The death of merit. The obliteration of the soul of this country’s youth. The initiation of catastrophe. Welcome to the beginning of the end. No where in the history of our country has truth been murdered so methodically and brutally, the fair and just were trampled over, and the deserving were crushed to submission, like today. Each one of you will remember how this country’s destruction began. Today as we speak the honorable HRD Minister, in his implacable and idiotic stance<\/a>, has destroyed any hope for the youth of this country. Joining him in this dance of death is our honorable Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, Meira Kumar: she says<\/a> that the private sector has a couple of years to ring in death knell and make the process of wreckage complete.
The government as a whole has reiterated their affinity to this utter disaster by refusing to discuss the quota issue. We are done, if we do go through with the suggested quota policy. The one-eyed men will rule this country of the blind, while those that see will sail to foreign shores or simply quit<\/a>. We will miss you. We are sorry. God help us.<\/p>\n
