  1. 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.

  25. Beyond Politics: Caste Census Is About Deepening India’s Social Justice Paradigm

    There is an unstated consensus that the BJP’s Kamandal politics is a necessary evil to reverse Mandal politics. It perpetuated caste hegemonies and stymied numerous progressive policy measures. This is why the INDIA bloc’s championing of the caste census offers a rare window to unleash India’s third democratic upsurge.
