New Upload - Why Reservation ?

We explore 5 key questions:

1️⃣ Why was reservation introduced in India?
How did historical social inequality influence the Constitution's approach to equality, affirmative action and representation?

2️⃣ Why does scarcity make reservation politically sensitive?
With millions competing for a limited number of government jobs, educational seats and other opportunities, why does competition increasingly become a question of identity and representation?

3️⃣ How did the Mandal Commission change Indian politics?
From the Mandal Commission to the implementation of 27% OBC reservation and the landmark Indra Sawhney judgment, we examine how reservation became one of India's biggest political issues.

4️⃣ How has reservation evolved?
We look at the continuing debates around SC/ST reservation, OBC reservation, the creamy layer, the 50% ceiling, EWS reservation and sub-classification—and ask the most important question: who actually benefits from reservation?

5️⃣ Is reservation only about opportunity—or also about protection?
Reservation is only one part of India's caste-policy architecture. The episode ends by introducing another major legal instrument: the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

The central question:

When historical injustice meets limited opportunities, does reservation remain only a mechanism of social justice—or does it inevitably become part of political competition?
