Non sequitur

As pointed out in my previous post, the Dalit bloggers at The Other India have turned on moderation and deleted all comments opposed to their views. They have cleverly kept comments open for the generic posts such as the ones about the ill treatment of women in India etc. quite obviously a lot of people took the bait and posted comments which makes it appear that they have a lot of supporters. This is the most sneaky approach I have ever seen on the blogosphere. Under the pretense of being socially conscientious, they promote their vicious agenda, i.e. generation after generation of entitlement benefits for their kids.

This is what they want to communicate:

- There is a severe water shortage in rural areas in India
- Drivers get paid pathetic little in New Delhi
- Roads in Indian cities are congested
- Various atrocities are committed against women in India
- Brahmins don't marry Dalits and their matrimonial ads have spelling mistakes
- Dalit lad Sourav will leave for Italy after getting his free degree from IIT
- Prominent blogger Rashmi Bansal's aunt made a comment about caste
- A homeless woman in London has blisters on her feet

Somehow all these "problems" will go away if enlightened Dalit T.A. Abinandan's kid (and his kid and his kid and his kid ......) gets free seats at IITs and IIMs. Somehow the 300 odd OBCs that get free seats in the IIMs and the 800 odd OBCs that get free seats in IITs from next year onwards will magically make the 300 million (ballpark* figure) below the poverty line disappear (just like 50 years of reservation north of 50% in all government jobs including legislature, judiciary and administration has done).

The Dalit spammer narayan/shylock reappeared and posted another long winded comment. He steered clear of my rebuttal to their anti-merit post. I posted my views on his comment.

(*) Used the American expression so the America lovin' Dalits understand it better.

A curious tidbit: Affirmative Action is known as Positive Discrimination in England. Well, it's discrimination alright but I don't see anything positive about it.
