In which year the National Front government made the crucial choice to put into effect one of the recommendations put forth by the Mandal Commission?

1990

National Front (NF) was a coalition of political parties led by the Janata Dal which formed India's government between 1989 and 1990.

In August 1990, the National Front government made the crucial choice to put into effect one of the recommendations put forth by the Mandal Commission. This particular recommendation concerned the reservation of positions for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) within the central government and its affiliated entities. However, this decision triggered a series of fervent demonstrations and violent protests across numerous cities in northern India. Subsequently, the decision was legally contested and escalated to the Supreme Court, ultimately becoming known as the 'Indira Sawhney case,' named after one of the individuals who filed the petition.
