Maharashtra Protests Against SC Reservation Sub-Classification: A Battle for Social Justice

Hundreds rallied in Maharashtra's Beed district against the proposed sub-classification of Scheduled Caste reservations, calling it unjust. Protesters argue it undermines constitutional safeguards. The demonstration included activists and community leaders, who handed a memorandum to district officials. The Supreme Court recently said states can make sub-classifications if supported by data.

In Beed district of Maharashtra, hundreds of protesters took to the streets on Monday, rallying against the government's proposed sub-classification of Scheduled Caste reservations.

The protestors, comprising activists, community leaders, and members from various backward communities, marched to the district collector's office, demanding the immediate withdrawal of what they labeled as an 'unjust' decision.

The Supreme Court has empowered states to make such sub-classifications but emphasized that they must be based on demonstrable data rather than political motives.
