Caste based reservation in sports !

The Punjab Govt is thinking of introducing caste based reservation in sports. Well, why not, I say. When you can have caste based reservations for admissions into educational institutions and for getting selected for jobs, I guess this is a logical extension.

Curiously enough, it no longer upsets me. Now, I only have a morbid curiosity to see how much farther our politicians will take this game and how much longer it will take our people to realize they are in fact being pushed further and further into an abyss.

Actually, you know what; it may be a good idea to see reservation being enforced in sports, especially in our national cricket team. If that happens, given the visibility the cricket team has in this country, maybe the people will witness the sudden dip in quality and be jolted out of their stupor. If that's what it takes to make our people see light, so be it.


Heck, no, wait a second. Even without reservation, the performance of the Indian team has hit rock bottom; so reservation may actually help !!!

So much for that idea....!
