In Mumbai, supporters of activist Manoj Jarange-Patil highlight their struggle for education and opportunities. Among them is 31-year-old Suraj Madan from Jalna, who excelled in school but couldn’t afford engineering. After financial hardships, he found hope through reservation, which allowed him to pursue law. Similarly, 30-year-old Santosh Kadam from Parbhani left school early due to poverty but dreams of a better future for his son. Both stress that reservation ensures access to education, scholarships, and dignity. Villagers even pooled money to support the protests, believing the fight is about securing a brighter future for the next generation.
