India to Conduct Caste Census After 94 Years
Share
In a historic decision, the Indian government has approved a caste census, which will be conducted for the first time in 94 years. The caste census will be part of the national population survey and will gather information about different social groups in India. The last caste census was held in 1931, and since then, there has been no official count of the country’s diverse castes.
This move is being seen as an important step toward understanding the social and economic conditions of various communities in India. By collecting this data, the government aims to create policies that will ensure fairness and equality for all people, regardless of their caste.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several political leaders support this decision, saying it will help address issues of inequality and improve opportunities for people from all backgrounds. The caste census is expected to provide a clearer picture of India’s social landscape, which will help in making informed decisions for the future.
The caste census is an important part of ensuring that everyone in India gets equal opportunities and is treated with respect.
