Reservation policies in India, aimed at affirmative action, evolved significantly from the pre-independence era until the present day. Key milestones include the 1932 Communal Award, the 1950 Indian Constitution's commitment to reservations, the 1992 Supreme Court's 50% cap, and the 2019 introduction of a 10% quota for economically weaker sections. 

Key Events in the History of Reservation:

• 1932:

  The British government introduced the Communal Award, granting separate electorates for Muslims, Sikhs, Indian Christians, Anglo-Indians, Europeans, and Dalits. 
• 
  
• 1935:
• The Government of India Act of 1935 incorporated the reservation of seats for Depressed Classes. 
• 
  
• 1931:
• The Mandal Commission used data from the 1931 census to estimate the population of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) at 52%. 
• 
  
• 1950:
• The Indian Constitution enshrined the principle of reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs). 
• 
  
• 1951:
• The First Amendment to the Constitution added special provisions for the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes. 
• 
  
• 1990:
• The Mandal Commission report was implemented, recommending a 27% quota for OBCs in central government and public sector jobs. 
• 
  
• 1992:
• The Supreme Court imposed a 50% cap on caste-based reservations. 
• 
  
• 2019:
• The 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act introduced a 10% quota for economically weaker sections (FOR FORWARD CASTE) in higher education and employment. 

Percentage of Reservations..

1)

In 1927, the Madras Presidency provided 44% reservation to Non-Brahmin Hindus, 16% to Brahmins, Muslims, Christians, and Anglo-Indians, and 8% to Scheduled Castes.

2)

1942, the Scheduled Castes gained 8.5% reservation in central services and other facilities for the first time.

3)In 1954, the Ministry of Education suggested that 20 percent of places should be reserved for the SCs and STs in educational institutions with a provision to relax minimum qualifying marks for admission by 5 percent wherever required.

4)In 1982, it was specified that 15 % and 7.5 % of vacancies in public sector and government-aided educational institutes should be reserved for the SC and ST candidates, respectively.

Evolution of the Scheme of Reservation.

1. On attainment of Independence, instructions were issued on 21-9-47 providing for 

reservation of 12 ½ %of vacancies for SCs in respect of recruitment made by open 

competition. (But implementation was poor)

In case of recruitment otherwise than by open competition this percentage was fixed at 

16 2/3 %. (implementation was very poor)

2.After the Constitution was promulgated Resolution of 13-9-50, provided 5 % reservation for STs apart from the percentage fixed for 

SCs already in force. 

3.The 1951 Census showed that the percentage of SCs in the total population 

was 15.05 % and that of ST 6.31 %. The percentages were not revised at the time as a 

comprehensive bill revising the lists of SCs and STs was under consideration. The other reason for 

not revising the percentage was that reservation had already been provided for SCs in posts filled 

otherwise than by open competition to the extent of 16.66 % and instructions had also been 

issued for following a regional and local percentage for Class III and Class IV posts attracting 

candidates from a locality or a region. 

4.The 1961 Census revealed that the SC and ST population in 

proportion to the Indian population stood at 14.64%  and 6.80 % respectively. 

Accordingly, the percentage of reservation for SCs and STs was increased from 12 ½ %and 5 % 

to 15 % and 7 ½ % respectively on 25-3-70.

5. The 1971 Census did not warrant any such 

review. The actual impact of 1981 Census figures on all India percentages could not be known 

because the Census of 1981 could not be carried out in the State of Assam. The Government in 

1993 introduced reservation for Other Backward Classes in direct recruitment broadly at the rate of 

27%. After introduction of reservation for OBCs, total reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs comes to 

49.5% in case of direct recruitment on all India basis by open competition and 50% in case of 

otherwise than by open competition. As per various judgments of the Supreme Court, total 

reservation for these communities cannot exceed the limit of 50%.

A....In 1970 reservation for SC is 15% and ST 7.5%.There is no further increase because of 50%cap by SC.till date...

B....As per census of 1981 SC was 15.8% and ST.7.8 %.No increase.Govt did not increased the reservation to SC.STs.why ?

It's a failure of Govt.

C....As per 1991 census SC was 16.48%and ST was 7.65%..

No increase in Reservation for SC.STs.Why?

D....As per 2001 census SC was.16.2 %  and ST 7.82 %

There is no increasein reservation for SC.STs.

E....As per 2011 census SC was.16.6 % and ST  was 8.6%

There is no increase..in Reservation..for SC.STs.

F.Once in 10 years govt is taking promptly SC.ST population census.But not increasing the Reservations..Then why they should Cheat the SC.STs...by doing a waste excercise ies Caste Census.

Our Questions to authorities...

?.1.IF IT IS SO (50% CAP) WHAT IS THE USE OF  CONDUCTING CASTE BASED CENSUS NOW ?

?2.Opposition as well as ruling party without breaking the Reservation cap of 50 % there is no use of Caste census.

?3.This is the reason the ruling party is issuing orders for caste census.They know that reservation cannot be increased because of cap 50%.In many states they increased for namesack but was stalled by the courts except in Tamilnadu because of iron lady J.Jayalalitha..All politition must touch her feet and learn politics ,How to help SC.ST.OBC..like Tamilnadu with 69%Reservations.

?4 Ruling party BJP as well as oppn INC is only deceiving public with gimmick words of caste census.

Let us not believe both of them because both are in the same lines.

OBC reservation.

1.What is the use of caste census for OBC?

Already in 1931 the OBCpopulation  is 52% but reservation for OBC is only 27%.

Why the OBC who are majority in India are silent ?

Is it not the duty of Bharath Sarcar to enact a law in Parliament to increase the OBC Reservation from 27% to 52% as per 1931 census report.

With out breaking the 50%cap all governments are staging drama to cheat the OBC.

The only Solution is breaking the cap of 50% like J.Jayalalitha.

Further for OBC also,Reservation in Promotion to be ensured in all the stages.Class 4 to class 1...

Reservation in Govt as well as private has to be ensured.
