    Citing international experiences — policies adopted by other countries like Malaysia and South Africa — Thorat asks for legal provisions against discrimination in the form of ‘‘anti-discrimination laws’’.

    Thorat is the second key member of the Oversight Committee, headed by Veerappa Moily, to air his views in public on the issue. Planning Commission member Prof B Mungekar had also written for a Sahmat (Left outfit) publication, advocating quotas for OBCs, in an article titled In defence of quotas: Stigmatizing majority is morally indefensible.
