Debate - Azim Premji Vs Reservations - A Cool Comment
With the Indian government in a mood to extend reservations for the SC, ST and OBC category – which is currently prevalent in public sector and educational institutions – to the private sector, the debate regarding the effectiveness of such a decision is building up.
Wipro’s Azeem Premji was one of the first from the private sector to speak out against any such initiative from the government. Economic Times is conducting an online debate on whether Premji was correct in standing against the government’s reservation policy in the private sector.
Almost all of the 82 comments posted on the debate (as on 21st April, 1420hrs) are with Premji on this issue. There was only 1 person who said that the government is correct in extending reservations to the private sector.
Here is what he had to say –
I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting Reservations. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation based on religion. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by a OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century.
We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib aktar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player. Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.
Also we should have reservation in Olimpics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.
There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians (that can really help the country.. )
Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country..)
Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward. Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country. Let's be proud of being an INDIAN..
May the good breed of politicans like ARJUN SINGH long live.
I totally agree with him!!!

Read your blog.Liked it a lot.Here is mine Pity those people !http://www.emotionalzombie.blogspot.com/
"You say, if a student knows a seat is reserved for him he is not going to work towards it. Ask yourself- If a person knows Education is subsidized for his kids, food items are subsidized for him, is he going to work? Isn’t it harming the Economy? Isn’t the highly subsidized education we avail a classic example of social injustice? "
From the Premji's talk it looks like he is against concessions given by the government. In my personal opinion, he may introspect whether he have received any concession in name of SEZ, land prices, taxes etc which other common man is not eligible otherwise. Anyway as per the forbes billionaire list he is worth 19.1 billion US dollars in 2015. If Premji think that concessions are not needed, he may think of returning some benefits he got from the govt. of India. Rather than opening offices in other countries like China after receiving support from Indian govt to build the company.
