Differentiate to Integrate

Lets try a mathematical approach to Unity

We were all doled out the “Unity in Diversity” crap when in school. Okay, on a personal level we might be caste/region/religion-agnostic but on the whole we all tend to take the “proud of being a XYZ” a bit too far (come on, Jats are awesome, aren’t they :D).

Now on top of all the Marathi-manoos, telengana, hindu-muslim, gujjar-meena disputes, we will have to deal with the Men-Women debate too. Like we men were ever winning anyways!

A difficult, rather impossible, solution to the bloody crisis can be:

1. RESERVATION FOR ALL! (Differentiate)

Split the damn thing as much as you can. Base it on sex, religion, region and economic status (even “intellectuals” will toe the line then). Add more if conditions if you wish! The more the merrier (remember the X approaching 0 :D)

For e.g., 2% reservation for a Hindu Male Brahmin from UP with annual family income of less than INR 20,000.

2. ADD RESERVATION UP! (Integrate)

The more diverse a background the parents come from, the more reservation the kids get.

For e.g., a Hindu Male from Karnataka (1.5%) married a Hindu female from Bengal (2.2%). The male kid gets in total ~3.7% reservation. So after a family has maximized the Hindu option, they will start marrying into Muslims and so on and so forth.

100 years down the lane, those who care about reservation will get the best reservation for their kids but will be too mixed up to create a fundamentalist danger. And those who don’t care about all this, they will mix nevertheless.
