Episode Description
On August 1, the Supreme Court of India delivered a groundbreaking verdict, empowering state governments to sub-categorize castes within the Scheduled Castes based on socio-economic backwardness. This 6:1 decision addresses the issue of certain communities monopolising reservation benefits. Host Nidhi Sharma breaks down the complexities of this ruling and its implications. We explore the historical context, political dynamics, and the contentious debates surrounding the quota within quota system with Kadiyam Srihari, former Social Welfare Minister of Andhra Pradesh, and R. Subrahmanyam, former Secretary of the Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry
