💨 Abstract

The Narendra Modi government has announced a historic decision to conduct a caste census as part of the forthcoming census exercise. This move is aimed at promoting social justice and inclusion, and empowering economically and socially backward classes. The decision was criticized by opposition parties for using the caste survey as a political tool, but the government defended it as transparent. The Congress and its allies reportedly opposed the caste census for decades while in power.
