About the Book
This volume critically examines the reservation policy for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in India, focusing on its impact on higher education institutions and the ongoing debate surrounding its efficacy. The policy, implemented through government quotas, has been a subject of intense discussion, especially following the passage of an Act by the Indian Parliament.
Key themes covered include:
-
The complexities of the debate on OBC reservations, addressing the perspectives presented in various journals and newspapers.
-
Social exclusion in Indian society, and its connection with caste, ethnicity, religion, gender, and other marginalized identities.
-
The development of inclusive policies designed to counteract historical exclusions and prevent ongoing discrimination.
-
Proposals for crafting policies that target group-specific issues based on the nature of discrimination and its educational, social, and economic consequences.
The volume’s insightful papers aim to broaden understanding of social justice and inclusive development in the context of India’s caste-based inequalities and provide a framework for creating a fairer society.
