Those protesting against the reservations should consider the following views :
- Meet the vote politics on caste based reservations by the language the politicians understand i.e. votes. That is the most effective way.
- Consider taking a pledge to vote against UPA entire life untill they roll back proposed increase in reservation, appoint non-political commission to examine issue whether reservations should be continued, in what form, on what basis and how long.
- The pledge should be voluntary, honest and serious, non-political and a signed hard copy should be posted to Sonia Gandhi from all corners of the country with one copy to a central agency.
- A central website should record the number of people taking pledge in an honest manner and should publish figures to media.
- If number of people taking pledge not to vote for UPA is in thousands or lacs, the Govt. may not move but if it is in Crores, Govt. will have to move, otherwise they will be out of power in next elections.
- The very fear of losing the votes of those against the caste based votes will discourage the politicians to play with merit for their attempt to garner vote bank of OBCs.
- Poticians are dividing the people, so let us divide the politicians.
- If they can not uplift the SC/ST by 68 years of reservation, they will take more than 100 years to prolong the reservations for OBC.
- Develop proper central website, Mobilize students, rallies for mass pledge etc. rather than strike by Doctors alone.
- The format for pledge should be breif and widely circulated through SMS, E-mails, Blog, rallies, posters etc.
- Suggested draft is given below : "I pledge to vote against UPA my entire life untill the Govt. rolls back proposed increase in reservation and appoints non-political commission to examine the whole issue of reservations including its roll back over a period of time."
