The reservation in government jobs provided to Christian Nadar community recently by including them in the State OBC list would remain unchanged as the Supreme Court has upheld the State governments' right to modify the Other Backward Classes (OBC) list for providing reservation in employment to State services. Those at the Kerala State Commission for Backward Classes arrived at the conclusion after reviewing the Supreme Court order in the Maratha Reservation Case and evaluating its fallout in the State. “The apex court order will not have any impact on the Christian Nadar community's recent inclusion in the OBC list as they would be provided reservation in employment from the general pool of Other Backward Communities. The caste-based reservation provided to the communities in the State would not exceed the 50 per cent cap even with the inclusion of the Christian Nadar community in the OBC list. Hence, Christian Nadar reservation will remain untouched by the apex court order,” said G. Sasidharan, chairman of the Commission.
