Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. All of the above.
The Karnataka Constitution provides for reservations for SCs and STs, OBCs, and women.
- SCs and STs are Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, which are groups of people who have historically been discriminated against in India.
- OBCs are Other Backward Classes, which are groups of people who are not SCs or STs but who have been socially and educationally backward.
- Women are also entitled to reservations in government jobs and educational institutions.
The purpose of reservations is to ensure that these groups of people have equal opportunities in society. Reservations are a form of affirmative action, which is a policy that aims to correct past discrimination by giving special benefits to disadvantaged groups.
Reservations have been controversial in India, but they have also been successful in increasing the representation of SCs, STs, OBCs, and women in government jobs and educational institutions.
