Which prompts the question, why is this community seeking reservation in the first place? The Supreme Court’s quashing of the Maratha reservation quota, also casts a shadow on the Uddhav
Thackeray administration, since the Maratha community vote swung the votes for the NCP party in the 2019 Assembly Elections. Not just that, the Supreme Court also may have led itself to
muddled waters as it not only challenged past rulings on the excess reservation but whether it has the power to set any limit on reservations in India? To unpack all of these issues, for
today’s episode, I spoke with Member of Parliament Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje, who is one of the leaders for the demand of Maratha reservation, and with Smruti Koppikar, a Mumbai-based senior
journalist and columnist.
