For more than a decade, the maratha group, which accounts for around 33% of Maharashtra's population, has demanded reservations in education and government positions. In 2019, the state government awarded them 16% reserve, which exceeded the supreme Court's 50% ceiling.
In 2021, the supreme court overturned the 16% quota, citing the 50% ceiling. Since then, demonstrations have persisted, led by various leaders and organisations, frequently resulting in violent agitations.
