About Me

Mohammed Ali Shabbir

Mohammed Ali Shabbir, born on February 15, 1957, is an Indian politician known for his contributions to Telangana’s political landscape. Hailing from an agricultural family in Kamareddy, Shabbir Ali began his political journey with the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) in the late 1970s. His father, the late Mohammed Masoom, was a veteran Congress leader who donated his house to establish the regional Congress office, which now serves as the Kamareddy District Congress Committee (DCC) office.

After earning a degree in Commerce, Shabbir Ali joined the Youth Congress and actively participated in various party activities. He gained prominence in 1989 when, along with other Youth Congress workers, he was jailed for 29 days after storming the Legislative Assembly to protest against remarks made by a Telugu Desam Party (TDP) minister against Rajiv Gandhi. Later that year, he contested the Kamareddy seat in the 1989 elections and won by a significant margin. At just 32 years old, he was appointed as a minister in the cabinet of Dr. Marri Chenna Reddy, handling portfolios such as Wakf, Sugar, Fisheries, and Khadi & Village Handicrafts.

What is Muslim Reservation?

Muslim reservation refers to the system of setting aside a certain percentage of seats or positions for Muslims in educational institutions, government jobs, and other areas, with the aim of promoting social and economic equality.

History of Muslim Reservation

The concept of Muslim reservation has its roots in the Indian subcontinent’s history, dating back to the British colonial era. The British government introduced reservations for Muslims in the early 20th century to address their underrepresentation in education and government jobs.

Current Status

In India, Muslims are recognized as a backward class and are entitled to reservation benefits. However, the percentage of reservation varies by state, ranging from 3% to 10%. Some states, like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, have implemented a 12% reservation quota for Muslims.

Court Judgement

THE ANDHRA PRADESH RESERVATION IN FAVOUR OF SOCIALLY AND EDUCATIONALLY BACKWARD CLASSES OF MUSLIMS ACT, 2007

The provision of reservations for Muslims in Andhra Pradesh has been a topic of debate since 2007, when the community was included in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category, with a 4% quota in education and employment. This quota, implemented under a separate category called BC-E, has been continued in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. However, the issue gained fresh momentum when Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to it as a “pilot project” and accused the Congress of trying to extend it nationwide by reducing the quota for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. The Supreme Court has also examined the issue, referring it to a special constitutional bench in 2013. As the debate continues, this website aims to provide insights and updates on the status of Muslim reservations in Andhra Pradesh and its implications.
