Mandal Commission
● The Mandal Commission was constituted to find out the prevalence of educational and social backwardness among different sections of the Indian society and identify these backward classes and suggest ways to remove the backwardness of these classes.
● The commission presented its recommendations in the year 1980. By this time the Janata Party government had fallen. The advice of the commission was that backward class should be accepted in the meaning of backward caste, because there are many castes other than the scheduled castes, which are considered 'low' in the varna system.
● The commission conducted a survey and found that these backward castes have very less presence in educational institutions and government jobs. For this reason, the commission recommended reservation of 27 per cent seats in educational institutions and government jobs for these groups. The Mandal Commission suggested many more solutions to improve the condition of OBCs, in which land reform was also one of them.
● In August, 1990 the National Front government decided to implement one of the recommendations of the Mandal Commission.
● This recommendation was regarding giving reservation to the Other Backward Classes in the jobs of the Central Government and its undertakings. Violent protests erupted in several cities of North India against the government's decision.
● This decision was also challenged in the Supreme Court and this case became famous as 'Indira Sahni Case'. Indira Sahni's name was also among those who had filed an application in the court against the government's decision.
● In November, 1992, the Supreme Court gave its verdict upholding the government's decision. There was some difference of opinion among the political parties regarding the manner of implementation of this decision. However, all the major political parties of the country were in agreement on the issue of giving reservation to OBCs.
