The Gujjar Menace
Written on May 27, 2008 by Sid
From what I hear, the Gujjars are at it again.
I don’t understand this really. If a community are dumb enough to almost literally hold a nation to ransom over a change in their reservation status, for facilities that are archaic and of no real use, what value to they really add? The answer to that is probably colored with the philosophies of votebank politics. If they’ve go the numbers, they must be good people.
Guess our politicians must be totally against safe sex for certain communities - “grow man grow… then vote for me”.
Most thinking people probably despise them and chances are, the rest do too. When I see cars in Delhi with stickers loudly proclaiming ‘Gujjar Boy’ or something similar, I actually grimace and wonder if they’re making a power statement (We can screw your happiness and supplies anytime we want) or are they berating themselves (I’m part of a community that knows no civic sense and are so dumb, we require special reservations)? Guess they think they’re doing the former but actually indulging in the latter.
I’m in the UK now and actually feel ashamed of my country when I hear such news. I wonder when we’ll drag ourselves out of this mire and who will help us do it?
