Members of the Banjara community took to the streets in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, on Wednesday to protest against the proposed internal reservation among Scheduled Castes. The demonstrators marched from Lahoti Petrol Pump to the Deputy Commissioner’s office, staging a dharna that disrupted traffic on major roads. The protest, reported by Deccan Herald, reflects growing opposition to any division of the existing SC quota that could reduce the share reserved for specific sub-castes. Police were present but no violence was reported.
