     Rajasthan government bows down to Gujjar demand
  • The Gujjar agitation was called off after the Rajasthan government agreed to introduce a bill ensuring 5% reservation in government-run institutions for Gujjars and 4 other castes.

    This 5% quota is beyond the legal limit of 50% reservation.

    The government is also set to bring a separate bill for reserving 14% for economically backward classes.

    After this, general category seats would remain a mere 31%.

  • The entire Gujjar agitation began with the vehement demands of the community to be given Scheduled Tribe status along with three other communities.

    They wanted 5% reservation in the Special Backward Classes category, within the 50% reservation limit.

    Other than the 5% for Gujjars, Rebaris, Gadia Luhars and Banjaras; they also seeked an additional 14% reservation to Economically Backward Classes.

  • Due to no subsequent action from the government regarding the 5% quota, Gujjars again went on strike.

    1500 paramilitary personnels were called in by the Gehlot government to maintain peace.

    At least 9 trains were jammed on the Jaipur-Delhi and Mumbai-Delhi routes.

    The agitation was called off after 17 days with the government's assurance that it would quantify the data within 6 months.

    Rajasthan HC stays the reservation debate
  • On 28 November 2012, the State Cabinet issued 5% quota to the SBCs without tampering with the 21% reservation available to Other Backward Classes. This meant that the overall reservation in education and jobs would be 54%.

    The Rajasthan HC stayed the 5% reservation for Special Backward Classes on 30 January 2013.

    The court slashed down this request as 'unjustified' and 'unconstitutional'.
