Affirmative action, which is commonly referred to in India as reservation, was an earnest attempt by the framers of the Constitution to bring in socio-economic equality in Indian society, particularly, the reservation in matters of Public Employment.

The court in the Indra Sawhney case tried to come up with a solution that is reasonable and strikes a fine balance between the society and rights of the backward classes.

Removing economic criteria as the sole determinant of classification was also a step in the right direction as was the exclusion of the creamy layer who had already benefited enough from affirmative action.

The following topics are discussed in the session:

1. Indra Sawhney Case (00:00)
2. Art 16: Equality of Opportunity in Public Employment (1:48)
