Subject: Ban Quota - Say no to reservations - Manish Syal

Hello Pooja Shah,

You are receiving this email from BanQuota.com <http://www.banquota.com> on
behalf of Manish Syal.

The Government of India has recently indicated that it will increase the
caste based quota for seats in engineering, medicine and management schools.
The current quota levels stand at 22.5% for the lower castes, tribal people
and other backward castes (OBCs). The Government wants to increase this to
49.5%. .

The National Knowledge Commission, a group of expert advisers to Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh, voted 6-2 against widening caste quotas in higher
education. The big worry for many is that the next step would be to force
private industry to accept caste based quotas at a time when global
competition is causing many to sink. .

You can support us by joining in our fight against the quota system. You can
make a difference by raising your voice by signing the online petition
<http://www.banquota.com/signpetition.aspx> on BanQuota.com. Remember, the
time to act is NOW. Waiting for others to take action will result in the
movement losing its momentum. So let us all unite and fight the quota
system..

We sincerely hope that you will support this cause be signing the petition.

Please forward this mail to your friends, family and co-workers.

Regards,
