Speaking at a ‘semi-christmas’ function, Telangana YSRCP head and MP, Ponguleti Srinvasa Reddy said that he would do everything possible in his capacity to see that Christians are included in the SC category. This is not a healthy trend in democracy.
Chandrababu Naidu has already been indulging in such things by promising BC status to the Kapu community in return for their votes.
Now Srinivas Reddy is patronizing the Christians in the name of reservation for them. When and where will this end?
Reservations will only end up polarizing society even further along caste and religious lines. Besides, are not reservations along religious lines unconstitutional?
Although the British have left in 1947, their policy of divide-and-rule continues to be perpetrated by our politicians.
India will take a giant leap towards becoming a super power when ‘economic backwardness’ replaces ‘caste’ or ‘religion’ as the criterion for reservation.
