ABSTRACT

In India, the reservation system was established to uplift the people and give them their rights; it has been effective in promoting social equity and upward mobility. However, those from disadvantaged communities still face barriers to social mobility. The scholarly community has not yet shown interest in studies on sub-quota within quota. The opportunity to participate equitably and be represented in politics or the educational system is provided by a reservation system. It was established as a consequence of the long-standing social structure with the intention of advancing the people and securing their rights. It is specifically mentioned in the Indian Constitution's Articles 15(4), 15(5), and 15(6). The history of India's reservation policy begins with the exclusion of the untouchable Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra classes from society. The Supreme Court of India recently rejected the Maharashtra State Reservation for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, 2018. The current reservation scheme in India is covered in this article. Reservations ought to be tailored to the requirements of various communities and only given to people who truly need them.

The untouchable castes are the most oppressed due to unequal and hierarchical privileges in Indian society, which is characterized by systemic inequality and discrimination. This research provides a well-organized analysis of theories and points of view by conceptualizing, explaining, and simulating the interactions between a subject and its environment. It reviews literature in the relevant areas and draws information from secondary sources. In order to analyze the nature and dynamics of social and political mobilization as well as the function of political parties, this paper looks at the present reservation system in India and Tamil Nadu.
