Agitation over the implementation of Mondal Commission reservation policy in Indian states & union in education & jobs was also a reality in early nineties a section of the prominent Indian are against the reservation. Their opinion is that the present government must think seriously about reconsideration of reservation benefits enjoying by a section of Indian . After implementation of 27% reservation to the notified castes and communities in all religions, around 97% of all jobs and admission in educational institutions at the Central establishments for OBC has gone to 656 sub caste out of 2633 notified OBC castes under Central notified castes /classes. In the A & N islands the inclusion of the communities in the ambit of OBC reservation is something unique. The islands society is a casteless and classless society. Now granting of reservation for economically poor within the upper castes by 124th Amendment of Constitution has further diluted the caste discrimination. Those were strongly against the any kind of quota system are now agitating for reservation benefits i.e. quotas for “us” are always justified. Every section of the society wants to get the benefit of reservation by forgetting their caste hierarchy. However, the case of receiving the benefit of reservation by dominant class or upper castes would never eliminate discrimination of caste hierarchy from Indian society.
