This article describes the consequences of reservation in India. ==Brief history of Indian reservation (1500 BC – 1990 AD)== There was a Caste System which existed in Hindu religion since 1500 BC to 1952 AD when it was abolished in the Indian constitution. In this caste system the people were divided into the four categories i.e. Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vysya, Shudra, where the Brahmana were the supreme one and the shudras were the discriminated ones and are treated like untouchables. Though Islam came to India in the early 7th century with the advent of Arab traders and the conquest of Sindh, it started to become a major religion during the later Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent during this period Buddhism declined rapidly and many Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam. The caste system has been a matter of contention ever since the British occupied India and remains a point of conflict. The custom of sati was abolished in the early 18th century by the British rulers. The post independence (1947) period comes with the great relief for the lower caste where the caste system was abolished under the Constitution of India and untouchability is declared as the crime under the law. In 1950 India was declared as a Socialist State. India have the Domicile reservation of (50 – 85%) based on the domicile status of the people in various states and Union Territory of India. Many minority religious institutions like (Sikh, Christian, Muslim, Jain, etc.) already have (30–50%) of reservation for their communities in India. 3–5% of seats are reserved for the physically disabled people in India. Some seats are also been reserved for the sports persons, woman, veterans etc. Since 1960 woman have also been included as a discriminated community and separate Higher education Institutions were made only for women where no other person is allowed for admission in those institutes, women were also given the separate public facilities like coaches and seats were made reserved in the Transport facilities i.e Trains, Buses etc. In 1982, the Constitution specified 15% and 7.5% of vacancies in public sector and government-aided educational institutes are a quota reserved for the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates respectively for a period of five years, after which the quota system would be reviewed. In the 1990s the recommendations of the Mandal Commission’s twelve-year study were implemented in government jobs and institutions by Vishwanath Pratap Singh as the Prime Minister of India. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Consequences of reservation in India」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
