A day without jaati is a day wasted.
Caste politics has become the lifeblood for some, and this latest moronity only proves it. Now they're pushing for reservations in Miss India and Bollywood! Personally, I have no love lost for Bollywood and these beauty peagents but this idea is so mind-numbingly idiotic that it defies reason. How much lower can this farce go? What's next? Reservations for who gets to breathe? This isn't just dumb, it's a blatant assault on common sense and merit, and a gortesque betrayal of any hope for true progress of this nation.

Pavel's situation mirrors that of Julian Assange, he either submits or faces 18 years in prison. The irony though, The EU, self-proclaimed guardian of democracy, seems to redefine free speech when it suits their agenda.
