RHA Mission

Reservation Hatao Andolan (RHA) exists to give India's unemployed and underemployed youth a loud, organised, digital voice — using satire as our weapon and accountability as our goal.

"To replace a system of permanent quotas with a system of transparent, periodically-reviewed, need-based support — so opportunity in India is decided by present-day circumstance, not by a policy frozen in 1950."

What this means in practice

Time-bound review

Push for reservation quotas to be reassessed on a fixed schedule against current data, not left unchanged for decades.

Economic criteria first

Advocate for need-based, economic-criteria-first affirmative action alongside existing categories.

Youth accountability

Hold institutions and political parties accountable for unemployment, paper leaks, and broken promises to India's youth.

Who we serve

Every Indian citizen frustrated by the gap between constitutional promise and everyday reality — regardless of caste, religion, or background. RHA's free membership is open to anyone who shares this mission.
