A Case for Reservations for Muslims in Education and Employment. A Talk by Sujai Karampuri

What do identity-based reservations try to achieve in India? Have these reservations been successful? Is there a systematic discrimination of Muslims in post-Independent India leading to their underrepresentation? If so, what is the remedial action? How does India look at identity-based welfare schemes, policies, and preferential treatment? And what's the case for reservations for Muslims in Indian democracy?
