THE STORY TILL NOW
17th April - BLACK DAY held in all Delhi medical colleges to show solidarity on the issue.
19th April - Demonstration held at Raj Ghat. Over 700 medical students join in.
26th April - A peaceful protest was to be held in front of HRD minister's residence. Our buses were hijacked and taken to Jantar Mantar. AIIMS and UCMS managed to reach Tughlaq Road, but were carted off to Jantar Mantar after few hours. We waited at Jantar Mantar and gave a deadline to HRD minister to come and meet us. Deadline is not met and the students then marched peacefully on Janpath. Students are barricaded, water cannoned and tear gased. Event is covered prominently on major TV channels and print media.
27th April - Demonstration at INDIA GATE. HRD minister invites our representatives to talk. 5 representatives meet him. The minister delays his comments till state elections are over. The strike by students continues though Interns and residents return to duties.
28th April- The fire has spread across the nation. Demonstrations in Bangalore, Amritsar,Ludhiana and Rajkot. Meanwhile students continue with demonstrations at India gate.
28th April - Press conference at AIIMS on behalf of Youth for equality. Youth for Equality appeals to all colleges in India to have peaceful protests in their respective cities, and support the cause. We should be in contact to have an effective mass agitation IF REQUIRED.

i feel strongly against this issue of extended reservations at level of tertiary educations.this is not the right way to uplift backward classes.if at al govt is even slightly concerned wth dev of bckwrd classes it shud provide economic help,giv them good primary educ,scholarships,books, so that merit is not compromised

Thank u for giving us students the opportunity to express our opinion.
These ministers do not have any concern about the nation. If they want to establish equality and abolish caste system, then why do they want this reservation in the name of caste and religion. the british policy of divide and rule is being continued by these politicians to generate vote banks. I strongly oppose reservations in the system of education which is strongly impeding the quality of education and the progress of the nation.To remove the caste system from the society we should first remove this reservation policy which is the culprit that is developing stupid mentality and identity of ones caste in children and hence perpetuating the caste system in the future generations.the braindrain i.e., flow of intelligence out of the country is also due to this reservations. if u don't give opportunity here for the brilliant and intelligent students in INDIAN institutions they will certainly go out of the nation and settle in foriegn lands thereby assaulting the progress of INDIA. If THE POLITICIANS ARE INDIANS THE SHOULD NOT MAKE SUCH MOVES.

i strongly support the youth for equality movement going on all over india. i am happy that unlike mandal I its not dying out becuase of lack of centralised leadership. Politicians are displaying how they are actually running our so called democracy in a totally autocratic way. with majority of people protesting against the hike in quotas they are totally unconcerned and are simply moving on with their own agendas of vote bank politics. this really makes one feel so helpless in front of the injustices being done by system. they are least bothered about addressing problems of people like water, electricity.. no actions taken in open crimes like jessica lal, nitish katara and other such cases. this system is really getting hopeless. and we should find a way to kick out all of these politicians out of our country.
