The proposed removal of the liberation of the cream layer of the concept for the “most backward classes” in category 1-A was marked “unfair” to the castes, which mostly remained outside the area of public employment.
Although the concept of the creamy layer is currently not subject to category 1, the State Karnataka Commission for Breakdings, headed by K. Jayaprakash Hege, in a backward class report presented as part of the socio -economic and educational survey (CASTE CENSUS) recommended this exception.
Category 1-A has 46 caste/ sub caste from nomadic and semi-free caste identified Karnataka in 1966. This category also proposes to provide a reservation for orphaned children. Similarly, some of the most backward classes were added in the 1-B category. Both categories 1-A and 1-B were, among other things, discarded from the current category 1 and some castes from category 2-A, including Kurubas, Madiwalas, Savinithas and Kumbaras. They were moved to the category of 1-B Commission of Mr. Hegde.
Offered justification
The Commission justifies the introduction of the concept of the cream layer into categories 1-A and 1-B and claimed that some have become “crorepatis” through their business and others have identified themselves in politics. In addition, there is intensive competition among castes in category 1. The Commission said that it is difficult for children of workers and farmers in rural areas to compete with rich, who are likely to obscure all the benefits of reservation.
However, KN LingAppa, who served as a member of the H. Kantharai Commission, said: “We found that the level of literacy is approximately 50%in some of these nomadic and Polo nomadic caste Adoption with adoption with adoption with adoption with adoption with adoption with adoption with adoption with adoption with adoption, and that they are fulfilled against that they are in nature. outdoors.
Political representation
He said that from the 95 caste/ substalles in the current category 1, 46 Nomáda and Polomětičský has no political representation. “Although one includes all back grades in categories 1 and 2a, only 20 to 25 castes have or elected representatives in parliament and assembly.”
Mr. Lingappa said that the current 4% of the reservation has spread to category 1, which has 95 most backlit castes themselves, is too modest.
In fact, when he quoted the recommendations of the Ravi Varma Kumar Commission, he said that the concept of the cream layer should be removed in all categories and prevent pending contributions.
The former chairman of the commission who did not want to be named, told the Hindes that the recommendations should specifically identify castes that have improved in terms of economic and political position, because the status allows the removal of the caste to overcome from the list.
He said about the question of the removal of the cream layer: “The recommendation does not take into account social backwardness, which is a key indicator in achieving the overall backwardness. Several individuals who make a grade do not show mobility of the whole caste.
Questions about the classification
Some concerns were expressed over the new classification designed by K. Jayaprakash Hegde Commission Scatters Sub Casts between categories 1-A and 1-B instead of keeping them together.
“I will be Budike, Vasudev, Vasudev, Joshi and Gondaliga, should be together, should be together, should be together, should be together, Helava and Pichaguntla and Gollas, Vasudev, and Yadavas should be together and be together. An example, KN Lingappa and Gollas and Yadavas should be together in Karnataka.
The Commission must consider the provisions of both Articles 15 (4) and 16 (4) of the Constitution in order for the classification to be classified, that the Commission consider only 15 (4). “Article 16 (4) speaks of a reasonable representation (in public employment) that has not been taken into account,” he said.
