- Event Purpose : Seventy-five years after India's Constitution came into force, the debate around reservation remains as vital — and as misunderstood — as ever. The Indian Lawyers Association convenes this webinar to replace rhetoric with rigour, and opinion with constitutional analysis. Our purpose is to examine the original intent of the framers, the evolution of Supreme Court jurisprudence, and the real-world impact of reservation policy — through the lens of law, not politics. We bring together diverse and distinguished voices to ensure that every perspective — legal, academic, and social — is heard with equal respect. This is not a debate to be won; it is a constitutional conversation long overdue.
ILA Webinar on - Reservations in India: 75 Years Later Constitutional Intent, Judicial Interpretation, and the Road Ahead
Seventy-five years after the adoption of India's Constitution, the question of reservation remains one of the most important and nuanced issues in our legal and constitutional landscape. The Indian Lawyers Association brings together distinguished voices from law, academia, and policy for a serious, balanced, and data-driven constitutional dialogue.
This is not a political debate. It is a constitutional symposium — anchored in the text of the Constitution, the evolution of judicial interpretation, and the empirical record of policy outcomes.
Key Themes
-Constitutional Foundations
What did Articles 14, 15 & 16 intend? Was the reservation meant to be temporary?
-Judicial Evolution
From Indra Sawhney to the EWS judgment — what has the Supreme Court shaped?
-Policy & Ground Reality
Has reservation achieved its goals? What does the data say about upliftment?
-The Road Ahead
Sunset clauses, reform models, and the role of judiciary vs. legislature.
