AN INQUIRY

The well known #Dalit Activist, #Kancha Ilaiah, has alleged on a national TV Channel tonight that the Dalits, Marathas, Jats, Patels et al, [whom he collectively referred to as the Shudras] command less than 5% seats in the Board rooms, while the #Banyas claim over 35%

This sounds incredible.

1. Do you know of a credible data source to verify such division?
2. Do you have a hunch that this could be true?
3. Can you name some major Boards which seem to show this [dis]proportion?
4. And, if this is found true, what do you attribute this, to?
