🚨 No Drop-Down Menu: Caste Census Format to Stay Completely Open-Ended! 🎯 => Enumerators will simply record the caste name as stated by the respondent.

🚨 BIG NEWS! OBC & General Categories May Remain UNSEEN in Caste Census Data! Reports claim the "Trial form" for Census 2027 carries an “open column” for caste 😳 It has a BLANK space where respondents simply write their caste name. No fixed list or tick boxes 👀 This is the same method used in the 2011 Socio-Economic and Caste Census, which threw up over 46 lakh distinct “caste names” (Gupta, Agarwal and countless variants of the same caste). Everyone outside SC/ST falls into a single “Other” bucket. If this format stays, data on OBC & General categories could once again get LOST in the noise of endless name variants. What do you think of this approach?

#WATCH | Delhi: Congress MP Jairam Ramesh says "BJP withdrew support to the VP Singh government on the Mandal Commission in August 1991, and they started the Camandal agitation to counter the Mandal agitation. So let's not get into this history. I can also go into the history of how the RSS opposed the Constitution of India beginning November 1949 and how Yogi Adityanath has opposed reservations, how RSS leaders have opposed reservations... According to the Constitution of India, the Seventh Schedule, the census is the responsibility of the central government. If the centre does not want to carry out the census, there is no alternative left for states except to do caste surveys. Various states have done caste surveys, including Telangana, Karnataka and Bihar. The Prime Minister has consistently opposed the caste census. On 28 April 2024, he called all those wanting a caste census. Urban naxals. They filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court on 21st September 2021 saying that we are against a caste census and we have no intention of carrying out a caste census...Today's gazette notification says only census will be done in late October of 2026 in Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Himachal and in the rest of the country it will be done in March 2027.

#WATCH | Saharanpur | On Centre's decision to conduct caste census, Aazad Samaj Party—Kanshi Ram, Chandra Shekhar Azad says, "The Azad Samaj Party has consistently raised this demand for a long time. On the 3rd of February, during the Lok Sabha session, I began by raising the issue of the caste census. Even when we were in Delhi in 2024, during a major movement held at Indira Gandhi Stadium, our first demand was for the caste census... When we conducted the review program across 18 circles, starting with Saharanpur, our first demand was the same. We understand the importance of the caste census, and I believe that if a caste census is conducted, we will get valuable data, especially regarding the backward classes. Even the general category will get clarity about the distribution of resources—how much education people have, who owns how much land, who has jobs, etc... However, the government has only talked about it and not set any deadline for implementation. Many in our party believe this is being discussed now because of the Bihar elections, since Nitish ji has already conducted a caste census in Bihar... I believe only after the caste census is actually conducted will we be able to say more. Nothing has been finalized yet—what topics will be included, when it will start, when it will end—all of this is still undecided... I believe only after the caste census is actually conducted will we be able to say more. Nothing has been finalized yet—what topics will be included, when it will start, when it will end—all of this is still undecided... Also, let me clarify that after 1931, no caste census has been properly conducted. The last real caste census was done under the British government... Since then, no caste census has been conducted—neither for backward classes nor for the general category. Until such a census is done, many things will remain unclear... we worry the current government might also reverse its stand after the Bihar elections and say they won’t conduct it..." (30/04)

VIDEO | Here's activist Yogendra Yadav (Yogendra Yadav) said on Union Cabinet approving caste census. "Every 10 years, we have a census in our country, in which every single person living in India is recorded and their details are taken down. In that, for the last 70 years, we have always asked the religion of the head of the household. We have always asked language. We have always asked caste category, SC, ST or others. The only and in the case of SC and ST, we also in the census record the exact caste that they belong to. The only thing we do not do so far is to record the caste for those who are not SC or ST. So, when we say caste census is going to take place, it means that what has always been done in the case of SC or ST will now also be done in the case of OBC and in the case of those who are neither SC, ST or OBC. So for every single household, someone would come and say, what is your language? What is your religion? What is your caste? That is what caste census means. Why is it needed? It is needed because in our country, several policies have been framed based on caste disadvantage. There are policies based on gender. There are policy based on income. But there are also policies based on caste, caste grouping." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

The BJP withdrew its support to the VP Singh government on the Mandal Commission in August 1991, and they started the Kamandal agitation to counter the Mandal agitation. Let's not get into this history. I can also go into the history of how the RSS opposed the Constitution of India beginning in November 1949; how Yogi Adityanath has opposed reservations; and how RSS leaders, including Mohan Bhagwat, have opposed reservations. So let's keep history aside. According to the Constitution of India, the Seventh Schedule, the census is the responsibility of the central government. If the centre does not want to carry out the census, there is no alternative left for states except to do caste surveys. Thus, various states have done caste surveys, including Telangana, Karnataka and Bihar. The Prime Minister has consistently opposed the caste census. On 28 April 2024, he called all those wanting a caste census "urban naxals". He even called the Congress party the same. They filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court on 21 September 2021, saying that they were against a caste census and had no intention of carrying out one. Today's gazette notification says only the census will be done in late October of 2026 in Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, and for the rest of the country, it will be done in March 2027. It does not talk of the word "caste census". So my question is: has the Prime Minister changed his mind again? Why is there no mention of the caste census? Secondly, the budget allocation needed would be ₹9,000 - ₹10,000 crores to carry out a normal census—not the caste census. The total allocation for the census commission this year is only ₹575 crores. So, where is the additional money? When are the allocations going to be made? The Indian National Congress wants the Telangana model to be adopted at the national level. In Telangana, it's not just the caste enumeration that's been done—it also includes getting information on the socio-economic status. All this is missing in this notification by the government. To all those who are saying that Congress has a lot to answer for, the First Amendment to the Constitution in 1951 introduced Article 15(4), which protected reservations for SCs and STs. This amendment was then opposed by Syama Prasad Mukherjee ji, the founder of the Jana Sangh. : Congress General Secretary (Communications) Shri Jairam Ramesh

