Backward classes and Backward Government.

Income ceiling for creamy layer raised. Yet another investment on votes, by our Government !

Government on last Friday raised the income ceiling for the creamy layer, from 2.5 lakhs to 4.5 lakhs annually. They say, it is to cover more OBC under the reservation category.

I hate to comment on such biased actions and misuse of power for political gains. However, as I am feeling very bad about this, let me put a few words.

Who is backward ? Is a person (family) earning Rs.20,000/- a month backward ? Now with the raise, persons earning about Rs. 40,000/- month also is backward !

I can’t digest this. I am sure these people are no way backward. Instead, they are very rich ! Look at the poor who finds it difficult to have a one time meal a day.

Is this the way to bring about Secularism or Social and economic equality ? Is it an action by a Secular Govt ? I doubt. This action is solely to favor a few communal groups , aimed at their votes. The decision makers are certainly “backward” in their intelligence, vision and secular thoughts.


Give reservations to the real financially backward. Not for such wealthy people. That’s injustice. This injustice would lead to many more social issues.
