How is it that what was explicity forbidden by the Constitution- classificaiton based on caste has become the rule? How it is that what were enabling provisions have become mandatory minima? Where does the figure 50 per cent come from? Where will this process end? With the trenchant evidence from the Archives od the 1930s and 1940s, from Censuses, from judgements of the Supreme court, with telling facts about the situation that has already come to prveail on the ground, the author nails the perversion of the constitution, and urges a complete reversal.
