feeding on our own paranoias on the
anti-anti-mandal???
Twice negative...does that make anything positive.

-----------------------------------------------------
Ahmedabad, 30 April 2056: I attended the bash at the
IIM-OBC Alumni Association to celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of the reservation of seats for OBCs
(Other Backward Castes) in IIMs. Since I’m not an OBC,
I was not supposed to attend, but at present, we MBFCs
(Moderately Backward Forward Castes) together with the
Non-Scheduled Tribes have a political 
alliance with the OBCs. We sipped champagne and talked
about how so many of us had progressed from reserved
seats in the IIMs to reserved jobs to reserved
promotions. Unfortunately, the party broke up when a
Non-scheduled Tribes faculty member objected to the
OBCs dancing with all the pretty girls — he wanted
equal opportunities for every caste at each dance. I
pointed out that the Non-scheduled Tribes had exceeded
the quota of champagne reserved for them. The party
ended in a pitched caste battle. 

1) May 2056: Today, I became president of the IIM
Board of Directors. Under the present rotating
presidency system, a member of each caste is made the
president by turn. When it was the turn of the MBFCs
for president, they had to choose me because I’m the
only MBFC on the campus. True, I’m only the campus
dhobi, but then every caste must be given an equal
opportunity. All those centuries of oppression by the
OSBFCs (Only Slightly Backward Forward Castes) and the
OFCs (Other Forward Castes) must be rectified. I hope
to restore the high standards at IIM — I overheard
some foreigners calling it the Indian Institute of
Morons, the other day. 

2) May 2056: They’ve announced the cricket team for
the series against Australia. I was overjoyed when
they chose an MBFC man as captain. But my hopes were
dashed when I realised he was a Most Backward Forward
Caste and not a Moderately Backward Forward Caste. The
selection committee lamented that it was gross
discrimination that no member from the Jarowa tribe
(the Stone Age tribe in the 

Andamans) had ever found a place in the Indian cricket
team. A squad has since been dispatched to the
Andamans to capture a Jarowa tribal to play in the
national team. I hope he will improve their
performance — they had an innings defeat against the
Maldives recently. I would have played myself except
for the fact that I lost a leg some years ago when I
was in hospital with a toothache and a doctor
recruited through the Unscheduled Caste quota
extracted my leg instead of my tooth. 

3) May 2056: There are too many NFCs (Neo-Forward
castes) in the IT business. Under the terms of the
Business Reservation Act, their firms will now be
taken over by the other castes. I hope they will be
able to restore the Indian IT industry back to its
former glory. For some unfathomable reason, it has
gone down the drain after job reservations were
implemented. I went for a movie featuring star actor
Mungeri Ram. He may lack teeth, be four-feet-three and
have hair growing out of his nose, but this year it’s
the turn of the EBC-RYs (Extremely Backward
Caste-Rural Yokels) to be stars and Mungeri Ram is the
best of the lot. I wonder why foreign movies have
become so popular. 

4) May 2056: A truly great day. We now have an OFBMBC
(Other Forward But Moderately Backward Caste) general
as the Head of the Armed Forces. I hope he’ll be able
to win back the territory we lost ever since
reservations were implemented in the Army. Since then,
the north has been taken by Pakistan, the North-east
by China, the east by Bangladesh and the south by Sri
Lanka and the Maldives. Only last winter, we lost the
war against Bhutan and free India is now limited to
the western coastal states. But I’m sure the OFBMBC
general will turn the tide. 

5) May 2056: My wife and I have been blessed with a
bonny daughter. Since my wife’s an SBBNSBC (Slightly
Backward But Not So Backward Caste), my daughter will
be an MBFC-SBBNSBC. I must lobby for reservation for
her caste. She’s the only member and I’m sure she has
a great future.
