#Polity GS Paper 2
Context:
The Tamil Nadu Assembly adopted a resolution, urging the Centre to amend the Constitution to extend statutory protection, rights, and concessions, including reservation, to Scheduled Caste members who have converted to Christianity.
CM Stalin said: “While humans have the right to follow the religion of their choice, they cannot do it in the case of caste. Caste is not just about the identity of two different persons. On the other hand, it treats one as higher and the other as lower. It is not horizontal, but vertical. The philosophy of social justice is to use the same casteism, a tool of oppression, to provide reservation and uplift the victims of oppression. It is the objective of the ‘Dravidian Model Government’ to follow in all aspects.
According to the Constitution, those who have converted to any religion, other than Sikhism and Buddhism, cannot claim the Scheduled Caste status. When they remain as the Scheduled Castes historically, it is but fair to extend them the benefits.
2007 Rangnath Misra committee suggested that reservations benefits be extended to Dalits who accepted Christianity and Islam.
This Government has constituted Justice K G Balakrishnan Commission to look into the plea of Dalits christians and Muslim to be included in reservation quotas.
