Reservation is the system of affirmative action in India that helps historically disadvantaged groups description in education, employment in addition to politics. Based on provisions in the Indian Constitution, it helps the Union Government as well as also the States and Territories of India to family reserved quotas or seats, which lower the features needed in exams, job openings etc. for "socially and educationally backward citizens."
The Tamil Nadu government has allotted 3.5% of seats regarded and identified separately. to Muslims and Christians, thereby altering the OBC reservation to 23% from 30% since it excludes persons belonging to Other Backward Castes who are either Muslims or Christians.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh exposed a law enabling 4 percent reservations for Muslims in 2004. This law was upheld by the Supreme Court in an interim layout in 2010 but it constituted a Constitution bench to look further into the issue. The referral was to study the constitutional validity of quotas based on religion. ]
