Arjun Singh (5 November 1930 – 4 March 2011)
Leader who implemented reservation in education in Central Universities for OBC
The birth Anniverssary of late Arjun Singh more matters for the Other Backward Classes more than others:
"Remembering Late Arjun Singh ( (5 November 1930 – 4 March 2011), the Union Minister of Human Resource Development in the UPA-I, who implemented the Mandal Commission's recommendations at the Central universities and Research Institutes in 2006 in accordance with the 93rd Constitutional Amendment. By doing this he became a villain for mainstream media.
Brushing aside all these anti reservationist protests, he stood firmly against over-exaggerated anti-Mandal agitations. He paid a huge price for implementing Mandal-2, forced him for too early political exile.
He did what his heart thought for the upliftment of nearly 60 percentage of Indians and for inclusive Indian democracy.
Today, our OBC students are studying to a minimum of 27% in higher educational institutions like IIT, IIM and AIIMS, thanks to Mr.Arjun Singh’s efforts in bringing a legislation providing 27% reservation to OBCs.
Like Mr.V.P.Singh, the media and the upper castes denounced him. But our OBC youth should remember his sincere service to the society.
Not only Mr.Arjun Singh was for upliftment of deprived sections, he was against the fundamentalist forces as well.
AIOBC Federation salutes Arjun Singh. Long Live Arjun Singh.
