27% Reservation for OBCs in Central Educational Institutions

Recently the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court consisting of five judges has upheld the validity of 93rd Constitutional Amendment and the subsequent Act providing for 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in Central government educational institutions.
The relevant Act, Act 5 of 2007, clearly states that 27 per cent of the seats should be reserved for Other Backward Classes in all the Central educational institutions, and also says that the Union Government would identify who the OBCs are.

Supreme Court upholds law

The Supreme Court on 10-4-08 upheld the law enacted by the Centre in 2006 providing a quota of 27 per cent for candidates belonging to the Other Backward Classes in Central higher educational institutions. But it directed the government to exclude the ‘creamy layer’ among the OBCs while implementing the law. The institutions will include the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institutes of Management.
A five-Judge Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan thus paved the way to giving effect to the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, 2006, from the academic year 2008-2009. The unanimous verdict runs to over 500 pages.

Endless Blabber

Religion and god are tools to make man a fool. The efforts the Brahmins and Sankarachariars (the heads of religious mutts) taken to propagate religion will convince you that it is meant to fool people.
God is not a device invented to promote human welfare. It is a device used to make them fools. Sun and moon, fire and air, water and earth etc were not invented by any man. Man found out only the names of these entities. They need no explanation. We don’t argue in the form of cause and effect to be aware of their existence. Every one has to know about them and experience the impact of their being.

US Religious Identity

America has always been a competitive religious marketplace, but a major survey released on Feb, 25, 2008 shows a country increasingly exploring different faith identities and ways of worship. More than 40 percent of respondents told pollsters that they had changed their religious affiliation since child-hood.
Experts say the growth of religious minorities, American mobility and intermarriage are key fac-tors in the churn documented in the Religious Landscape

Rush of the Gods

India today is teeming with millions of educated, relatively well-to-do men and women who enthusiastically participate in global networks of science and technology. The Indian economy is betting its fortunes on advanced research in biotechnology and the drug industry, whose very existence is a testament to the naturalistic and disenchanted understanding of the natural world. And yet a vast majority of these middle-class beneficiaries of modern science and technology continue to believe in supernatural powers supposedly embodied in idols, “god-men” or “god-women,” stars and planets, rivers, trees and sacred animals. By all indications, they treat supernatural beings and powers with utmost earnestness and reverence and go to great lengths to please them in the hopes of achieving their desires.

The gruesome drama lasted from 9pm to 10.30pm.
