💨 Abstract

The Modi government's endorsement of a caste census, initially advocated by Rahul Gandhi, aims to address historical injustices and improve welfare targeting. However, critics warn it may strain the economic climate, widen cultural divides, and fuel divisive politics rather than data-driven policy. The Justice Rohini Commission's findings highlight inequities in OBC benefits, suggesting the need for refined targeting within existing quotas.
