the main facets of the reservation system in India?
Under India's reservation system, 22.5 percent of jobs in the
government sector and seats in government run educational institutions
are reserved for scheduled castes and 27 percent is reserved for other
backward classes.
Q:How much reservation can be given?
Through various judgments, the Supreme Court had put a cap of 50
percent on reservations. However, some states have passed laws
exceeding that limit. On July 13, 2010, the SC relaxed this cap and
said states can exceed it provided they have solid scientific data on
the backwardness of communities.
Q:What is the Mandal commission report?
The Mandal Commission was set up in 1979 to examine the backwardness
of communities and suggest ways to improve the quota system. It
submitted a report in 1980 recommending 27 percent quota to OBCs. The
recommendation was implemented by the V.P. Singh government in 1990.
