What is Vanniyar Movement ? 


Vanniyars are one of the largest and most consolidated backward communities in Tamil Nadu


They had raised massive protests in the mid-1980s demanding 20% reservation in the state, and 2% in central services.


During agitation from September 17 to 23, 1987, many protesters were killed. 


 In 1989, the OBC quota was split into two: Backward Castes and Most Backward Castes


Vanniyars were categorised among the MBCs with 107 other communities, with 20% reservation.

Three decades later, the state government passed a Bill, and the current government has implemented it with a Government Order ensuring 10.5% reservation for Vanniyars within the 20% MBC quota.

There are two reasons to it.  Firstly, since I had reached the interview stage in all my three attempts, I never had the luxury of time to refer to any book.  Secondly, I believe Ma'am's notes are more than enough to form the core aspect of the subject's preparation. I did value addition from multiple sources so as to get an edge in my answers: I referred to copies of toppers of the respective tests that I attempted during my mains ...
