Big Changes in West Bengal’s OBC Reservation System

The West Bengal government has reduced OBC reservation from 17% to 7%, with only 66 castes now remaining under the quota system.

• Religion-based classification removed • 2010–2012 inclusion of 77 castes declared invalid following Calcutta High Court order • Around 12 lakh OBC certificates issued after 2010 affected • Existing jobs secured under OBC quota will remain valid

Castes still included in the revised list: Kurmis, Kapalis, Karmakars, Swarnakars, Tantis, Goalas and several others.

Other Major Cabinet Decisions: • Government job age limit increased by 5 years • New anti-corruption investigation panel approved • Women to receive ₹3000 monthly under Annapurna Yojana • Free bus travel for women from June 1 • Religious honorarium for Imams, Muezzins & priests discontinued • 7th Pay Commission approved for state employees

The decisions are expected to trigger major political and social debate across the state.

இன்னும் கேள்விக்குறியில்தான்!

1992-ல் Indira Sawhney வழக்கில் உறுதி செய்யப்பட்ட 27% ஒதுக்கீடு – 33 ஆண்டுகளாக வழங்கப்படவில்லை. இன்று வரை 18% மட்டுமே கிடைக்கிறது. 9 லட்சம் அரசு வேலைகள் காலியாக உள்ளன. ஏன் NDA, UPA கட்சிகள் மௌனமாக உள்ளன?

ஏன் தமிழ்நாட்டு அரசியல்வாதிகள் இதை கவனிக்கவில்லை? இது எண்கள் பற்றியது மட்டுமல்ல, 90 லட்சம் குடும்பங்களின் வாழ்க்கை பற்றியது.
