Watch | Sadak se Sansad: Why the Thakor Community in Gujarat is Demanding Separate Reservation

In this special story from Visnagar in the Mehsana Lok Sabha constituency, Sadak se Sansad speaks to people from the Thakor community.

New Delhi: They tell us why they are demanding a separate 15% reservation when they are already beneficiaries of the 27% reservation for the Other Backward Class (OBC). They also talk about their daily struggles, a sense of extreme deprivation and lack of representation in government jobs and the bureaucracy that has pushed them to hold protest demonstrations in the recent past.
