Hundreds of people demanding quotas in employment and education for India's Maratha minority burned buses, blocked a highway and attacked police with rocks on Monday. Police reinforcements dispersed the angry protesters belonging to the Maratha Revolutionary Front in western Maharashtra state, whose capital is Mumbai. Police officer Natha Jadhav said the protester posted a message on his page saying he was ending his life to support his demand for job quotas, PTI reported. The protesters are demanding that the government expedite the process. On July 25, thousands of protesters attacked buses, stopped train services and blocked highways in parts of Maharashtra state, including Mumbai, to press their demand.
