Sir,

I am sure I wouldnt have travelled nor would I have seen the world as much you have. Though I'd hope to one day. I have enormous respect for you, and you know it. But you are absolutely wrong in saying That most marriages in India is on Love, they are arranged.

I proved the British theory wrong.
Sir,

I dont believe in communites, remember I told you about Ayn Rand and Philosophy.

Likewise you say that South Indians are kaloos and not martial. Sri Lanka proved all wrong. The so called kallo Thambis was no less than anyone else!!
Sir,

I said North Indians call South Indians Kalloos, I am south Indian and I dont call myself kaloos. I am as martial as a lawbiding citizen can get. I dont believe in martial crap, nor have I stated it anywhere.

Sir,

Yes. Love Marriages are coming out more often, but they are not definitly not the norm not by a long shot.

Adu, I have never said that is so. I have never said for or against. I don't waste time going through speculations and predictions. If there are statistics and studies done, then sure, post them. Otherwise YOU quit.

In fact in reality, it is you who are calling victimization for the fact that Reservation exists. Not me.

I suggest, as I have before if you dont like my 'vicitmized behavior' use the ignore button. I am not going to say that Casteism was not as bad as it is said by the 'reservation lobby' for your sake
Yes, Self victimization Adu. Because you cry for this unfair "casteism" yet you support it tooth and nail. I mean, look at the irony, on one hand, the pro-quota group cries and whines at being called OBC, SC/ST; but on the other hand fully supports the government to hand them freebies for being OBC, SC/STs. And this is your idea for the end of the caste system. And anyone who does not agree with you; you put up a sign, "Do not contest! Just ignore! Because I must have my way!"

A sly little gentlemen are you not?

Where I have said anything about OBC should have on reserveration. Qoute me one post. Yes, My idea of ending caste system, After Higher caste have throughly beaten them down through centuries of opperession and subjugation, and you want a level playing field; while you play with boots..and they with bare feet. No Go.

Why Dont Higher Caste give some kind of benefit as the Germans did with the jews, a monetary benefit perhaps as token of their regret for their doings on which their sons today have a better life than rest of the Indians. And after which we can have bygones be bygones and have a level playing field.

Its not me who doesnt want to hear the other side rather you doesnt want to know what has happened to these people after centuries of subjugation and opperssion.

Again, I suggest you keep the matters of other thread in the concerned thread.

Then you, sir, are a real mensch! Having once been in the abject petitioner's shoes myself, I know how officialdom takes the most minor and ancient mis-step as the basis for screwing one over perpetually. It is always heartening to read of someone who steps across the lines to even the odds a slight bit.

Adu, for you it is always,

"High Caste" = evil, traditional oppressors, punish their kids!
"Low Caste" = innocent oppressed people, put them on a pedestal!

And then you rant about ending caste system et all. The mere fact you identify yourself as an OBC is just well.. enough said!

Yes, lets keep it on the other thread then! Hijacked this thread enough.



With love,

Tronic

To lighten the tension between Ray/ Adux and Tronic:

Apart from the texture of the skin, would like to add the eyes, features and hair

Also, would like to add Sonali Bendre to the list

My wife watches this really stupid soap "Saloni ki Safar" about how life is tough for a dark-complexioned girl (the protagonist). One thing I can say, this girl, though "dark", is HOT with a capital H!!! (even my wife does not mind me saying so )

Ray Sir

I am sure you have heard the song

Krishnokoli ami tarei boli,
Kalo tare bole gayer lok
Meghla dine dekhechhilem mathhe,
Kalo meyer kalo horin chokh



Now lets get back to the slugging match

Antimony,

While that was lovely,

Indians dont have a facination for fair skin?
All our Fair and Lovely, and all the other fairness products...and the debates in NDTV with that liberal pinko Brakha Dutt is all a facade?

Tronic,

Again, Nice ploy.

Answer my question rather than whinning. I dont identify myself by OBC, I told that for the benefit of the discussion, and also it is required by the government.

have to commend you on your forum skills

Dude,

I am trying to "lighten" the tension (ha ha get that )

Of course Indians have a fascination with fair skin. Why should that stop liberated individuals like you, Tronic (not Ray Saab, he is too senior) and me from oggling at the dark skinned beauties

You hear that Ray? You're too old to oggle the ladies
