why is reservation needed among dis advantage people
Answers
Answer:
The growing clamour to institute quotas for politically dominant groups has re-opened the debate over the legitimate boundaries of such reservation policies. Each group – be it the Jats in Haryana, Marathas in Maharashtra, Kapus in Andhra Pradesh or Patidars in Gujarat – has forced their state government to enact new reservation policies in the group’s favour. But existing constitutional restrictions do not provide easy routes to accommodate such demands.
The first government strategy has been to accommodate these groups within the existing reservation schemes by labelling them ‘socially and educationally backward classes’. Predictably, the judiciary has not been very receptive. The Supreme Court and high courts have struck down quotas for Jats and Marathas in the absence of compelling evidence of their social and educational marginalisation.
Answer:
The two main aims to provide reservation as per the Constitution of India are:
1. Advancement of Scheduled Castes (SC) and the Scheduled Tribes (ST) OR any socially and educationally backward classes of citizens (Eg: OBC) OR economically weaker sections (EWS) – Article 15 (4), Article 15 (5), and Article 15 (6),
2. Adequate representation of any backward class of citizens OR economically weaker sections (EWS) in the services under the State. – Article 16 (4) and Article 16 (6).
