We are poor, better say beggars. We belong to backward cast. Poverty is our common mate. We stay in a mud house (hut). We suffer from starvation, Blah…Blah….. Blah…..
Feed us. Give us loans. Make our houses concrete. Give our children free admission, books and uniforms, Blah…. Blah…. Blah…..
Confused…..? I just want to say how actual poor are struggling to survive, but some prosperous poor are enjoying all the benefits of Government schemes that are made for improvement of poor and backward people.
But, we want to be poor very poor, want to born in a schedule cast family in all our next birth. God, please make us poor, make us poor in our every next birth. We want a BPL cards. We want free education. We want free admission. We want reservation for us at schools, at colleges, at universities and at Government and private jobs. Poverty is our good luck and we are proud to be poor.
In simple, people are opting to be poor for ever now days. Because, Government gives them easy loans, rice at ` 2 per kilo, free electricity, free education, free uniforms, free cycles, free houses and employment guarantee.
We are well settled, but our cast is the certificate that we are poor. Our children have books, they use cell phones and computers still we want reservations for them at schools and universities. Because our cast certifies that we are less intelligent, less talented than others. We celebrate our prosperity by utilizing our poverty. We are proud to be poor and will remain poor for ever.

A thought provoking post.
One should also add while asking that they be born specifically in India because this can happen only in India!
Yeah, and the same goes for the caste based reservations as well. We want to be from a lower caste so that we can get all the reservations. It does not matter if we are well off than the others, we just want to enjoy the "facilities" it provides.
I agree with Ayyangar that this specific prayer should also be added! I could feel the disgust and disenchantment in the words. Well written!
true thoughts...
i actually feel ashamed to read this post...bcoz im one among the above mentioned lot enjoying all the benefits in the name of reservation while my parents can very well afford to provide me with whatever i need...
all i can say is...its all up to us...the next generation now...to have the morality to say... no caste no religion...
all of us should feel shame if we are asking resevation or applaing for reservation..We r not beggers and govermanet is not our god. why we are waiting for govts help in the mode of reservation. All of us should stop ticking SC, ST, OBC and tick on general catogory. Our origin is same , so we are ll same family and so we can;t say that we are uper or lower cast...our work may differ based on our talent but it doent means that we are higher or smaller....?I always show myself uper cast and never ask for reservation because Idont want to hurt my EGO...and self respect...
