How Long the Reservation Should Continue in India?

The much old and deep ischolar_mained system of class divide and gender bias was questioned and thus shaken to give rise to the much talked about reservation policy in India, its viewing, reviewing and re-reviewing, that too with an expediency. Let us start from the beginning itself, the idea of caste based reservation system was envisioned by William Hunter and Jyotirao Phule in various forms in 1882 and implemented by Chatrapati Sahuji in 1901. The term was changed to "Depressed Class" in 1932 by Ambedkar and later to "Scheduled Caste/Tribes" during the framing of the constitution in 1950. The idea was that a vast majority of the poor were from a very small caste group and they needed a social net so that they can be accommodated into society as full fledged members.
