4th Dimension

Before discussing anything, let me share some questions raised in my mind this week, why do parents, teachers, leaders, boyfriends, girlfriends etc. care for us? Thinking on word care provided me an unorthodox answer which I would like to share. From a day we are born we have been controlled by various emotions, roles, institutions and culture at large. Various emotions under the name of care, expectations or desires control our behavior at every stage of our life. For instance mother stopping or forcing her child to do something which she emotionally, culturally or socially feels not good for her child. Similarly, in every institution humans are bond to perform certain roles as per individual capacity and ability like in marriage, family, education or religious institutions. These institutions are said and meant to control our behavior and thoughts in society and necessary for survival of culture at certain level which again impose greater control over our behavior and thoughts.

If we look at today’s society its broadly divided into two basic communities the owner community and the worker community (labor community, including managers also).owner community in Marxian perspective is ruling class which owns forces of production and tends to exploit (make optimum utilization – that’s what they calls) worker community and therefore conflict of interest between these two communities are observed in market. These owner communities control various institutions like economy, politics, religion etc. in society. In feudal era two main classes distinguished by their relationship with forces of production similarly in today’s era we can see owner community (capitalists) has control over all means of production while working community has control over only labor. The laborer in economy must sell his labor power to survive as he does not have means to produces goods independently. Owner community or capitalists depends on labor power and working community depends on cap

Whoever is part of India (Indian) had must thought about reservation policies at least twice in his life time.  What a big deal?? We are now habituated with such political policies which can be raised and suppressed as per the political needs of our ‘representatives’. Studying and working with esteemed government education institutions allowed me to observe picture more clearly and differently (that’s what I think). Reservations policies aim to uplift that population stratum which comes ‘at the end’ of Indian society which includes scheduled castes, scheduled tribe and religious minorities.  Providing reservations in education and employment is argued as it provides opportunities to suppressed populace and bring equality into society. What a wonderful plan laid down by the constructors of this nation- Keep certain things reserved for your poor younger brother!!! People coming under reservati
