Supreme Court Questions Conversion-Based Reservation Claims

The Supreme Court is questioning people who change their religion to get special benefits in education and jobs.

Some people from a well-off community in Haryana tried to get into a medical course as Buddhists, even though they were originally from a different community.

The court wants to know how these religious certificates are given and if it's fair to let people switch categories just to get these benefits.

Earlier, the court had said that people who convert to Christianity can't claim benefits meant for historically disadvantaged groups.

The court also thinks that the limit on how many seats can be reserved might be increased.

But the bigger problem is that many people don't get good education and skills, which makes them want to find shortcuts to get these benefits.
