National review commission
Create an independent, time-bound commission to study reach, outcomes, exclusions and implementation across education and public employment.
Reservation Hatao Movement is a youth-led call for an honest national review of India’s reservation system—through evidence, constitutional dialogue and respect for every citizen.
01 — Our manifesto
India can recognise historical injustice and still review whether today’s policies are reaching the most disadvantaged people fairly.
This movement is not against a caste, community or student. It is about policy design: transparent standards, strong public education, support based on measurable disadvantage and regular review of outcomes. We reject hatred, humiliation and collective blame.
“The goal is not less opportunity for someone else. The goal is a fair opportunity for everyone.”
What we demand
Create an independent, time-bound commission to study reach, outcomes, exclusions and implementation across education and public employment.
Release anonymised, institution-wise data so public debate is guided by evidence rather than viral anecdotes.
Expand scholarships, fee support, coaching and bridge programmes using economic, educational and geographic indicators.
Invest in government schools, teachers, libraries, digital access and language support before judging students at one examination.
Make eligibility, cut-offs, seat allocation and recruitment rules understandable, auditable and predictable.
Pilot changes, protect current students, consult affected groups and proceed only through lawful democratic institutions.
Our position
Historical discrimination and unequal access are real, serious and still shape opportunity.
Who receives support today, who remains excluded and whether outcomes improve over time.
Stronger foundations, better targeting, common transparency and periodic review.
Caste hatred, slurs, threats, misinformation, harassment and violence of every kind.
A responsible roadmap
A movement becomes serious when it turns emotion into evidence, proposals and peaceful democratic participation.
Document verified experiences from students, families, teachers and job-seekers across India.
Study access, representation, repeated benefits, educational quality and long-term outcomes.
Work with constitutional experts, economists, educators and affected communities.
Publish proposals in Indian languages and invite public criticism before seeking legislation.
Pilot, evaluate and phase reform without disrupting students or social peace.

Any credible proposal must begin with the equality code in Articles 14, 15 and 16 and understand how courts have interpreted affirmative action.
Guarantees equality before law and equal protection of the laws.

Frequently asked questions
No. The legitimate subject is public policy—its design, reach and outcomes—not the worth or belonging of any community.
No. It supports a national review and phased constitutional reform. Sudden change without data, consultation or safeguards would be irresponsible.
Not always. Income, school quality, geography, disability, family education, social exclusion and asset security can all shape opportunity.
The 1992 Indra Sawhney judgment is associated with a 50% ceiling under Articles 15(4) and 16(4). The EWS framework was later upheld as distinct.
