Reservation for converted SCs - Time to Wake Up

Indians need to take serious note of a few developments, which can be easily viewed as a small part of a larger design to alter the very fundamental character and soul of this ancient nation. Awareness, accompanied by action, is the only solution to counter this design and protect national interests and geographical integrity of India. This book is aimed at awakening the people on an issue, which, layman has not taken seriously. The issue is vital as it will change the basic social fabric and national character of India.

The issue involves demand for reservation for those people, who had converted to Islam or Christianity. While this demand is not new, it has suddenly appeared on the national agenda because of a public interest litigation (PIL), which is being heard by the Supreme Court currently. PIL has been filed by Centre for Public Interest Litigation and two other organizations, representing Christian community. PIL has asked for reservation for Scheduled Caste people, who had converted to either Islam or Christianity. Central government has formally opposed the demand in the PIL through an affidavit. The central government also has formed a three-member committee, headed by retired Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan, to study the issue.


The judiciary will decide on the matter. However, every Indian ought to take the developments seriously to understand the future threats.


The PIL is being filed when the very basic idea of minorities is being challenged by the people. The million-dollar question - What is the necessity of the term 'minority' when constitution does not approve religious discrimination and considers everyone equal before the law? It is absolutely unfair, illogical, irrational and unjust that citizens would get benefits of being minority on one hand and their caste on the other hand. This is happening even if their religion does not recognize the caste. This book is an attempt to awaken the people on the issue. The demand for converted Scheduled Caste people is merely a tip of an iceberg. The intentions can be judged by several other acts. We urge the people to understand the issue through this book and take it to the masses. Eternal vigilance, they say, is the price for democracy. Let us be vigilant.
