'We Are Kunbis, Why Separate Reservation For Us?' Maratha Quota Activist To NDTV

Manoj Jarange Patil, face of the Maratha quota agitation, has been on an indefinite hunger strike since October 25.

Marathas belong to the Kunbi caste, which comes under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category, and are not demanding any separate reservation, quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil said during an exclusive interview with NDTV.

Mr Patil, face of the Maratha quota agitation, has been on an indefinite hunger strike since October 25. This triggered a fresh wave of protests and violence broke out in parts of the state on Monday.
