Republic Day 2026: How was the Constitution amended in PM Modi’s second term
Since 2019, during Prime Minister Modi's second term, significant constitutional amendments have been enacted to enhance representation for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and women. These amendments include extending SC/ST reservations in legislatures, restoring states' power to identify OBCs, and implementing 33% reservation for women in legislative bodies.
