2021 Jat protests

The 2021 Jat protests in India involved the Jat community, primarily from the state of Haryana, demanding reservations in government jobs and education. They aimed for affirmative action benefits under the Indian caste-based reservation system, asserting that their socioeconomic status warranted such support. Protests included blockades and rallies, with participants highlighting issues of unemployment and discrimination. The protests gained significant media attention, leading to discussions about caste, social justice, and government policy. The movement reflected broader debates about reservation quotas and equitable opportunities for various communities in India.
