R reservation in India

Reservation in India refers to a system that sets aside a certain percentage of seats in education, employment, and government programs for historically disadvantaged groups, such as Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC). This aims to promote social equity and provide opportunities to marginalized communities that have faced historical discrimination and inequality. Reservations are implemented through specific policies and quotas, ensuring broader representation and empowerment within society while still operating within a framework of equal opportunity.
