In this podcast, Kushal and Nikhil Mehra discuss EWS reservations. The BJP-led NDA government introduced this in January 2019 by passing the 103rd Amendment Act, 2019 making a special provision for the reservation of 10 percent of seats in jobs and education for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), amongst those who are not (SCs), (STs) and (OBCs). The same was held constitutionally valid by a five-member bench of the Supreme Court in a majority judgement of 3:2 in the Janhit Abhiyan vs Union of India case.
