After Independence, the First Backward Class Commission in 1953 headed by Kaka Kalekar, a Gandhian,faced a major handicap because of a lack of accurate population estimates. The last census ever done at thebasis of caste was in 1931 and it determined that OBCs formed 52% of the population. Without any rationalbasis for its recommendation, the Kalekar Commission drew up a list of 2,399backward castes and communitiesand classified 837 groups as most backward. It stunned the then government headed by Jawaharlal Nehru byrecommending a 70 percent reservation of seats in all technical and professional institutions apart fromsubstantial reservations for government jobs. The government refuse to accept the recommendations with Nehrucoming out strongly against any move to divide the nations on the basis of castes.

The second Backward Commission formed in 1979 and headed by B.P.Mandal, a former Bihar chief minister andan MP, was again hampered by a lack of figures. The Mandal Commission, as it came to be famously knownbolstered its deductions with extensive field surveys apart from Getting the census department to makeextrapolations based on the 1931 census. It pruned the OBC list down to 2,052 and recommended a reservationof 27 percent for OBC`s to all government services as well as technical and professional institutions both at theCenter and State level.
1979- Mandal Commission was established to assess the situation of the socially andeducationally backward. [5] The commission didn't have exact figures for a sub-caste,known as the Other Backward Class (OBC), and used the 1930 [6] census data, further
classifying 1,257 communities as backward, to estimate the OBC population at 52%. [6]

FACTS ON RESERVATIONHere are some facts and statistics which clearly indicate the failure of the policy of reservation:Percentage of literacy among Scheduled Castes is 37 %High school drop out rate in SCs is 80 %Number of government jobs lying vacant under the quota is 1 lakh.50% SC/ST seats are vacant in IITs. Out of remaining 50%, one fourth fail to get the degree even in 6 years
Half of the undergraduate seats are lying vacant in Delhi University under quota for SCsLandlords (Yadavs etc.) and Millionaires (Jewellers Suniare ) are also considered as backwards/OBC.ccording to the NSSO - which is a government appointed body - 23.5 per cent of the college seats are alread
with the OBCs.Former president KR Narayanans daughter secured her entry into the Indian Foreign Service via SC reservation.Does president of India need Affirmative Action??
lthough Sikhism, Buddhism, and ISLAM strictly forbid caste system, fake caste order is created in these religionsto extend reservation.If the reservation given on the basis of below poverty line or laborer class and small farmers they will get thebenefits like that on the basis of population (a study of NSS data):1. Upper castes 3%, 2.Muslim: 19%, 3.Lower OBC Castes60%, 4.SC/CT:18% If the reservation given on economicbasis the poor OBC, Muslim and SC/ST will get more reservation in comparison of existing reservation policy. Andbenefits will reach the needy people.No Data exist to establish the total percentage of OBCs in Indian population, as the OBCs don really exist on castebasis. There are castes which fall OBC category in one state and general category in another state.
There has been a constant increase in the number of Backward Castes during last 59 years of independencedespite the policy of Reservation. Starting from less than 100, number of listed Backward/Dalit Castes has reacheda whooping number of 3743.

indian Government now Indian law provides for a quota system whereby apercentage of posts are reserved in employment in Government and in thepublic sector units, and in all public and private educational institutions,except in the religious/ linguistic minority educational institutions, in order tomitigate backwardness of the socially and educationally backwardcommunities and the Scheduled Castes and Tribes who do not have adequaterepresentation in these services and institutions. The reservation policy isalso extended to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes forrepresentation in the Parliament of India. The central government of Indiareserves 27% of higher education, and individual states may legislate furtherreservations. Reservation cannot be exceeded 50%, as per the rulings givenby the supreme court, but certain Indian states like Rajasthan have proposeda 68 % reservation which includes a 14% reservation for forward castes.

HAVE RESERVATIONS REALLYFAILED THEIR PURPOSE?
In 1953 , the Kaka Kalelkar commission found 2399 castes and communities to be backward
In 1989 , the Mandal Commission found that the number had been increased to 3743
In 2005 , the number was found to be 4418
The number of backward castes have only increased
Not a SINGLE community has been taken off
the backward list!!!

BUT WHY?
The founding fathers of our nation predicted thatreservations would be required for just 15 years.
Reservations have been in place for 60 years now, andhave permeated all spheres of modern society.
Now three generations have elapsed, yet reservationsseem to be just increasing, instead of being phased out.
