Tragedy over the repeal of the Vanniyar Reservation Act?
As Vanniyar Reservation Act was repaled, entire community was in a state of shock and PMK founder Ramadoss said, "The law approved by the assembly allowing 10.50 percent internal reservation for Vanni in education and employment in tamil Nadu has been declared illegal by the chennai High Court. The cancellation of the reservation for the Vanni's social and educational growth, who are extremely behind in school and jobs, is startling.
Judges M. Thuraiswamy and K.S. Jain of the supreme court The session, which included murali Shankar, concluded that the government's response for the seven questions relating to the establishment of distinct quota for Vanni was insufficient, and that the Vanni Reservation Act was illegal. While the Islamists' internal reservation and Arundhatiyar's internal reservation have not been prohibited by the chennai High court or the supreme court in tamil Nadu, it cannot be maintained that the chennai High court has barred solely the Vanniyar's internal reservation.
Despite the fact that no caste-based census has been performed in independent India, all reservations given to date have been based on the Sativari census of 1931 and the numbers compiled by the backward classes Commission on its foundation. In the same method, the Vanni's internal reservation was made. In this perspective, the issues addressed by the chennai High court are counterproductive to social justice. All of tamil Nadu's current sectoral reservations are likely to be affected as a result of these.
The tamil Nadu government has a responsibility to develop robust responses to these queries. As a result, the tamil Nadu government should hasten all legal and political actions, including an appeal to the supreme court, to restore the Vanniyar's 10.50 percent internal quota for education and employment."
