💨 Abstract

The BJP-led government has announced a caste census for the next census, aiming to neutralize the opposition's focus on backward caste empowerment, particularly in poll-bound Bihar and states like Uttar Pradesh. The move is seen as a response to the growing popularity of pro-OBC politics. The BJP hopes that the census will empower non-dominant backward castes and help them win over the deprived sections of society.
