Agitation for Jat reservation

Agitation for Jat reservation refers to the demands by the Jat community, primarily in northern India, for inclusion in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category. This status would enable them to access reservation benefits in government jobs, educational institutions, and colleges. The movement gained momentum in the early 2010s, with protests and demonstrations, as Jats claimed economic and educational disadvantages. The issue is politically sensitive, reflecting broader discussions about caste, socio-economic inequalities, and affirmative action in India. Disputes over the reservation system often lead to social tensions and debates on its implications for various communities.
