How equal is equality....

Some latest developments around the globe made me think about equality....Now everyone cries for equality at every walk of life...right from a place to sit on the bus...to a seat at a premiere educational institution...hell even at work place you have people getting reservations all in the name of equality...people wanna be treated equally...but look for reservations....this is like saying...2 guys are running a 100 meter race...one fellow (the faster of the two)is at the starting line while the other (the slower of the two duhhh!!!)is starting from 50 meters down....fair game!!!!...i started pondering about this...after cracking my head for a bit i came up with something which is my perception of equality...

the way i see it(an am not saying this is right an others should also advocate this)...you can truly say you are in an equal opportunity society...the day when there are no reservations....there is a single line at the ticketing counter...an "Indian" competes for one of the 100(could be more) seats up for grab at star engineering college (Could be any college or university)rather than 1 or 2 (after the reservations...10% s for SCST...20% is for minority...30% is for other minorities...20% is for Muslims...20% is management quota....you end up with one or two seats only)...vallavan (could be any public transportation system) does not have indications like "ladies"(not being an MCP here...i for one believe women are not just equal to men but are a step ahead).....the list is endless....

think otherwise....that means your just not equal with me(you are either ahead or behind....)
