State policy context · Gujarat
The Patidar agitation from 2015 led to the state's 10% Economically Weaker Sections quota in 2016, which preceded and informed the 103rd Constitutional Amendment upheld by the Supreme Court in 2022. Gujarat therefore has the longest working experience of income-based reservation in India.
