Maratha versus OBC is Maharashtra’s sharpest reservation search this year. Manoj Jarange wants Marathas with Kunbi genealogy inside the OBC quota. He cites the Hyderabad, Satara and Aundh gazettes. On 17 September 2026 he ended a 20-day fast and gave the government three months.
Hake’s front
Professor Laxman Hake says Kunbi certificates will shrink the OBC share. The figure 22,20,577 certificates is his claim, not a table in this article. The national OBC federation did not back his Mumbai march. The OBC side is not one voice.
The government
A delegation led by Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil met Jarange to end the fast. The Maha Yuti government has three months to state a position. Devendra Fadnavis has said demands will be seen inside the Constitution and current rules.
