Manoj Jarange begins hunger strike for Maratha Reservation in Mumbai, demands OBC status
Maratha reservation movement leader Manoj Jarange has started a hunger strike at Azad Maidan in Mumbai. The movement is demanding inclusion of the Maratha community in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category and 10% reservation. Jarange wants all Marathas to be recognized as “Kunbi” (an agrarian caste that is included in OBC) so that they can get reservation benefits in government jobs and educational institutions.
