Datar: “Judged by the aforesaid standards we must hold that inclusion of the politically organized classes in the list of backward classes mainly, if not solely, on the basis that on same parameters other groups who have fared better have been so included cannot be affirmed.”

Datar: Take Ram Singh, and simply replace Jats with Marathas, and the entire issue will be decided. There is nothing to merit for the inclusion of Marathas in the Backward Classes list. There has been no extraordinary situation. I conclude on this note.
