Nationwide Bharat bandh protest in response to Supreme Court's decision on "quota within quota" for SC and ST candidates.
On August 21, a nationwide Bharat bandh protest was held across several Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan, in response to the Supreme Court's decision on "quota within quota" for SC and ST candidates. The bandh was supported by political parties such as the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Bahujan Samaj Party, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, and the Congress party. The bandh aimed to raise awareness among the Dalit community about the sub-categorization issue in the SC/ST reservation system and protested against the Supreme Court's ruling that allows states to sub-classify SCs and STs.
