Question
Why were the Constitution makers worried about the weaker sections in an open electoral competition?

Answer

In an open electoral competition the weaker sections don’t stand a chance against the wealthy and educated richer classes and hence their voice will be suppressed in the society. Therefore constitution makers were worried of the weaker sections in an open electorate and hence gave them reserved seats.
