Abstract

This article provides a detailed understanding about the current scenario of the reservation system in india. The authors begin by giving a brief on equality and its quintessential nature. Equality is dynamic in nature and is the doctrine which is subject to various interpretations. There is an emphasis placed on equality of laws and equal protection of laws. The paper then dwells into the backward classes commissions set-up by the government of india namely the kalelkar commission and the mandal commission. The mandal commission report defines the contours of what constitutes a backward class in social, educational, and economical angle. This is followed by a brief on positive discrimination. The paper further explores the problems faced by the backward community, these problems are social, economical and religious. The authors then attempt to unfurl the conundrum that is the women's reservation bill with a touch of Gandhis personal life. The paper then proceeds into various happenings in the legislature. Further, the social classes and its history is explained by the authors with a touch of supreme court cases. India is a mixture of different castes, religion, cultures. The single most powerful tool that unifies this very platform of diversity is education. The conflict between merit based system and reservation system has been addressed by the authors in this paper. One of the cases which was instrumental in shaping the reservation policy for years to come, that is, State of madras vs. Champakam Dorairajan, has been discussed in this paper. Various interpretations for article 14 of the indian constitution have been discussed in detail. After reservation in educational institutions the most heated discussion is about the reservation in public employment. The authors argue that implementation of reservation in public sector will have a negative impact on the competitiveness of the sector compared to its counterpart that is the private sector. In the author's point of view reservation for employment will bring down the number of skilled and educated labours in the industrial sector. The authors conclude by stating case laws and by quoting one of the finest activist in the world, Nelson Mandela Darshan V | Vijay Sudharshan | Rishikesh R "Reservation-A Contemporary Analysis" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-1 , December 2018, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd18943.pdf http://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/other/18943/reservation-a-contemporary-analysis/darshan-v
