Violance in schools

Violance in schools is increasing every day. Today's newspapers carry the tale of a girl student, Dimpy Mitra, who was killed in a fall from third floor of Father Agnel School. Another story relates to Chandan Bhagat, a student of class XII at Raisina Public School, who was allegedly beaten up by the Principal with a rod. Whatever may be the reasons, whoever may be at fault, the result is death in one case and injury in the other. Are these schools, "nurseries of peace", as educational institutions have been viewed in the position paper of the National Curriculum Framework 2005. The paper has categorically stated "The school atmosphere must be kept free from violance of every kind, This includes ... violance disguised as discipline".

Who will correct this inhuman situation in schools? Arjun Singh, HRD minister? No, he is too busy in pushing 27 % reservation for OBC students in IITs, IIMs and universities. Mr.Man Mohan Singh? No, he is too busy in keeping his criminal colleagues in the cabinet together to prevent BJP coming to power.

Restricting right to vote!!

Constitution of my country gives me right to vote to elect my representative to State Assemblies and Parliament. But in my constituency my right to vote has been restricted. Under the negative instrument of reservation, my constituency has been reserved for SC candidates. This has restricted my choice. With this reservation, I have to elect a representative from SC community only. This is wrong. I want my right back.
