In this episode, we look at the agitation by the socially and politically influential Jat community in Haryana which has taken a violent turn and discuss the burning question of caste-based reservation in this country. As the mobs go on rampage in Haryana and political leaders' houses are set on fire, we debate whether this demand for an Other Backward Class or OBC quota by Jats is justified and whether any country should make policies on the basis of violent blackmail.
