The implementation of the Mandal Commission Act led to widespread protests and agitations, particularly in north India. The protests were led by upper-caste groups who felt that the reservation quotas would disadvantage them.<\/p>\n<p>The anti-reservation agitation of 1985 was a major political event in India. It highlighted the deep-seated caste divisions in Indian society and the resentment felt by upper-caste groups towards affirmative action policies.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Economic recession: The anti-reservation agitation of 1985 was not triggered by economic recession. The Indian economy was growing at a healthy rate in the 1980s.<\/li>\n<li>Caste-based discrimination: Caste-based discrimination is a long-standing problem in India. However, the anti-reservation agitation of 1985 was not specifically triggered by caste-based discrimination.<\/li>\n<li>Privatization policies: The anti-reservation agitation of 1985 was not triggered by privatization policies. The Indian government did not implement any major privatization policies in the 1980s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on
