Seems to be outcome of movement for reservation under 2A category in the OBC list
While the Lingayat-Panchamasali movement for reservation under 2A category in the OBC list in Karnataka is yet to achieve its goal, a few leaders of the community have begun covert efforts to establish a separate platform, as an alternative to the existing two peethas (seat of religious knowledge) of the community. Around 30 seers of various mutts of the Panchamasali community recently met at the residence of a community member at Jamakhandi in Bagalkot district to draw up a blueprint.More Related News
