ABSTRACT
All India Rangnath Mishra Commission Report Implementation Committee, an organization especially formed to pursue the issue and Markazi Majlis-e-Ulema, Maharashtra organized a rally in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, on 28 January 2010 which was attended by 15,000 people. In 2012, the then Tripura finance minister, Badal Chaudhary demanded suitable amendment of the Constitution to provide reservation to Muslims. In this way, several prominent leaders have argued that giving reservation to Muslims is the need of the hour and a suitable amendment to the Constitution is required to implement the recommendations of the Rangnath Mishra Commission (RMC). The final report of the RMC was submitted to the government in May 2007, but it was not tabled in the Parliament until it got leaked in the media. The government claimed that it implemented the RMC recommendation and thus created the sub-quota. The RMC states, ‘The caste is in fact a social phenomenon shared by all most all Indian communities irrespective of their religious persuasions.
