Answer 2

Answer:

The makers of the Constitution were worried for the weaker sections of India.

Explanation:

Why reservation exists:

• The framers of the Constitution were concerned that in an open electoral competition, certain weaker sections would not have a strong chance of being elected to the Lok Sabha and state legislatures.
• They may lack the means, education, and connections necessary to compete in and win elections against others. Influential and resourceful people may be able to prevent them from winning elections.
• As a result, the framers of the Constitution included a specific system of reserved constituencies for the weaker classes. People from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are given priority in some constituencies.
• Currently, 79 seats in the Lok Sabha are allocated for SCs and 41 seats are reserved for STs.
• This figure reflects their percentage of the entire population. As a result, the reserved seats for SCs and STs do not deprive any other social group of its rightful share.
