please understand OBC is not minority( they are backward ).......in % they are higher than Muslim...technically brahmin are minority ,their population is less than 5%Their demand s is either give them quota or finished the quota system given to minorities.
Under Modi, Indian secular and harmonious fabric is ripped and raped. This is just the beginning, in future, I see attacks coming on Muslims as well.

AHMEDABAD: Eight people, including a policeman, have died in the violence that erupted in several parts of Gujarat after the brief detention of 21-year-old Hardik Patel on Tuesday night in Ahmedabad. The city is tense and the Army has been called in to restore law and order.
Here are the 10 latest developments in this big story:
- Five people died last night in Ahmedabad, two of them allegedly in police firing after protesters clashed with cops. Two people were killed in Palanpur in north Gujarat today, both allegedly in police firing. A policeman who was injured during the morning's clashes in Surat, has also died.
- There is a curfew in several parts of Ahmedabad. Schools and colleges were closed on Wednesday and will remain closed on Thursday. The Army held flag marches in different parts of the city.
- Curfew has also been imposed in Surat, which is tense after incidents of arson, damage to government property and clashes this morning. Schools and colleges will remain closed in Surat on Thursday.
- Ten columns of the army and 53 companies of paramilitary forces, besides the Gujarat Police, have been called in to control violent mobs in Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Morbi, Vadodara, Mehsana and Banaskantha.
- Nine trains cancelled which includes Rajdhani and Ashram Express from Ahmedabad to Delhi; 19 trains had their routes truncated, and five trains have been diverted.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for calm in the state. "Violence does not benefit anybody," the PM said in an appeal on television, adding, "We must work together to solve problems through talks".
- Hardik Patel was detained briefly by the Ahmedabad police last night. He is leading a movement by the powerful Patel or Patedar caste that wants reservation in government jobs and colleges. Mr Patel had called for a bandh or strike all over the state today.
- The state government led by Chief Minister Anandiben says that's not possible because Gujarat has already hit a 50 per cent cap on reservation, a limit imposed by the Supreme Court.
- More than a 100 buses were set on fire overnight and property damaged in the violence in Ahmedabad, Surat and Mehsana cities and the towns of Unjha and Visnagar, local officers said. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has assured Chief Minister Anandiben Patel of all help.
- Internet services on mobile phones have been suspended in some parts of the state to check the spread of rumours through WhatsApp and SMS. Internet can be accessed on computers in homes and offices.

When this system of reservation was devised some 70 years back, nobody thought it will be such a big problem for us.This is silly, protesting for qouta instead of better schools. That is why poor people stays poor. If this is the future of India......

just another case of abdullah diwana . ignore the idiots.Most of the Non-Indian posters have no idea, have comprehension problem. No body knows the reason, just saw the headline and some burnt vehicles......and sat to type conclusions!!
Yeah, there are consequences like Malays too over represented in the Government while non-Malays are favored in the private sector.When this system of reservation was devised some 70 years back, nobody thought it will be such a big problem for us.
At first, I used to think reservations based on caste/ethnicity is something unique to India. Then I found out, it happens elsewhere too. It is prevalent in Malaysia too, isn't it ?
In any case, we are going to handle it.
Yeah.. saw that..I was in Malaysia earlier this year. My driver, a very nice lady, she used to talk all the time about discriminations in jobs. Her daughter is doing some course on Tourism in Kuala lumpur university.Yeah, there are consequences like Malays too over represented in the Government while non-Malays are favored in the private sector.
