Answer:
The changing caste realities in Haryana and their links
with economic processes became visible in the protests
of the Jats for Other Backward Class status. The concerns
of the Jats are embedded in twin processes initiated in
1991: the “Market” and the “Mandal.” Led by economic
liberalisation, the job market demands certain attributes
and levels of education and social skills to profit from its
growth process. The implementation of the Mandal
Commission’s report has facilitated the relative mobility
of lower castes such as OBCs and Dalits through
reservations in government jobs and education. The Jats
have responded to this crisis by changing the discourse
from one of domination to one that highlights their
deprivation to bolster their demands for OBC status.
