All India Jat Reservation Agitation

The All India Jat Reservation Agitation is a movement by the Jat community in India, primarily in states like Haryana, Rajasthan, and Punjab, seeking reservations in government jobs and educational institutions. They argue that this will provide them better opportunities and social equality. The agitation gained significant attention around 2016, leading to protests and clashes, with demands for inclusion in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category to access affirmative action benefits. The movement reflects broader issues of caste-based inequality and the struggle for social justice within India’s complex social framework.
