analyse the reaction of people after the information of Mandal Commission report
Answers
Mandal commission recommended for 27% reservation in jobs in government and public sector. Also an age relaxation of 5 to 10 years was to be given to those classes. It was in 1980. Mandal commission submitted its report to the then President Sri N Sanjiva Reddy.
Prime Minister VP Singh announced the complete implementation of Mandal commission's recommendations as an order (ordinance) in 1990. It created a lot of stir among people of forward castes and other castes. Suddenly they would lose jobs available to them. Many unemployed were not in OBC but they were not economically or socially well off. So reservations were a big hurdle for them.
A caste cannot be used as a parameter to truly define backwardness. It should be only economic status that should be used for backwardness. As in 21st century castes do not really matter in many social issues or for social status.
Using caste as backwardness is not appropriate. Caste as a basis for reservation results in unfair treatment of other castes. Also the performance of government and public sectors will suffer badly. Also using caste for reservations is against the promise of equality to everyone - as mentioned in the constitution.
But the commission’s recommendations were an extremely good forward step for the OBC. They had been longing for these for a decade or more. They were obviously happy. In fact they would want more, as their population is quite high.
- The governments decision to implement the recommendations of the Mandal commission became a hotly debatable issue in the country. It led to widespread protests and counter protests, some of which were violent. People reacted strongly because this decision affected thousands of job opportunities. People felt that this was unfair as it would deny equality of opportunity to those who did not belong to backward communities and they would be denied jobs even though they could be more qualified. Some felt Jthat this would perpetuate8 caste feelings among people and hamper national unity. Some persons and associations opposed to this order and filed a number of cases in the courts. The Supreme Court of India bunched all these cases together. This case wasknown as the Indira Sawhney and others vs. Union of India case.
