This is one of the ad of Pepsi Vs. Coke series......I loved this ad alot where pepsi beats coke really well.....To see what all does one kid do to get a can of pepsi....click here to view video on youtube

2. A Banned beer commercial where one guy sitting in a bar hallucinates great things after drinking a bottle of beer and tries to order one more for more sexy hallucinations.....click here to view video on youtube.

3. Another banned beer ad where jennifer aniston wants two beer bottles from a mart, but her height is short and a guy helps to lift beer from the high shelf. To see what does man do after lifting the bottles of beer......click here to view video on youtube.

Will be putting more of these kinds.......

If you have any of these kinds, do write in the comments.
