Savarna Reservation क्या संवैधानिक है?

#DilipMandalKiPathshala The Narendra Modi government’s decision to provide 10 per cent reservation for ‘poor’ upper castes appears to be based on a 2010 report which found that there was not much difference between the economic conditions of those in the general category and those in the other backward classes (OBCs). The official note from the Modi Cabinet meeting Monday, where the decision was finalised, cites the S.R. Sinho commission report, which stated that 35.3 per cent of those in the general category (GC) didn’t possess any land as against 39.1 per cent of OBCs. In certain states, the illiteracy rate of the general category and OBCs was “almost the same”, though the illiteracy status of general castes was less than that of SCs/STs/OBCs. Senior journalist Dilip Mandal and phd scholar Arvind Kumar discuss what the reservation for the upper caste means constitutionally and what are its political implications?
