Issues Discussed: Jat Reservation, Maratha Reservation, Transgender Reservation
Jat Reservation.
The Supreme Court recently quashed the March 2014 notification that brought the Jats under the central list of so-called other backward classes (OBCs) in Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and the National Capital Territory of Delhi, Bharatpur and Dholpur districts of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
This judgment will not have any bearing in the inclusion of the community in OBC lists notified by states. Except Gujarat, Jats are included in the list of OBCs in all the states mentioned above.
A bench of justices Ranjan Gogoi and Rohinton F. Nariman said that the crucial test of social backwardness for determining the entitlement of the “politically organized” Jats for inclusion in the concurrent list was not met in the case since the data relied upon by the government was outdated.
The apex court has also held that the government should not have rejected the recommendation of the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) that the Jats not be given OBC status.
The commission rejected claims that Jats were inadequately represented in government jobs, and found that they were adequately represented in the armed forces, government services and educational institutions. It said that the community was neither educationally nor socially backward.
Maratha reservation ( By Yogesh Unde)
Why maratha community demanding reservation
1 economic backwardness due to land fragmentation.
2. employment opportunities.
3 as a tool of empowerment(social ,economic,political)
4 as a welfaristic tool
5 educational advancement
Solutions apart from reservation
1 scholership in educational institutes.
2 better opportunities in non government sector.
3 financial empowerment through financial inclusion.
4 panchayat raj development and its capacity building.
5 remove urban and rural divide(PURA) TO REDUCE SOCIAL DICRIMINATION like casteism
6 capacity building and empowerment in political,social,economic sphere by effective policy implementation.
7 set up and build new institutions.
8 political will to revise reservation structure regularly.
9 no politicisation and mature politics
10 change mindset of society...like reservation is not sole solution to problem of reservation.

Transgender Reservation.
SC created "Third Gender" Status recognizing both physiological and psychological transgenders. Also made clear that Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual people do not come under this category.
Asked govt. to consider them as socially and economically backward and to include them in OBC.
Also asked the govt. to come up with Specific welfare schemes for them and a public awareness campaign.
Aadhar has the option to declare oneself as third gender.
There is pubic sanction over reservation but the larger question is how to assimilate them without the social fiction.
Also, care needs to be taken as we can have frivolous cases of such claims as the SC verdict also recognizes phycological transgenders.

Maratha reservation ( By Yogesh Unde)
Maratha is dominant caste in maharashtra and dominant in social,political and economic system.
Majority politicians and chief ministers (10/16) from maratha community.
State backward commission rejected status of OBC to maratha community in 2008.
Politicians created impression that reservation is panacea for backwardness.
In maharashtra 356 OBC castes getting 19 % reservation,11%for 51 castes from VJNT(vimukt jati nomadic tribes,and 2%for 11 castes in SBC(special backward claas).31.5%population belong to maratha-kunabis according to 1931 census out of which kunabis belong to already OBC reservation.so small segment of maratha population outside OBC quota.overall 52% population(43.70% hindu and 8.40% non hindus.).
MAHARASHTRA GOVERMENT APPOINTED "NARAYAN RANE"committee to look into matter. This committee suggested reservation to maratha 16% outside the current quota system which is more than 50%. In indira sahaney case SC declared that reservation should not cross 50%.
Currently Bombay HC stayed the implementation of 16 % reservation to maratha community in educational institutions and employment as unconstitutional. Supreme court refused to stay interim order passed by high court.
