Some important points the bench made:

“SC has stayed the order on the Act saying to the Centre, ‘Don’t divide the country only because of your vote bank’ and that 'the consequences of this quota would be very bad'."

The Bench stated that Section 6 of the Constitution was not applicable since no data on OBCs has been collected in the last 76 years.

The Bench said that the OBC quota was just vote back politics and said it was forced to take the decision against the Government as the Government did not implement the SC's last two orders.

The Bench, reprimanding the Centre, also said that the Centre should stay away from dividing the society on caste basis and should behave in a more responsible way. It said the Government's decision to implement the quota system was full of flaws.

ASHA PROJECTS:Where does all the money go?

ASHA PROJECTS:Where does all the money go? by Nirupama Rajan and Radha Rajan

This chapter is Chapter 8 in the book “NGOs, Activists and Foreign Funds: Anti-nation Industry” (Ed. Radha Rajan and Krishen Kak, Vigil Public Opinion Forum, 2006) and focuses on foreign funds received by Sandeep Pandey’s ASHA. In this chapter, we will be looking at some of the projects that ASHA has funded in India by raising money from across the U.S and Europe. And yet, Sandeep Pandey when questioned about ‘foreign funds’, refused the claim and declared that ‘on principle’ he was against foreign funds. We present the news report that carried Sandeep Pandey’s preposterous claim at the end and present tChapter 8 of the Vigil book online for readers to judge for themselves not only ASHA’s accounting practices but also the motives behind awarding the Magsaysay.
