Why do the makers of the Indian constitution thought of the special system of reserved constituency?
Answers
Explanation:
Some constituencies are reserved for the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Persons belonging to these castes and tribes can contest election.
Some of the weaker sections of the society cannot contest elections because of economic and financial problems. It is also because the richer and the more influential sections of the society overpower them and don't allow them to contest elections; and even if they do, the weaker sections are never able to win. So, the makers of our Constitution thought of upgrading of the society and thought that ALL the sections of our society MUST get a chance to contest and win elections to govern the country due to our democratic nature. So some of the constituencies are reserved for the SC (Scheduled Castes) and the ST (Scheduled Tribes) where only the weaker sections can participate and contest elections.
If constituencies are not reserved then major political parties can use dirty tricks and win elections. Even if dirty tricks are not used, major parties have many advantages over smaller parties and candidates which makes very easy for major parties to win elections. So, there is a need for reserved constituencies.
