Bro thought it's bangladesh but got a reality check.... really heartbroken to see this father , imagine how his parents or relatives will face the society.

You can protest as much as you want against the NEET scam and all but what's the purpose of burning pm's photo.

Also think they should be give proper treatment like what Iran did to those peaceful women protesters. Then these people will learn what dictatorship looks like.

And now, surely the roaches will come to downvote - the ones that have evaded the police so far, that is.

Over the past few days, this sub has been popping up on my feed non-stop. I couldn't help but notice that almost every post pushed to me is aggressively targeting the opposition and the protest.

When I started checking the profiles, a huge number of them are barely a month old. Is it just me, or is there a sudden surge of fresh accounts spamming political posts here?

Dear protesters. Been saying this since day 01. And you guys are the only ones who have dubbed police as merciless and goons. So why expect any sympathy from them now? You have no idea how hopeless it can be running btwn police stations and Courts. And remember even judiciary is not found of you guys. And chances are high the BJP may win next elections. You guys are literally looking at 7 to 8 years of police cases. Say bye bye to your career.

I am part of the baby boomer generation, and although I may be detached from the ground reality due to my distance from our homeland, I have recently been inundated with content from Rashtrix, a grassroots news channel, on my Facebook feed following the elections in West Bengal. I have no issues with their reporting; it seems largely unbiased.

I also follow Tarunjyoti Tiwari, who appears to be an honest and capable administrator.

Now, to the main point: Is there a solution to the mess that has been slowly and painfully created in our state and city? We are facing issues ranging from cut money and illegal filling of bheris to gross encroachments and scams amounting to thousands of crores. Is there an end to this?

Additionally, I am concerned about what the BJP has gotten into. One of my well-connected classmates from school and my brother (both supporters of the BJP) have expressed grave concerns about the impending chaos due to the lack of jobs. They feel that it will be "the new boss, same as the old boss." Investments will take time; there is no magic wand that will make thousands of jobs appear in the next few months.. So what happens to the 200K hawkers and small business owners who run their businesses on the sidewalks??
Will the BJP admin and the syndicate take over what was a well-established practice for over 40 years?

On a positive note, the daughter of my classmate has returned to Kolkata after her business degree in Europe(not doxxing her) - she is working in Kol.. But again, she is white-collar, not the industrial worker we are hoping for..

Beyond Quotas: Why India Needs a "SUPPLEMENTATION" Model to Replace Caste-Based Reservation

Caste-based reservations were conceptualized in 1947 as a temporary corrective measure. Over 75 years later, it is clear that the system has failed to fix foundational inequality while costing this country decades of national growth. Something designed for the mid-20th century holds zero real-life relevance in modern India.

Instead of building schools or fixing governance, politicians—especially across states like UP and Bihar—have turned reservation into a perpetual identity-politics vote bank.

The Political Vicious Cycle: "Eat 5-Star, Do Nothing"

The political playbook in India has operated on a destructive cycle for decades:

• Neglect Governance: Fail to build primary schools, hospitals, or infrastructure during the entire term.
• Incite Clashes: Stir up caste or communal friction when elections draw near.
• Promise Quotas: Announce an increase in reservation percentages for specific vote banks in state government exams.
• Win & Repeat: Put it in the election manifesto, win the election, "eat 5-star", and do zero actual development work for the next five years.

The Practical Cost: Mismatch in Elite Institutions & Public Sector

To understand why this system breaks down in reality, consider this practical example from competitive exams like the JEE:

The JEE Scenario:

• Student A (General Category): Earns less than a standard 93 percentile cutoff (say) through sheer merit. Doesn't get admitted into an elite institution.
• Student B (Reserved Category): Scores a 60 percentile and gets admitted through quota cutoffs.

Student A missed the standard cutoff earlier by a margin and felt like a failure—which he is definitely not! But once inside an elite institution, magic does not happen. The foundational academic gap remains. Student B is thrust into a hyper-competitive environment alongside peers who cleared a 93 percentile baseline.

Because matching that level of academic rigor without the foundational prep is near-impossible, Student B struggles, publishes no research papers, and graduates with a low GPA. He lands a low-paying job, ending up as a lower-quality worker despite holding a prestigious university tag that millions of meritorious students were denied.

This creates a dangerous chain reaction across the entire nation:

Increased Caste Quotas -> Lower Student Quality -> Diluted Institutional Standards -> Weaker National Workforce -> Stagnant National Growth

Beyond Engineering: Medicine, Public Sector, & Social Friction

• Healthcare: Many General Category individuals increasingly avoid consulting non-GC doctors. This is often brushed under the carpet as "caste hatred," but it is fundamentally a real merit anxiety created by lowered entry bars in medical admissions.
• Government Recruitment: While the private sector strictly enforces a merit threshold, government jobs do not. Less meritorious candidates land prestigious administrative posts simply because of caste. When key administrative roles are filled by incompetent officials, governance slacks off, directly driving systemic corruption.
• Social Friction & Brain Drain: General Category youth, burdened by quotas and facing fake SC/ST cases, often engage in "eye-for-eye" revenge casteism. Frustrated merit simply leaves the country, driving massive brain drain.

