It’s turn of upper caste to suffer, TN Govt tells SC

While Salve had strong opposition to the Central Educational Institution (Reservation for Admission) Act, 2006, senior advocate K Parasaran, appearing for the Tamil Nadu Government said: “They (upper caste) dominated for centuries and now they should suffer.”

At this, the Bench said suppose only 10 per cent people were the oppressor, then why the 90 per cent people should suffer now. Salve also said it cannot be said if Brahmins have oppressed others in Tamil Nadu for years, now it was their turn.

Yea, right.. what a loser.. So, by the same logic, should we destroy the Babri Masjid and rebuild the Ram Mandir or for the matter of fact rebuild all the temples that were destroyed. We call the people who tried to do this as Hindu fanatics. Can he talk such bull $h** just ‘coz happens to be the Sr Advocate appearing for the govt. I hope its his personal opinion and not that of the government. If he has the balls, I would love to hear him, on the basis of the same logic, say, “We should punish the current muslim people b’coz their ancestors oppressed us many centuries ago and also the British as they looted our immense wealth”

The senior advocate said special provision providing quota to OBCs has to be the act of balance for social engineering. “The identification of OBC must be based on sociological and statistical data. It cannot be on personal expression, data or hunches,” he said adding that “political compulsions are driving the reservation policy.”

“Creamy Layer has no place in the reservation system,” he said maintaining that “reservation has become a measure for entrenched right.”

Salve said selection of caste for reservation would further perpetuate caste system which then would destroy the purpose of quota by way of special provision.

“If you start with caste, then ensure periodic revision for extending the benefits of reservation,” he said, adding that while moving from caste to homogeneous class, the Creamy Layer has to be excluded.

Tracing the history of reservation, Salve said in the pre-1931 Census, people used to plead to be registered as forward case and now reverse was happening.

Glad that we have good advocates like Salve and an impartial justice system
