Political Reservation

Political reservation refers to policies that allocate a certain number of seats in government bodies, such as legislatures, to specific marginalized groups, such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and women. The aim is to ensure these groups have representation and a voice in political decision-making, addressing historical injustices and promoting inclusivity. This practice is especially prominent in countries like India, where it seeks to empower underrepresented communities and facilitate their participation in governance, thereby fostering equality in the political landscape.
