💨 Abstract

The Indian government, under PM Modi, has announced that caste enumeration will be part of the upcoming census exercise. The decision, described as a "surgical strike on the opposition" by a BJP leader, was taken in response to demands for a "caste census" from opposition parties. The timing of the decision, following a terror attack in Kashmir and ahead of assembly elections in Bihar, has raised eyebrows.
