The Siddaramaiah government has finally taken a long-pending decision on the question of internal reservation for Dalits, a subject that has sparked heated debates and created sharp divides within the community. In a special cabinet meeting on Tuesday, it was decided that the 17% reservation meant for Dalits will now be split into three parts: 6% each for the Left-Hand and Right-Hand groups, and 5% for non-untouchable and nomadic communities like Bhovi, Lambani, Koracha, and Korama.
