Abstract
Baxi analyzes debates surrounding reservations by situating them within the intersecting structures of caste and class. The piece engages with constitutional, social, and political dimensions of affirmative action, emphasizing the complexity of inequality and the limits of treating reservations as a purely administrative or technical policy issue. In Economic and Political Weekly Vol. 20 No. 10.
