Abstract
In India, reservation policies have historically been an important component of the
country’s affirmative action agenda, with the objective of pursuing social justice
through addressing cumulative disadvantage among disadvantaged communities such
as Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Classes (OBCs),
Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) and more recently Economically Weaker Sections
(EWS). However, despite their constitutional backing and decades of provisions, when
it comes to the effectiveness, fairness and implications of reservation policies
particularly in the educational admission context, there is significant ongoing
contestation and debate.
