# Bhagwat says reservation must continue while social discrimination persists 2026-08-06T16:40:30+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said reservation in education and jobs should continue as long as social discrimination persists. Speaking at a Gen Z interaction in Mumbai, he said beneficiaries should consider voluntarily giving it up after gaining upliftment, so others can benefit. He urged that the issue not be politicised and referred to Dr BR Ambedkar’s approach to reservation. Bhagwat also called for education reforms, including better teacher training, fee review and a six per cent share of the national budget for education. He said India should value entrepreneurship, skills and manual work alongside government and service jobs. On Pakistan and China, he backed dialogue and said political conflicts should not permanently sever people-to-people ties. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - businesstoday.in Tags: education, Gen Z, Mohan Bhagwat, reservation, RSS Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bhagwat-says-reservation-will-continue-while-social-discrimination-persists/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
