ABOUT THE BOOK

"Privatization, Constitution and Affirmative Action Policy in India"

The book investigates the impact of privatization on the Indian constitution, affirmative action policies, and the status of the weaker section of society. Since the 1990s, the scope of State institutions or the public sector has gradually shrunk, and a few sectors remain public. Since reservation was only introduced for public institutions, it has become redundant because of the privatization policies. The State is trying to turn all public sectors into the private sector; however, there is a continuous demand for reservations by the dominant castes coming out in India. The book also extensively covers the current debate on affirmative action policies in the private sector. Additionally, the book addresses the judicial discourse on the reservation. The core argument by thinkers who support privatization and reject the idea of reservation is that it compromises 'talented,' 'meritorious,' and 'efficient' candidates. The telos of the book is to revisit and critically examine the concept of merit and debunk its controversy. Therefore, this book addresses the crucial issues resulting from the debate between 'reservation' and 'merit' or 'efficiency.' This book delves into the contemporary constitutional issues concerning privatization and affirmative action policy that significantly impact constitutional democracy and governance in India.
