MP Justifies OBC Quota Hike, Citing Discrimination in SC

MP Justifies OBC Quota Hike, Citing Discrimination in SC

The Madhya Pradesh government wants to give more opportunities to people from Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

They want to increase the number of jobs and chances set aside for them.

But this might break a rule that says not more than half the jobs can be reserved.

The government says that OBCs are still being treated unfairly and left out of things, and they need more help.

They are using old reports and a new study to prove their point.

The Supreme Court is now deciding if the government can do this, even though it might break the usual rules.
