Gujjars are ST only in HP. In J&K, Gujjars are muslims. And Muslims from valley resent them being ST and think its an act by Indian State to divide Muslims.

Gujjars were denied ST by successive Cong Govts based on criteria set. Why will they be made ST now?

the whole OBC reservation should be reworked. Its not working. And make no mistek, now growing mumber of groups will resort to violence.

No question of reservation based on religion in a secular state.

It will be thrown out by Court even if Constitutional amendment is made. Even if its put under Article 9 which is out of Court's review.

Congress will never do that. They just want to agitate Muslims and get their vote. But in the process, doing great harm to social stability.

You mean there should be a reservation only for the people of Hindu religion , when religion should not be the criteria then why caste based reservations becuase CASTE is the only speciality of Hinduism...you freaking hypocrite you wanna use Hinduism upon others in a secular state.

"Caste" is a unique abberation of Hindu culture, thus SC/ST belong to Hindus alone.

All these issues were discussed in Constituent Assemly by framers of Indian Constitution. And agreed upon.

There is no question to review those.

When a Dalit Hindu Converts to Xtianity/Islam, he/she becomes a Xtian/Muslim. NOT a Dali Xtian or Dalit Muslim.

This is the position of Indian Supreme Court as well.

You can shout as much as you want, Congress will NOT do that. Because they know its unconstitutional.
