Are indian politicians flouting the right to expression as seen in "Aarakshan"

[Greatindia]

We indians have right and freedom of expressing any sort of views. And movies are also a sort of media through which the movie maker expresses his own views on a topic. It is upto the people to condemn and criticize it or praise the views. But there is no such right given to cause violence when one brings forth views as in the case of movie Aarakshan where the case presented is reservation and caste system prevalent in india. Do you think politicians are making use of such opportunities and gaining fake sympathies of some people?

Indeed yes. Politicians are making use of these dirty games of reservation for gaining sympathy of few classes of people. They claim of protecting the rights of underprivileged people where as they are actually continuing to categorize them as a separate class and using it as a tool to get political popularity.

I think we should have reservation on the basis of economic inequalities rather than social or caste inequalities. In today's world money gives a person fame! The age old social system of caste and prejudice does not prevail anymore. Therefore the ground on which reservation is given should be changed. And i agree that politicians are taking undue advantage of such powers.

Movies are a means of expressing the views, which is a means of freedom of expression and speech. The movie "Aarakshan" depicts the true picture of reservation and its effects on the general people. In my opinion reservation should be there but not on the basis of caste or religion, rather it should be on the basis of merit and economic grounds. Some meritorious students do not get the opportunity for better and higher education due to lack of financial support. Thus reservation should be for those students and not on the basis of caste or religion.
