"Removed the noting that the amendment ""allowed the govt. to supercede the judiciary"". parliament makes the laws and the judiciary enforces the laws. In Inamdar, the court held that the action was against the constitution, so the constitution was amended. This is not about superceding the court, it is about the natural exercise of the powers of Parliament. As long as parliament does not change the ""Basic Structure"" of the Constitution, such as make India into a theocracy, they can change the Constitution.  

 In addition, I believe that it is crucial that it be noted that the amendment specifically gave the govt the power to reserve seats in all colleges, even in private ones.
