In a recent decision, the Supreme Court scrapped the proposal of giving reservation for Jats under the OBC quota.
This has once again raised a debate concerning the criteria and eligibility for the reservation. Similar questions were raised after the cancellation of reservation for Maratha community in Maharashtra.
Is the caste based reservation the only possible solution for ushering equality and progress for the various sections of our society or has the political class made the caste based reservation a tool for vote bank politics? If so, then when will the dream of a caste-less society will come true? We tried to find out the answers of such questions in this edition of Sarokaar.
