Correct option is D
The correct option is: (d) Members of the Anglo-Indian community
Explanation:
Article 330 of the Constitution of India deals with reservation of seats in the House of the People (Lok Sabha) for:
- Scheduled Castes (SCs)
- Scheduled Tribes (STs)
- Scheduled Tribes in the autonomous districts of Assam
Thus, Article 330 explicitly provides reservation only for SCs and STs, including special provisions for STs in Assam’s autonomous districts.
Reservation or representation of the Anglo-Indian community is NOT covered under Article 330.
- The Anglo-Indian community was earlier represented through nomination under Article 331, not by reservation.
- Moreover, Article 331 was discontinued by the Constitution (104th Amendment) Act, 2019.
Hence, Article 330 does not contain provisions relating to reservation in favour of the Anglo-Indian community.
