Jeddah: The NRI community that belongs to the Schedule Caste (SC) Madiga community hailed the Supreme Court’s historic judgement on SC Sub-categorisation.

“I have been hearing about sub-categorisation of SCs since childhood,” said G. Narender (35), who belongs to the Madiga community and hails from Nirmal district and working in Dubai. He described it as a dream come true for the community.

Celebrating the historic judgement, he asked what could be more pleasing news than sub-categorisation.“It was a historical victory”, said PVG Raja, who hails from Kadapa district and works in Kuwait and worked with the MRPS for a long time.
