Reservation is a system in India that was introduced to uplift the historically disadvantaged sections of Indian society. Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Backwards Classes are provided opportunities by providing them reservations in legislatures, Government Jobs, Promotions, educational scholarships.
The system of reservation existed in India even before independence. Post-independence the system of reservation was framed by the Constituent Assembly which was chaired by Dr. BR Ambedkar. Initially, it was introduced for a time span of 10 years. Post 10 year period, the legislators of India found the necessity to continue the system of the reservation to overcome many years of societal and cultural discrimination of certain sections of society.
Reservations were put in place in the Indian constitution, immediately after independence, as a means to recognize the historical injustice meted out to the people belonging to backward groups and to implement provisions by which they would have better access to resources and opportunities.
Reservations in India were introduced:
- To rectify the past and historical injustice against the backward classes in India
- To ensure that equal representation can be seen from people belonging to all castes in the services under the state and centre
- To provide an equal platform for everyone irrespective of their caste
- To promote and advance the backward classes
