💨 Abstract

The article discusses the Narendra Modi government's decision to conduct a caste census, which has been delayed for five years. The census is seen as troublesome and electorally loaded, as it may influence upcoming elections. Critics argue that previous governments have collected caste data but failed to use it effectively, and there are concerns that the data may lead to a cascade of worse ideas and increased reservations without addressing the lack of jobs.
