In a significant development for the Maratha reservation movement, the Maharashtra government has issued a key resolution. The government announced that historical records from the Hyderabad Gazette will be considered valid evidence for issuing Kunbi caste certificates to members of the Maratha community. This decision effectively equates Marathas with the Kunbi community, which is classified under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category. The move will enable Marathas to access reservation benefits in education and government jobs. This breakthrough comes amidst an ongoing indefinite hunger strike by activist Manoj Patel and is seen as a potential resolution to the long-standing demand for a Maratha quota. Local authorities in districts like Aurangabad, Bir, Jalna, Ahmednagar (referred to as Ahmed Usamabad in the transcript), and Parbhani have been directed to publicise and implement the decision.
