Extensively used in India, where the Constitution provides for reservation for the Scheduled Castes (Untouchables) and Scheduled Tribes (aboriginals). These two groups currently make up just under a quarter of the population, and should receive a proportionate share of reserved positions (although job and educational quotas often remain unfilled). Frequent attempts have been made to extend the scope of reservation, most notably 1990 when the V. P. Singh government attempted to implement the recommendations of the Mandal Commission (1978) which would have extended reservation to 49.5 per cent of the population. The resultant political uproar brought down the government, and the clamour for special treatment amongst caste and religious groups has pervaded political debate. In the 1990s the reservation of seats in local government was extended to women, although caste-based interventions have undermined attempts to introduce legislation to secure a one-third quota for women in the Indian parliament. Reservation policy can be seen to have given opportunities to those who would otherwise have been excluded, but they have also perpetuated caste divisions, and their effectiveness in improving the social and economic position of the wider population, rather than just a ‘creamy layer’ of beneficiaries, is likely to be limited.

A clause in a deed of real property whereby the grantor, one who transfers property, creates and retains for the grantor some right or interest in the estate granted, such as rent or an easement, a right of use over the land of another. A large tract of land that is withdrawn by public authority from sale or settlement and appropriated to specific public uses, such as parks or military posts. A tract of land under the control of the Bureau of Indian Affairs to which an American Indian tribe retains its original title to ownership, or that has been set aside from the public domain for use by a tribe.
