Reservation politics and Media

These days media is abuzz in all its forms to take on the "anti-reservation" coverage nation-wide. It is indeed disheartening to see the kind of coverage given to these protests and rallies. I could see only one pro-reservation rally being given some coverage in bangalore wherein the effigy of narayan murthy was burnt.

The need is to find some alternative to make the voices of pro-reservation junta reach every nook and corner of the country and one of the possible and viable alternative (atleast in academic and other similar institution) that I could think of, are blogs. I have come across blogs which speak of the issue sensitively . The links of these blogs are;

Reservation and Merit
Mandal-II: It's the age of pro-reservation bloggers
The Superposition of enogamy on exogamy means the creation of caste

There is also an interesting article by satish deshpande and yongendra yadav in 'The Hindu' which talks of a scheme. The authors offer a scheme to ensure merit and social justice.The links for the articles are as under;

Meeting the challenge of Mandal-II
Reservation-an alternative proposal

Having read the articles, I would say these are the most thoughtful and well substantiated arguments that I have come across on the issue and I suggest , its a must read stuff.
