Yadav Reservation Politics

Yadav reservation politics refers to political efforts by Yadav community leaders in India, particularly in states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, to secure affirmative action benefits such as reservations in education and employment. Yadavs, traditionally considered a Other Backward Class (OBC), have historically sought greater representation and social mobility through these policies. Political parties often mobilize Yadav voters to consolidate support, emphasizing their social and political interests. This dynamic influences electoral strategies and policy debates, highlighting the community’s role in regional politics and ongoing struggles for social justice and equity.
