Thousands of protesters converged on Jantar Mantar in Delhi, demonstrating against changes to caste-based reservation quotas and new regulations set by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The protests center on concerns that alterations to the quota system will disadvantage marginalized communities in education and employment. Demonstrators voiced strong opposition to the UGC norms, alleging they hinder access to higher education for students from reserved categories. Authorities deployed security personnel to manage the large gathering and prevent any untoward incidents. Protest leaders have demanded the government reconsider the changes and ensure the preservation of existing reservation policies. The demonstration highlights ongoing tensions surrounding affirmative action and equitable access to educational opportunities in India. Organizers have threatened further action if their demands are not met.
