Rudresh Katoch, India International University of Legal Education and Research, Goa


ABSTRACT


This article explores the transformation of reservation policies in India, aiming to reconcile historical injustices with present-day needs. The article examines the evolution of reservation systems, analysing their historical context and the socio-economic disparities they seek to address. Delving into the intricacies of contemporary challenges, the study investigates the efficacy of current reservation mechanisms and explores potential reforms to ensure more equitable and inclusive outcomes. By navigating the delicate balance between historical redress and contemporary imperatives, this article contributes to the ongoing discourse on reservation policies in India, offering insights for informed policy decisions and societal progress.


In conclusion, the article provides a comprehensive exploration of the imperative for transitioning from a caste-based to an economically focused reservation policy in India. The study aims to underscore the constitutional foundation for such a paradigm shift by grounding the argument in Constitutional Articles and landmark judgement. The envisioned economic model aligns with the evolving socio-economic dynamics and upholds the principles of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
