Advocate Asang Wankhede, on Sub-classification of SC/ST and Creamy layer.

Advocate Asang Wankhede, Constitutional Law scholar, Oxford University on recent Supreme Court verdict on Sub-classification of SC/ST and Creamy layer.
His project looks at socio-economic/poverty discrimination in Indian legal policy and judicial adjudication with special reference to existing protected groups in India.
His 2022 monograph Affirmative Action for Economically Weaker Sections and Upper-Castes in Indian Constitutional LawContext, Judicial Discourse, and Critique (Routledge UK) provides first of its kind doctrinal analysis of the reservations for upper-castes and EWS groups in India. The book was notified by the Bar Council of India as a compulsory reference reading for Constitutional Law-I courses in Indian Law Schools. It builds on his MPhil (Law) at Oxford (awarded without corrections) project that critiques the affirmative action for upper-castes and general category in India and explores the theoretical and doctrinal challenges the interventions pose to the concept of substantive equality and core aims of discrimination law.
Asang is currently appointed as the Lead Research Consultant for the Australian Human Rights Commission's first-ever National Community Consultations on Caste Discrimination, 2024. It is a study that aims to capture the lived experiences of caste-oppressed communities in Australia by deploying qualitative empirical research, primarily using focus group interviews and in-depth individual interviews.
Prior to Oxford, Asang obtained his LLM degree in human rights, conflict, and justice from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, with a Distinction in 2018. He read the LLM as a Felix Scholar. He is an alumnus of National Law University, Delhi, and received B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) degree in 2016. He was also the recipient of the prestigious DAAD Scholarship and LLM-SJD Law Faculty Scholarship, University of Wisconsin Law School. He was shortlisted for the European Commission Blue Book Traineeship.

@@booksquotes948do you think this is the way and should policies has to made? Without having any comprehensive data. One of the communities you mentioned has substantial numbers in 4th grade employment. Why not have a comprehensive survey? If what you said so far has come out then there is no harm in making any legislative decisions.
