Supplementary notes

In India, scheduled caste, scheduled tribe (SC/ST) and other backward classes (OBC) are officially recognized by the constitution as groups of disadvantaged indigenous people, providing special provisions for their betterment, implementing a 'positive discrimination'. A fixed percentage of the country's government and public sector jobs are reserved for people based on these castes or tribes.

Figures may not not add up to 100 due to rounding off.
