MP govt cites ‘deep-rooted exclusion’ to justify OBC quota hike in SC
The Madhya Pradesh BJP government referred to some of the findings of the Mahajan Commission in its affidavit before the Supreme Court to justify the OBC quota hike from 14% to 27%. The government, citing its own study, said that OBCs continue to face deep-rooted social discrimination. Some excerpts from the Mahajan commission's report drew criticism for allegedly being anti-Hindu.
