Assertion (A) : The demand for reservations of various communities for employment is increasing by the day.
Reason (R) : The neoliberal policies of the state have encouraged free markets, reduced jobs and endangered the survival of the poor.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below :
Answer: A
The key's answer is that (A) is true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Assertion: demands from various communities for inclusion in reservation for jobs, such as the agitations of the Jats, Patidars and Marathas, grew steadily in the years before this paper.
Reason: neoliberal policies since 1991 shifted the economy towards free markets, while public sector employment shrank and secure jobs grew scarce. As secure employment became harder to find, groups that had not sought reservation before turned to it as protection, so the Reason explains the Assertion. That rules out the options saying (R) does not explain (A) or that either is untrue.
