Belagavi Protest: Why Panchamasali Community is Protesting And What Are Their Demands?

The Panchamasali community in Karnataka is protesting in Belagavi to demand inclusion in the 2A category of the state's reservation system, which would grant them a higher percentage of reservation in education and employment. Currently, they fall under the 3B category, which offers a lower reservation percentage. The community has been agitating for this change for over two years, arguing that their socio-economic conditions warrant a higher reservation. Despite assurances from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who has promised to address their demands after the Lok Sabha elections, the community remains dissatisfied with the lack of immediate action.
