    Reservation Policy in India

    Uploaded by

    p
    The reservation system in India aims to improve opportunities for underprivileged communities through affirmative action in education and employment. It began with the Indian constitution to address discrimination and unequal treatment faced by scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and other backward classes. However, the reservation system has been controversial since its introduction and remains a point of conflict in India. While the constitution guarantees equality of opportunity, the current criteria of reserving quotas based on caste and religion is considered by some to be unfair and has led to the system being exploited for political gains at the expense of national development. Alternatives proposed include using economic status alone as the basis for reservation or overcoming the caste system entirely as other developed countries have done.

    What is Reservation ?

    Reservation in India is a form of affirmative action designed


    to improve the well-being of perceived backward and under
    -represented communities defined primarily by their 'caste'
    (quota-system based on 'gender' or 'religion') is a phenome
    non that commenced with the coming into force of the Indi
    an Constitution.
    " The main objective of the Indian reservation system is to
    increase the opportunities for enhanced social and educat
    ional status (in the sense better than the previous—until it
    becomes equal to that enjoyed by an average member of ot
    her communities) of the underprivileged communities an
    d, thus, enable them to take their rightful place in the mai
    nstream of Indian society.
    Reservation in History
    The reservation system has been a matter of contention
    ever since it was first introduced in the British occupied
    India and remains a point of conflict-nay, a form of prot
    ectionism. A common form of discrimination, within h
    umanity, in India is the practice of untouchability. Back
    ward Classes (STs, SCs) are the primary targets of this m
    edieval practice-a practice, which is outlawed by the Co
    nstitution of India. An untouchable person is considere
    d, "impure or a lesser human."

    dition, gender but it is neither sufficient nor fair.

    es to every person “equality befo opportunity in matters of public e
    re the law” and “equal protectio mployment, etc.

    mote with special care the educatio
    Article 15 prohibits discriminatio n and economic interests of the wea

    of religion, race, caste, sex, place articular of the scheduled castes an
    of birth, etc. d the scheduled tribes, and shall pro
    tect them from social injustice and a
    ll forms of exploitation.”
