First, these two justices proved that they do not care about Indian industry, by shockingly, forcing private hospitals to treat poor patients for free (going against Indian constitutional law). Their message was clear – Indian Industry – you have to cover up for the inefficiencies, lack of resources and lack of foresight of the Indian Government. The Supreme Court showed itself to be no friends of business (or of the poor for that matter – decisions such as this harm all of society – not just the targeted businesses).

Not satisfied with penalizing the creative entrepreneurial energies of Indians, they went after the youth – the promise of the next generation of doctors, scientists, engineers. This time, their message was equally deplorable – Forget merit, we do not care if you are meritorious. Your seat WILL be GIVEN away to OBC candidate – even if he/she is not deserving of the same.

If the highest legal authority in India is this confused about the reservation issue, there is little hope for the Indian youth. Reservation SHOULD NOT mean giving seats blindly! It should allow for equal distribution of opportunity – i.e. – allow OBC students to compete on the same footing as everyone else. There cannot be any guarantee of seats. The OBC candidates have to get the same marks as anyone else to get the seat. Less marks – means less qualified – means less of a doctor/engineer/scientist. Surely these Chief Justices worked hard to get where they are today. I wonder if they would step down and vacate their posts for someone less qualified – just because of their OBC status? Any takers – Justice Raveendran? Justice Patnaik?

Thought as much! It is much easier to pontificate from your high berth – from where you are systematically dismantling the bright future of India. To me, there is NO EXCUSE that Supreme Court justices ( the highest upholders of law in the country) can support such a patently unfair and damaging policy such as reservation!
