The debate over education quotas in Mumbai is not new. In 2005, the Maharashtra government passed a law reserving 27% of seats in higher education institutions for students from OBCs (Other Backward Classes), SCs (Scheduled Castes), and STs (Scheduled Tribes). However, the law was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2008 on the grounds that it violated the principle of equality.

Conclusion
The Gymkhana’s proposal has been met with mixed reactions. Some support the call for quotas, arguing that it is a necessary step to address the educational disparities faced by Muslims in Mumbai. Others oppose the proposal, arguing that quotas would be discriminatory and would not be an effective way to improve the educational outcomes of Muslim students.
