What We Stand For

The Govt of India has recently decided to implement 27% caste based reservation  in all higher educational  institutes in the country.  While we have our personal opinions on whether reservation in any form is good or bad, we unanimously believe that the current POLICY and IMPLEMENTATION is wrong,  not backed by facts or figures and motivated only by caste based vote politics. 

Various organizations and individuals have urged the Govt to justify its move and  provide more transparency on this policy, which is going to directly affect many people and influence the social and economic future of the country. Lack of  any response from the Govt on the above demands has raised concerns that the policy may be motivated by personal agenda rather than national interest.  (see Interview with HRD minsiter)

The goal of this group is to unite together and send a strong signal to the Govt of India that in a democracy, people want more visibility to Govt. decision making. Our aim is  to urge the Govt to justify whatever policy it comes up with, and to back it with facts and figures.

Let us unite together and show solidarity to thousands of people actively protesting in India and send a strong message to the hitherto deaf Indian Govt that Indians all over the globe unanimously oppose its non-transparent functioning on this issue.    

Please turn up in large numbers and strenghen our stand with your support. Indian media will be hugely covering the event.
