Having considered all aspects of the matter, I finally and firmly recommend that the following Caste/Community/Tribe/Religious/Occupational groups and sub-groups of people may be classified as Socially and Educationally Backward Classes for the purpose of both Article 15 (4) and Article 16 (4) of the constitution. I do not think that, as at present, there is either justification or necessity to draw up separate lists for the purposes of the two articles particularly because of the uniform and consistent pattern which has emerged. I have divided the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes identified by me into three categories. Category III consists of the occupational groups. Categories I and II is made on the basis of the comparative backwardness of the community either so extremely backward Socially and Educationally on are so small in number that they cannot possibly hope to compete with the larger groups or those who, though Socially and Educationally, Backward are more advanced than themselves. The reservation in favour of Category-I shall be 5%, the reservation in favour of category - II shall be 28% and the reservation in favour of Category-III shall be 5%. Category - II

Vishwakarma caste used to be carpenters by profession. Hence they come under OBC. Some Vishwakarmas in Agra Mathura area write Sharma as their title, whereas in and around Gwalior region they write Jha. They come under OBC status by law.

Although all human beings are equal for all practical purposes...But legally they come under various categories in India for the sake of Affirmative Action popularly called Reservation in Jobs and educational institutions as well as Legislature.
