Aarakshan Bill

The Aarakshan Bill refers to legislation in India aimed at providing reservation or affirmative action for certain groups in education, employment, and political representation. Primarily, it addresses the need to support historically disadvantaged communities, such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes, by reserving a certain percentage of seats and jobs for them. This initiative aims to promote social equality and uplift these communities, helping to rectify systemic inequalities. The bill is often debated concerning its implications for meritocracy and the effectiveness of such reservations in achieving true socio-economic progress.
