I am preparing for karnataka sub inspector exam and I am veerashaiva lingayath should I enter my cast as 3B or general in state karnataka government?
Dear student
Veerashaiva lingayath has been included in 3BCcategory and backward class.They deserve 5% reservation for their backward class community.
They cannot be included as general category.
Veerashaiva lingayat community is a backward class whose prophet basavanna preaches The Hindu religion who has a believe for non ritualistic worship to Lord Shiva. They hold strong community in Karnataka. Out of 224 assembly seat they hold hundred seats there.
