He just wanted us to know his name

When I switched on the tv a few days back, the news channels were teeming with the footage of Varun Gandhi's Pilibhit speech. A number of things came to my mind when I saw that:

1. Ok... this is Varun GANDHI. 

2. What a wannabe speech and how much time had he spent learning it so there's no mistake. 

3. How happy he must feel with all the adulation (at that moment) that had so far been reserved for his cousins.

I don't think he meant what he said. For a number of reasons... the most important being his half-sikh descent. I do think he was stupid enough to be used as a pawn... now he is the poster-boy of hate... a mini-Modi. A silly preppie who went to a village and got carried away by the applause and the cheering which he had earlier only seen on TV when Rahul and Priyanka addressed rallies. He just wanted to be as famous as Didi and Bhaiyya. 

soon... we shall revisit the mandal commission...

India is a country of High intellectual capital. I like this statement. For it shows so much promise and soon it will be history. For their will be greater reservations. Merit will take a back seat. In this regressionist country we will all be left to watch the decline of a nation for a 'populist' measure of a corrupt polity.How dificult is it to understand that people should get a position / a seat for what they are worth and not who they were born as. Not because 200 years ago their forefathers were trampled upon. we are a great country...unique and ingenious... ready to sacrifice our future for obnoxious memories of the past. What happened was unfortunate. Whats hapening now is a catastrophe. This is insane.This reservation bill will be the last nail in the coffin of a promising nation... for this wouldnt even leave the brain to drain...
