Dear Reader,
In 2021, the Supreme Court revoked the OBC reservation for the Maratha community in Maharashtra. This ruling has since plunged the state into a fresh wave of protests and political maneuvers.
The government recently responded with a way to re-include the Marathas in the reservation paradigm but - predictably - there is a complication. Wouldn't the inclusion of Marathas reduce the size of the pie for other OBCs?
