Editorial illustration, not a real photo. Demands are from organisations. Not legal advice. 3 October 2026.
The Kunbi certificate is the key to the OBC quota fight. 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.
What Hake says
Laxman Hake says the certificates will shrink the OBC share. The figure 22,20,577 is his claim. There is no official table in this article. The national OBC federation did not back his Mumbai march. The OBC side is not one voice.
The government line
Devendra Fadnavis has said demands will be seen inside the Constitution and current rules. Vikhe Patil’s delegation paused the fast. Whether the three-month window is kept will show around December.
