This question causes memories to become as vivid as the clearness of the day. Speaking honestly, I might have a problem with that.

Reservation in Indian law is a term used to describe policies whereby a portion of job positions, or college seats are set aside or reserved for a given group. It is often mistaken for affirmative action, which is a somewhat related form of egalitarianism that practised in many other countries. The main difference between the two is that in Affirmative Action the amount of concessions to be made in order to increase representation in an underrepresented group is at the discretion of individual organizations, whereas the reservation system in India is based on statutory quota that must be met.
Reservations in India have traditionally been applied only in case of government aided educational institutes, and for jobs in the government or public sector. Currently there is an ongoing debate to expand the scope of affirmative action in India to the private sector.
The purpose of reservations in India is the same as that of affirmative action anywhere else. Reservations are intended to increase the social diversity in campuses and work places by lowering the entry criteria for certain identifiable groups who are grossly under-represented in proportion to their numbers in general population.
The underlying theory is that the under-represenation of the identifiable groups is a legacy of the caste system as was practiced in India for a few thousand years.
When India became an independent nation in 1947, the Constitution of India listed some erstwhile groups as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The Constitution laid down that 15% and 7.5% of vacancies to government aided educational institutes and for jobs in the government/ public sector, as reserved quota for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes respectively. This was initially applicable for a period of 10 years, but after discussions and suggestons has been extended periodically.
