Re: [IAC#RG] Ashish Nandy - "people from OBC, SC and ST communities most corrupt"

What is a man who cannot express himself correctly in english doing in a litfest? He says he was misquoted and words were taken out of context! Any one who hears what he said on TV was very clear. If he has no basic ability to say waht he wants to express and now says that he meant the opposite he must be unworthy of such honours. Perhaps his"Intellectual Society connections" are enough.

On facts--- he claimed that Bengal was least corrupt as it was never ruled by OCs BCsand STs! How prepostrous! Andhra Pradesh was also never so ruled- (except short period 50 years ago when a mild mannered Sanjivayya was CM). It has turned out to be the most corrupt state with former CMs son and quite some IAS officers injail and many more on the brink?

Off the cuff "Superior" sounding remarks are the privelege of our intellectuals!

Jaipur/New Delhi: Noted author Ashis Nandy on Saturday kicked up a storm with his comments that people from OBC, SC and ST communities were the "most corrupt", remarks that came under all round attack.

Hours after Nandy made the remarks at the ongoing Jaipur Literature Festival, an FIR was lodged with the police against him in Jaipur under Section 506 IPC (criminal intimidation) and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes(Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The FIR was filed by Rajpal Meena, Chairperson of the SC/ST Rajasthan Manch and the matter will be investigated, police said.

"It is a fact that most of the corrupt come from OBCs and Scheduled Castes and now increasingly the Scheduled Tribes," he said participating in a session at the Festival.
