The book throws light on hither to unnoticed areas of contradictions in the constitutional provisions made for the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes. It discusses the reasons for protection discrimination and critically evaluates the principle of Adequate Representation. Who’s empowerment is it any way, and who need protection from the state are the important concerns of this study.
