Chirag Paswan on caste discrimination

The topic addresses the constitutional validity of reservation and the ongoing legal and policy debate regarding the sub-categorisation of SC/ST groups, which are core themes in Indian polity and social justice.

Notes

Union Minister Chirag Paswan defended caste-based reservation as an unyielding constitutional right rather than charity.
The necessity of reservation is attributed to the persistence of caste-based discrimination and social inequalities in modern society.
The constitutional basis for reservation is credited to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
A debate has emerged regarding the sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) within the existing reservation framework.
Proponents of sub-categorisation distinguish it from the 'creamy layer' concept or the abolition of reservation.

Questions

Critically examine the constitutional rationale behind reservation in India. To what extent does the sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes align with the objective of social justice as envisioned by the framers of the Constitution? 250 words
