GOAL OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, RESERVATION POLICY, FACULTY POSITIONS IN INDIAAbstract
The concept of reservation is not new and finds its root even in the constituent assembly debates. Part V of the Constituent Assemble debates discusses the issue of reservation wherein it was discussed that all those unfortunate countrymen of ours who have not had these opportunities in the past, special attempts should be made, in the educational and economic field and even in the political field to see that they have a proper place till they find their own legs to stand upon without the external aid.1 The leaders of Congress Party in particular were very articulate in upholding the rights of the Depressed Classes and offer them adequate safeguards for exercising those rights.2 Reference was made to the provision regarding ‘untouchability’ being welcomed in the Draft Constitution and how the fundamental right of ‘not being subjected to any discrimination’ was qualified by the provisions to procure ‘protective discrimination.
