INDIAN CONSTITUTION AND ITS EFFECT ON POLITICIAN IN INDIA
Keywords:
Indian constitution, politician.Abstract
In a recent study we seek to add to the debate on affirmative action policies by examining the effect of one type of affirmative action, quotas in politics for certain ethnic groups or ‘political reservation’, on overall poverty in India. India accounts for one third of the world’s poor, with disadvantaged minority groups in India accounting for a disproportionate share of the poor in India. Poverty reduction is one of the stated goals of public policy, and India has seen a rapid decline in poverty over the 60 years in which its affirmative action policies have been in place. Yet so far, little is known about the effect of affirmative action policies on overall poverty in India. To what extent, if at all, are India’s affirmative action policies responsible for the decline in poverty?
