Freedom Fighter Quota- As recognition to the sacrifices made by persons to in the path of independence of our nation against British Rule

There are separate associations of the beneficiaries of the various quotas and they more or less act as a vote bank to politicians.

Earlier it was done by the Foreign invaders & Britishers, and now by our own leaders, for fulfilling their vested interests.
