#castecensus — Public Fediverse posts

An enumerator visited my home yesterday for the #caste census, which apparently precedes the Census of India 2027. He noted responses in a mobile phone and a notebook. I replied "casteless." He said that option didn't exist. I said it is what it is. He gave up and asked me several details including my name, phone number, and whether I own an LPG connection, a computer, a TV, or an automobile.

I was told by others that he listed me in the General Caste category.

India needs a caste census – and Southasia does too

Demands for a caste census are shaking up politics and prompting a fresh reckoning with historical injustices in India. Everywhere that caste is endemic, overdue caste counts have the power to do the same. Anil Verghese and Naval Kishore Kumar write.

The alliance against BJP’s hegemony

Congress’s vociferous demand for a caste Census ideologically aligns the party with OBC groups and enhances I.N.D.I.A’s capacity to take on the BJP’s alliance led by upper castes, writes Ajaz Ashraf.
