Jaats for the win

Possibly a successful massacre

While the jaats took the city by the force the government failed to execute their orders, questions arose from beyond this decade, why do they finally want their part of the reservation?

In case you didn’t know jaats are the agriculture caste group residing in many parts of north India, asking for their own quotas in the Indian reservations system.

While them sitting on roads playing cards and smoking hookhas, blocking the traffic and agitating the public wasn’t considered the most considered the most proper method of a protest the jaats considered it the only way to voice their opinion.

Paramilitary forces were called in, in many parts where the protests were fairly more active, 16 dead along with twenty-five thousand crore worth of property loss. Delhi and NCR were affected interns of disturbances and utter chaos.

Even after the government agreed to their terms and were willing to have a further discussion the protesters went for another 24 hours.
