The result is an eminently readable book. Reservations in jobs and
education have always been a contentious issue. Ever since Prime
Minister V.P. Singh unleashed the Mandal Commission report in 1989,
the issue of reservations has been hotly debated across India's
social and political spectrum. But have reservations really served
the purpose they were intended for? InFalling Over Backwards, Arun
Shourie, with characteristic attention to detail and meticulous
research, points to the truth about reservations: that they are a
sleight of hand of the politician. He also takes apart
pro-reservation judgements of the Supreme Court and, in the
process, bares the larger danger they portend, the danger to the
one dyke that has saved us thus far, the doctrine of the Basic
Structure itself. Tracing the history of reservations from the
Constituent Assembly debates to the latest judgements,Falling Over
Backwardsis a stinging rejoinder to those who advocate reservations
as the panacea for all the ills that plague the nation.
