"CHARTER OF DEMANDS"
Deferral of the proposed hike in reservation in the central universities.
AND
An Expert Commission should be formed which would explore all the avenues of affirmative actions, review the efficiency of reservation1 as an affirmative action (considering both its benefits and drawbacks) and compare the efficiencies of the all possible affirmative actions. Thus it should come up with a fool proof and time bound strategy to uplift and empower the backward sections of our country without interfering with the overall development and well being of our Nation.
Implementation of the proposed extended reservation policy and any other new reservation policy only after the commission has submitted its report.
A white paper on the reservation policy.
1 We view reservations as a limited step to provide opportunities for the backward sections of our country to acquire education and employment.
AND
Places in the Government jobs that are remaining vacant due to lack of eligible candidates from the reserved category should be opened for other eligible candidates immediately.
AND
No action should be taken against the agitating students, interns and resident doctors in any form as regards to service break, termination, pay deduction, legal action etc.
AND
The Hon’ble Prime Minister should give a concrete statement on the issue.
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY EXPERT COMMISSION?
It should be a non-political non-parliamentary commission with members from judicial, social sciences, educational, scientific background. It should be formed in15 days and should submit its report within 1 year’s time.
WHAT WOULD BE ITS AIMS AND OBJECTIVE?
To come up with a fool proof and time bound* strategy to uplift and empower the backward sections of our country without interfering with the overall development and well being of our Nation.
WHAT SHOULD IT DO?
1) It would explore all the avenues of affirmative actions.
2) It would assess the efficiency of the existing reservations taking into consideration both its benefits and drawbacks. #
3) It would compare the efficiency of other means of affirmative actions with that of reservations.
4) It should find ways other than affirmative actions, which would help in changing the socio-economic system, which breeds exploitation and inequality.
5) It should come up with socio-economic criteria, which would exclude the affluent and those already having access to jobs and higher education. **
6) It should fix parameters to determine the degree of upliftment and empowerment of the backward sections so that when adequate degree is achieved the Government should stop the policy of affirmative actions.
7) It should always keep in mind that the affirmative actions whatever suggested by the Commission should never interfere with the overall development and well being of our Nation.
*We want that whatever affirmative actions would be followed should have an end-point defined. Parameters should be defined after which there would be no need for affirmative actions in the same lines as they are being given till date.
**Creamy layer should be applied for all.
#While assessing the policy the Commission should take in account the current data about the population distribution.

Review of reservation policy should have been the first priority of any pregressive government. Simply putting 'P' in UPA does not mean that this government is progressive. Its thinking is backward, its speech is backward and it is taking the society backwards by its actions. Shame on UPA and its leaders.
When students have come forward with this demand these shameless government is not having any courage to take a forward step. Any pro-acive adminidtration will review its schemes and projects at regular intervals. 55 years is a good time period for review of reservcation policy.
As long as we have faith in your own cause and unconquerable will to will, victory cannot be denied us. We should not lose faith in ourselves and in the purpose of our cause. We must remember that the future of fifty crore people hinge on our behaviour.
Mahatma Gandhi is a good example of a man with cause. He could go weeks without food in pursuit of his cause and endure tremendous pain for the sake of his convictions. We all need to emulate Mahatma Gandhi and pledge ourselves to restoring equality in the society.
If we give up the cause history will not forgive us. The oppression on us will keep continuing. Crores of people will continue to suffer when their future will be stolen from them. Their moans of agony on being deprived of their future will curse us.
We cannot let down these young bright students of our country. We owe it to them and we should fight for their cause. We should fight for our children's cause. These young people may be our children. We should fight for our future and the future of our children.
We should fight for a good society, where everybody is treated equally. It doesn't mean not helping the poor. Every day we can work with NGO's to make the life of poor children better.
We can make all students of the country above after second year of pre-university spend their one year in community cause, but we should not let our future get destroyed.
You are right Mr. Raj. Youth are the future of India. If we want to make India a world power then we will have to nurture and develop its youth power. The name of this movement "Youth For Equality" itself shows a way which should be taken up by all Indians to create a classless society. Politicians divide the youth of Undia for their vested personal interests but the youth themselves are for equality for all.
Hi! Just want to say what a nice site. Bye, see you soon.
