A citizen-led campaign asking India to revisit how reservation works: who it reaches, how long it lasts, and whether it still serves the people it was designed to protect. Reform, not removal.
No slogans without specifics. Here is exactly what reform means to this campaign — read it, question it, argue with it.
Introduce an income and asset ceiling as a co-factor within reserved categories, so benefits are directed toward those still facing genuine disadvantage today.
Every reservation category should be reassessed every ten years against current census and socio-economic data — not left unchanged for generations by default.
Apply creamy-layer exclusion consistently across every reserved category, so families that have already crossed the threshold of disadvantage step aside for those who haven't.
Publish annual, category-wise data on how reservation benefits are actually distributed and what outcomes they produce — transparency before argument.
Oppose any state or central move to breach the Supreme Court's reservation ceiling without a transparent, evidence-backed case placed before the public first.
An independent, multi-party commission — not a single ministry — to oversee reform, review data, and report directly to Parliament.
"A policy built to correct historical injustice has to keep measuring itself against the present — otherwise it risks protecting yesterday's disadvantage while missing today's."
This campaign is not a rejection of the reasoning behind reservation — the historical case for it is real and well documented. It's an argument that any policy this significant deserves live data, sunset checkpoints, and public accountability, the same way any major government program should.

No. The campaign explicitly does not call for abolishing reservation. It calls for periodic review, an added economic criterion, and consistent creamy-layer exclusion — reform of implementation, not removal of the policy.
