Bengal passes bills to remove some Muslims from OBC list as ordered by Calcutta HC

Bengal has enacted legislation to remove certain Muslim communities from the Other Backward Classes (OBC) list, following a Calcutta High Court directive. The bill also revises the reservation quota for OBCs from 10% to 7% and reorganizes the OBC categories. This move is significant as it affects the socio-economic benefits reserved for historically disadvantaged groups, sparking debate over social justice and government policy in West Bengal. The changes could have long-term implications for political dynamics and community relations in the state.
