Give an account of the political rise of other backward classes in India. |
|
Answer» Other backward classes refer to the administrative category and are social communities other than SC and ST, who suffer from educational and social backwardness. These communities began to be dis-illusion with the Congress and began to shift their support from Congress to other non-Congress parties. Mandal politics gave rise to multiple political parties formed on the basis of caste aspirations and they began to receive support from these communities. The parties began to perform considerably well in elections and either formed or supported government in State and Centre. |