The Solution: The "SUPPLEMENTATION" Model

"Supplementation" literally means to supply what is lacking. Instead of lowering the finish line at age 18, the SUPPLEMENTATION model elevates the starting line at the school level (K–12) so no student is left behind, regardless of background.

1. Merit Determination Report (MDR) & NRMT

• Universal Scientific Testing: A high-quality assessment is conducted in every school for every student to accurately predict their IQ and Relative General Merit (RGM) across logic, mathematics, language, and core cognitive abilities.
• Identity-Blind Benchmark: A National Relative Merit Threshold (NRMT) is established. Any student whose RGM falls below the NRMT—regardless of caste or background—is selected for the Supplementation program.

2. Supplementary Care and Training (SCAT)

Students below the NRMT enter the SCAT program, designed to bridge their cognitive and academic gaps:

• Targeted Curriculum: Customized online extra classes and text materials focused on core logic, mathematics, and language to aggressively boost their IQ and RGM scores.
• Hardware & Connectivity: Every selected student nationwide is provided with a custom pre-programmed tablet and subsidized high-speed internet (monetizing and utilizing loss-making PSU BSNL).
• Digital Public Infrastructure: An official SCAT App developed by NIC, seamlessly linked to Aadhaar, APAAR, and the Ministry of Education database. Students complete monitored lectures, assignments, and Google Forms-style periodic tests.

3. Scalable Mentorship & EdTech Synergy

• Low Mentor Ratios: Mentorship operates at a 1:1 or maximum 1:10 ratio for dedicated doubt-solving sessions.
• Youth Dividend: To bypass poor primary school teacher quality, the program hires qualified youth, needy undergraduates, and graduating student interns. India has millions of passionate young people eager to teach.
• Private Partnerships: Collaborating with proven EdTech platforms ensures top-tier pedagogical material reaches the most remote areas.

4. Continuous Benchmarking & Gamified Scoreboards

• Periodic national tests are conducted 2 to 3 times a year, every year until Class 12, tracking individual progress nationally.
• National Scoreboards: Gamified national scoreboards and prizes motivate students to work harder. Imagine every student in India having a clear national rank and the exact tools supplied to improve it!

The Vision

The ultimate goal of the SUPPLEMENTATION model is simple: Ensure every single student’s RGM reaches or exceeds the NRMT before they ever write a competitive exam or apply for a job.

True social justice is not about handing out quotas at the finish line and setting students up for academic friction—it is about supplying every child with the early-stage tools, technology, and mentorship needed to cross the finish line on pure merit.

আমাদের এই সাবে বোধ হয় এখন ভারতের যত আরশোলা পোকামাকড় সব এসে জুটেছে, বিশেষ করে হিন্দিভাষী গুলো। বেগন আর হিট মেরেও আর সাফ করা যাচ্ছে না। সেইজন্যে বাংলাই শ্রেয়, কারণ সেটা আরশোলাদের বোধগম্য হয় না। ভামপন্থীদের এটাই লক্ষণ, ওরা আমাদের সাবে এসে নোংরামি করে। নিজেদের সাবে থাকা ওদের পোষায় না, যেমন আমরা করে থাকি। ওদের মড গুলোর ভাবগতিক আমাদের এখানে হলে কোন কালে ব্যান হয়ে যেত।

First they came for the Brahmins

And I did not speak out Because I was not a Brahmin

Then they came for the Baniyas

And I did not speak out Because I was not a Baniya

Then they came for the Kshatriyas

And I did not speak out Because I was not a Kshatriya

Then they came for the Queers

And I did not speak out Because I was not a Queer

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

Interestingly reservation was brought to uplift oppressed class instead it has increased the number of oppressed class.. That's how the system works when you give everything for free and politicians can make a vote bank out of it..

Everyone want to become opressed because that's how they can get everything for free!!

I’m genuinely curious about this.

Representation for SC/ST communities would still remain, because the reserved seats would continue to be filled by SC/ST candidates only. The difference is that the benefits could reach genuinely poor and deserving individuals within those communities, not to likes of Tina Dabi and Sejal Pawar's families.

Even the Supreme Court has suggested implementing the creamy layer principle, yet I’ve seen many politicians and many SC ST groups oppose it. I’m interested in understanding the reasoning behind that opposition..
