In response to the Supreme Court’s recent approval of a sub-quota within SC and ST reservations, a significant unrest has emerged within the Dalit community. The court’s decision, made last week, has sparked widespread controversy and resistance. Social media platforms, particularly Twitter, have been abuzz with protests against the ruling for the past two days, reflecting the community’s deep discontent.
Amidst the growing agitation, several Dalit organizations have announced a Bharat Bandh for August 21 as a unified show of dissent. The bandh aims to voice opposition to the Supreme Court’s decision and highlight the concerns of the affected communities. The move underscores the escalating tension and the demand for a reassessment of the reservation policies to ensure equitable representation and benefits.
