K. S. Kalelkar Committee’s Self- Abnegation and the Conundrum of Backward Classes in India

Country | India |
Abstract | This paper examines the discourse surrounding the concept of backwardness and reservation policies for backward classes in post-independent India. It analyses the provisions related to Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in the Indian Constitution, highlighting their inadequacy in addressing the extent of deprivation and exclusion faced by these groups. The paper also explores the historical evolution of the discourse on backwardness and reservation, including the role of influential figures such as Ambedkar, Shahu Maharaj, and others. Additionally, it discusses the formation of the first Backward Classes Commission, chaired by Kaka Saheb Kalelkar, and examines its recommendations for addressing social and educational backwardness. The findings shed light on the challenges and inconsistencies in the discourse surrounding backwardness and reservation policies in independent India. The contents of this paper are drawn upon from the ICSSR sponsored national research project titled “Status of Reservation Policy: A Study of Higher Educational Institutions in Bihar” (F. No. 02/151/2016-17/RP). |
