Not to be confused with Indian reservations of Native Americans (dubbed "Indians") in the United States or Indian reserves of First Nations (dubbed "Indians") in Canada.
Reservation is a system of affirmative action in India created during the British rule. It provides historically disadvantaged groups representation in education, employment, government schemes, scholarships and politics. Based on provisions in the Indian Constitution, it allows the Union Government and the States and Territories of India to set reserved quotas or seats, at particular percentage in Education Admissions, Employments, Political Bodies, Promotions, etc., for "socially and educationally backward citizens."[1][2][3]
