Chimerical echoes

There is controversy and debate all over the country, if OBC's should be given reservations in the premier institutes of our country......

All of us are familiar with the many different forms of oppression. We have at one point of time been victims as well as perpetrators of this action. ….Dictionaries defines the word as “to dominate harshly” or “to inflict stress upon”…… Truly this is the only original trait that we HUMANKIND have retained after all these years of our so called human civilization. This barbaric trait has been responsible many evils in our world and it’s recently that I came to gain an experience that enlightened me of my IGNORANCE of reality….. We in India are a very boastful sect… indeed with a culture as rich as ours we are the best symbols of progressive development of civilizations…..
