| Backward Classes (BC) means SCs, STs and OBCs |
According to the Constitution of India, the nomenclature 'Backward Classes (BC)' means SCs, STs and OBCs. Here 'OBC' means 'Other Backward Classes' i,e other than the SCs and STs. The Constitution has mentioned the terms like 'Backward class of citizens' in Article 16(4) and 'the weaker sections of the people' in Article 46.
Let we see what the aforementioned Articles says:
1. Article 16(4):
Nothing in this article shall prevent the State from making any provision for the reservation of appointments or posts in favor of any backward class of citizens which, in the opinion of the State, is not adequately represented in the services under the State.
2. Article 46:
Promotion of educational and economic interests of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections. The State shall promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people, and, in particular, of the SC and the ST, and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation.
Not all the Backward Classes (BC) i.e., SCs, STs and OBCs are listed under Hinduism:
* The SCs are listed under only three religions namely Buddhism, Sikhism and Forced Hinduism Label. This Forced Hinduism label status was done by Mr. Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1932. Now demand for inclusion of Christianity and Islam in the SCs list has been going on.
* The STs are listed under all religions in India i.e., Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam, Jainism, Zoroastrianism and Hinduism.
* The OBCs are listed under all religions in India i.e., Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam, Jainism, Zoroastrianism and Hinduism.
