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 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.
