President Ram Nath Kovind granted assent to the Constitution (105th Amendment) Act, 2021, which empowers states to identify and specify the Socially and Educationally Backward Class (SEBC). The Constitution (105th) Bill 2021 was passed by the Parliament on August 11, 2021. What is more surprising is that this bill was passed without an iota of protest at a time when the govt and the Opposition were at loggerheads throughout the Monsoon session over the Pegasus controversy and farm laws.
