The Indian Govt is useless thanks to the crappy bunch of politians, and the outdated constitution, which is probably the worst in the world. Theres no chance tht the situatn in Indian politics will improve. Never. Good post that n i gues thats the feeling the youth emotes today.

I think it is all around us in our daily lives. Often we look at things and directly classify as black or white OR right or wrong, and label a person accordingly. We tend to focus on "whats" of actions but rarely on "why" part of it, and pass the judgment based upon this little knowledge. It is not only politics as most of the people have mentioned.

But, that doesnt help anyone and solving the problem is what should be our ultimate goal. @Supernova-ish: Actually to think of it, it is true. When something is banned, somehow doing it gives youi a kick. That holds true even in rape cases... @Nita: True. Even catching people for the heck of it and putting them behind bars is done to avoid fingers pointing at them! @Shyam: Very true! But, the reservation issue is not that simple. It has a lot many other parameters involved as well.. @Ish: Yeah true Ish. But, that doesnt help anyone and solving the problem is what should be our ultimate goal.

And these kind of short term measures create a sensation and the media reports it in a big way and thats it! Everyones happy! These politicians only think of votes.

I'd think that the rebel situation is not quite true. People do not get more encouragement to rape when some restrictions are placed. Its not like if jeans are banned, people will love to wear jeans. Something does not fit.. Hmmm…

But I think it's the pressure ultimately that forces governments to take such measures. If they try and think and chalk out a plan, everyone will think they're lazy and don't wanna take action. But if they take action immediately, every one thinks they're good and the problem is solved. It happens everywhere. It's just called buckling under pressure in simple words. Didn't they do the same thing with the cheerleaders in Mumbai? They did, because they were forced to. You’re right.
