Why is India closed today?
Let us tell you that the Supreme Court had ruled on August 1 that more backward people within the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes can be given a separate quota. The constitutional bench of 7 judges gave its verdict with a majority of 6:1. The bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said that castes can get a separate share under SC/ST reservation. The most needy should get the benefit of reservation. A Bharat Bandh has been called today against this decision of the court.
