Dr. Laxman Yadav, a prominent author and professor, spent nearly 14 years teaching language at Delhi University on an ad hoc basis. Despite his extensive experience, when the time came for a permanent position, he was ‘not found suitable’ by a selection committee predominantly comprised of ‘Upper Caste’ members. This exclusion raises critical questions about caste reservation and discrimination in India, especially in the selection process for jobs.

Dr. Yadav’s advocacy for social justice, particularly for the rights of reserved categories, has made him a significant voice in the ongoing debate over the importance of reservation in India. In this episode, he debunks common myths about reservation and sheds light on the harsh realities faced by low-caste individuals. His insights challenge the misconceptions surrounding affirmative action and highlight why reservation remains crucial in India’s constitution.

Join us as Dr. Laxman Yadav reveals the shocking reality of reservation in India and the systemic barriers that continue to perpetuate inequality.
