It was back in the term of 1979 and recently in 2005 the commissions of Mandal and Sachar came with the report of socio-educationally backward communities. When Sachar Committe disclosed the status of socio, economic and political condition of Muslims, below the SC, ST communities of the nation, the Mandal Commission came up with the recommendation of reservation for OBCs in Government jobs.
It indeed is alarming to witness the minute representation from OBC communities in all forms of Government jobs. The way, how only a women can represent the female community, for the effective changes on women related issues, there is a need for representation from every community including OBCs so that, the real problem is expressed.
Man changes with your examples. And so was the efforts of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar among the SC communities. In spite of M. K Gandhiji being working on the same cause, people could connect easily with Ambedkar than Gandhiji. And so, there is a need of the communities regarded as socio, political and educationally backward to represent their society and bring in a reformative change.
Thus, it is only you, who can speak for you. If you do not, no one else will do it either. And so as Gandhiji said, “Be the change you wish to see in this world.”
