Solution

A proportion of seats in the Lok Sabha is reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) to ensure that these communities get proper representation in Parliament. Historically, they faced social discrimination, inequality, and lack of opportunities. Reservation helps them participate in the decision-making process and ensures that their concerns and interests are represented. It also promotes equality, social justice, and inclusive democracy.
