Reservation for Zoroastrianis (Parsis)


30-Jul-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hello Lawyers, I am a Parsi (Zoroastrian) by birth, as per Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011 (Wikipedia), 15.9% and 13.7% of Parsis are registered under ST and OBC respectively. Please help and guide me in getting ST reservation. I am also ready to pay to lawyer who can get me this certificate please.

According to the Constitution (Scheduled Castes Order) 1950, only marginalised groups/communities that profess Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism can be members of the Scheduled Caste. Originally, only Hindus were eligible for reservation under the Scheduled Caste quota, but in 1956, Sikhs were included and in 1990, Buddhists. Communities/castes of other religions cannot be included in the list of Scheduled Castes. In other words, Muslim & Christian groups are effectively barred from being included in the list of SCs. As far as your facts are concerned relating to 2011 Census in which some portion of parsis have been categorised as SC & STs' is false.
