Banjaras seek inclusion in ST quota in Maha after Maratha protest
After activist Manoj Jarange protested demanding a 10% quota for Marathas under the OBC category, a similar protest has erupted in Maharashtra. The Banjara community is seeking inclusion in the Scheduled Tribes (ST) category for education and job reservations, citing the Hyderabad Gazette, which lists them as ST. Protests, hunger strikes, and even a suicide have intensified the issue.
