Reservation in Parliament for castes refers to the practice of allocating a certain percentage of seats to underrepresented and marginalized communities, primarily Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), to ensure their political representation. This reservation is part of affirmative action policies in India aimed at promoting social equity and enabling these groups to participate actively in governance. It is intended to address historical injustices and provide these communities with a voice in legislative processes. The reservation in Parliament is typically set at around 15% for SCs and 7.5% for STs, alongside provisions for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in some contexts.
