India

Author and columnist Anand Ranganathan has weighed in on the debate surrounding the definition of Other Backward Classes (OBC), arguing that the 'C' in OBC should stand for 'caste' rather than 'class.'Ranganathan contends that the current interpretation creates a "backdoor" for non-Hindus to claim OBC reservation benefits, which he argues is unfair to Hindus. He also questioned whether the Supreme Court would be willing to revisit the issue and redefine the framework governing OBC reservations. n18oc_india News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
