ARE WE ALL EQUAL ??

Friends, we live in 21^st Century and does it suit on us if we are divided by cast, race, religion, gender and nationality? Indeed not. Albeit the colour of our blood is same, we are divided by above points and it’s the bitter truth.

I would like to narrate a story about my friend regarding this topic. My friend scored about 85 % in his class tenth and it was his dream to study in one of the top five colleges of our city. But unfortunately when the merit list was declared, there was a cut-off of 86 % for the open category which my friend belonged to. So he wasn’t able to get admission in that college just because he belonged to upper caste ?Other friends of mine were in the same college with 75% merit as they all belong to lower caste. So friend’s education is being divided based on the cast. Also admission is not given completely based on the merit. Isn’t it apprehensive??

I would like to brief another story of my friend closely related with this subject. My friend wanted to get into government job in one of his interested field. But there also the seat matrix was divided on caste and other categories. So there also he wasn’t able to get job due to his caste.

No doubt the government of any region are keeping such seat matrix for the upliftment of people. But now the caste is not the judging parameter but as per the recent circumstances ‘MONEY POWER’ is the deciding parameter for the upliftment. Also assistance should be provided to physically and mentally retarded citizens. So shouldn’t the upliftment be provided to needy poor people rather than shelling out seats based on any other factor??

I have seen many of my friends who despite of getting seats based on their caste reservation, takes seats purely based on merit. This shows their firmness in UNITY as they believe ‘WE ALL ARE EQUAL’.

I hope one day we all would unite IRRESPECTIVE OF Caste, Religion, Nationality and Race!!
