Today Bharat Bandh 2024: The Reservation Bachao Sangharsh Samiti has proclaimed ‘Bharat Bandh’ today: August 21, 2024. The Samiti has called for a nationwide shutdown in protest against the apex court’s ruling on SC/ST reservations. Authorities have received directions to maintain law and order during public outcry.
Why Bharat Bandh Today (August 21)?
The Supreme Court has recently permitted the states to create sub-categories within the SC/ST caste.

This decision of SC has sparked controversy across the community leading to a Bharat Bandh tomorrow.
