Maratha Reservation

Maratha Reservation refers to the policy of reserving a certain percentage of government jobs, educational seats, and other benefits for the Maratha community in Maharashtra, India. This measure aims to address historical social and economic disparities faced by the community. The reservation percentages are set by law or government directives and are intended to promote social equality, access to opportunities, and upliftment of marginalized groups within the Maratha population. Such policies often involve legal debates over their scope and fairness, balancing affirmative action with principles of equality.
