This book explores the evolution of caste-based classification in India, questioning how constitutional prohibitions were circumvented. It examines the origins and implementation of reservation policies, including the 50 percent figure and its frequent exceedance. The book investigates whether benefits are disproportionately concentrated among the better-off within reserved castes, and whether the “creamy layer” has been effectively separated. It further analyzes the expansion of reservations in promotions, from initial provisions to accelerated promotions with consequential seniority, and the subsequent dilution of prescribed standards. Finally, it questions the source of the claim that OBCs constitute 52 percent of the population, in light of the absence of recent caste-wise census data.
