Rajasthan Gujjars are not stopping anywhere and asking for their “unfair” share in the reservation quota. On one side, where the reservations have infused enough imbalance in the country, the Gujjars in Rajasthan are just concerned about their extra 5% extra share. After December, 2016, this agricultural ethnic group have not settled for any less and now they have departed for the hunger strike.
Though the decision was taken by the High Court with no involvement of ruling government, CM Raje assured the panicking crowd to have some faith in the government. Provoked by the self-interested leaders, Gujjars have chosen to take a less cooperative pathway and this hunger strike is one example of that.
On contrary, the state government is taking all necessary steps in favour of Gujjars and filing PIL on their behalf was one such important decision. Dev Narayan Scheme is one another attempt for the welfare of Gujjars to boost them for better performances in academics and education.

Himmat Singh, who is spokesperson of the samiti said, “Five of our men, who reached Sikandra from different districts of the state, have begun indefinite hunger strike from Thursday. We have called the maha-panchayat on February 25 to decide the course of our further agitation”.
Their community maha-panchayat will be held at Gulda-Pahedi, close to Karauli on February 25th. This will be centred to the separate 5% quota demand within 50% reservation limit.
More than their real issues, the community is ridden majorly by Kirori Singh Bainsla who manages to point out the dearth in the community.
The gujjar hunger strike is for the indefinite period for recovering their lost benefits back. If only, these communities could think of bringing little balance, they would not have been fighting hard for that extra cherry on their pie.
