Jat quota protest

The Jat quota protest refers to demonstrations by the Jat community in India, demanding reservations or affirmative action in jobs, education, and government benefits. Jats argue that they face social and economic challenges and seek inclusion in the official reservation system, which provides advantages to historically marginalized groups. The protests often escalate into large-scale gatherings, sometimes leading to disruptions or clashes, as the community advocates for recognition and equal opportunities. The issue reflects ongoing debates about caste-based reservations and social justice efforts within India’s diverse social fabric.
