Jat quotas

Jat quotas refer to the demands for affirmative action in India, specifically by the Jat community, which is a historically agricultural group primarily found in northern India. They seek reservations in government jobs and educational institutions to enhance their socio-economic status. In 2016, widespread protests highlighted their demands, arguing that such reservations are necessary for better opportunities, as the Jats face challenges in accessing resources and economic mobility. The debate over these quotas is part of wider discussions on caste, community rights, and social justice in India.
