The Other Backward Class (OBC) is a collective term used by the Government of India to classify communities that are "educationally or socially backward".

There is substantial debate over the exact number of OBCs in India;it is generally estimated to be sizable,but many believe that it is higher than the figures quoted by either the Mandal Commission or the National Sample Survey.

The terms are recognized in the Constitution of India and the groups are designated in one or other of the categories.
