Shabbir Ansari
Shabbir Ansari is a Muslim OBC activist from the state of Maharashtra. He is a farmer's son and belongs to Jalna.

Shabbir Ansari championed the cause of OBC reservation for backward Muslim communities in India. Islamic Supremacist organizations like Jamaat I Islami had opposed Ansari for creating divisions within the Muslim community. But he never succumbed to them and continued his work. Maharashtra State government in 1994 finally implemented the Mandal Commission recommendations granting reservations to backward communities irrespective of Religion.
