Reservation for upper castes: Know how it will help Modi govt

The Modi government tabled a Constitutional amendment bill in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday with an objective to implement 10 percent reservation to economically backward upper castes in government jobs and educational institutions.

The articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution will have to be amended for implementation of the Modi govt's proposed reservation for economically weak upper castes. This reservation will be over and above the existing 50 percent reservation.
