520 _aAffirmative action through exclusive quotas for India's disadvantage in public services and education has caused strikes, protests and riots in India. Parliament and the Supreme Court echoed divergent solutions resulting in dramatic clashes between Parliament and the courts. Earlier, bitter controversies between courts and Parliament in the Nehru era were over land reform (1950-67), and Mrs. Gandhi's era, it was over parliamentary sovereignty (1967-77). This book is about the third major crisis (1995-2008) over 'quota reservations' in the civil services and education.
