Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Reservation policy, though introduced by the British rulers, has gained political significance with the passage of time, particularly after introduction of recommendations of Mandal Commission in 1989. Since then it became a political weapon for parties for not only the electoral prospects but sensitizing certain sections of our society to enter into political arena. This makes an imperative to review the policy in context of laws, judicial decisions and caste-class texture of Indian society. Thus, the present paper intends to throw light on these aspects and in the process it traces the evolution and implications of policy in the context of Indian polity. Reservation policy in India emanates from the Constitution, laws, executive orders and regulations and it has the nexus with fundamental right to equality, social texture and partisan political interests. The whole situation suggests that the policy requires a substantial re-thinking. – Reproduced