The Congress party's persistent demand for a caste census in pursuit of social justice has finally paid off. It's due to relentless pressure from the Congress and our leader Shri Rahul Gandhi ji that the BJP government has been forced to announce a nationwide caste census. Our fight doesn't stop here. As the Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana, I'm honoured to inform you that we're the first state to successfully conduct a comprehensive social, economic, educational, and political caste survey. We captured relevant details to establish the marginalisation of different castes, which is essential for formulating targeted policy interventions. The Telangana caste survey serves as a role model. I urge the central government to capture details in the caste census along the lines of Telangana's survey. I thank Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhi for championing this noble cause nationwide and pressuring the Government of India to take action. : Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu ji

I don't think the BJP will ever conduct a caste census properly. But I promise you - whether the BJP does a caste census or not, I will get it passed in Parliament and show it. Because I want to show you the truth about how things are being done against you in this country, how your children's future is being taken away. Caste census is not my political agenda. I'm doing it for my country. I am doing it for truth. - Leader of Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍Bihar

We've been advocating for a Caste Census for some time. The Modi government had previously opposed it, citing reasons we're unclear about. Now, they've suddenly decided to move forward. We wholeheartedly welcome this decision but demand a clear implementation timeline. Telangana serves as a model state for caste census. Having successfully conducted a comprehensive caste census in Telangana, we suggest the national census incorporate some of its effective approaches. We've discussed two other key issues. Firstly, the 50% cap on reservations, which is increasingly becoming an impediment to development, progress and the advancement of backward castes, Dalits, and Adivasis. We advocate for eliminating this barrier. Having successfully pressured the government to conduct a caste census, we'll continue to push for removing the 50% cap. Additionally, we demand the implementation of Article 15(5), which pertains to reservations in private educational institutions—a law that already exists. We urge the government to implement it promptly. I think every Congress member, worker, and every single person who has fought for the caste census—and there are millions of people, activists from the backward communities, Dalits, and Adivasis—I am very proud of what you have done. This would not be possible without the effort and the hard work that you have done. It has been a sustained campaign that we have run, and I am very proud of every single person who has helped us in this campaign. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi

I was watching this Bloomberg video, notice how they subtly insert the fact that this woman was born into the “lowest caste” in “India’s social hierarchy,” even if it’s irrelevant to the story. Keep in mind, this is not accidental—it’s a calculated effort to reinforce the narrative that the “caste system” defines India. The goal is to shape American perceptions, convincing their white audience that Indians are inherently bigoted and perpetuate “caste oppression.” What they deliberately ignore is that India has gigantic welfare programs exclusively designed to benefit the same “lower caste” communities, funded largely by “upper-caste” taxpayers. (Over $35 Billion/year spent for SC/ST welfare) They also avoid addressing how Tamil Nadu, despite being considered one of the most socially progressive states, has some of the highest levels of caste-based discrimination, because most of it is lower caste on lower caste violence, and there is no way to drag "upper castes" into it and start caste-baiting. At the end of the day, the suffering of these women stems from poverty & economic hardship, not caste. It deflects from deeper issues like the failures of Nehruvian socialist policies, as well as, how communist activists have annihilated manufacturing and industries, which is the real driver of poverty. Instead of acknowledging the nuances or the economic roots of poverty, they simplify the issue into a black-and-white story of Oppressors Vs Victims, attempting to dehumanize Indians as a whole. The core objective of all this is to lay groundwork for justifying their future political interference when India tries to stand up to America. They have been demonizing China for decades; now it’s India’s turn. Recognize the propaganda, call it out, and spread the word.

Under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi, the Union Cabinet has decided to conduct a census. Following this, the press release clearly stated that along with the census, a socio-economic assessment will also be carried out, and that the caste census would be conducted for the first time in the history of independent India. Those who once denied the rights of backward classes by not implementing the Kaka Kalelkar Commission report are now suddenly trying to spread lies — and are failing to read what is actually written. This exposes the true nature of their politics. - Dr. Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi Watch full video:

The demand for a caste census was led by the Congress party, particularly by LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi, who has been raising this issue for several years. Due to the party's continuous and forceful demand, the Modi government has yielded and announced a caste census. However, the facts and figures tell a different story. They plan to start the exercise in 2027, but the required funding for the census is ₹10,000 crores, whereas the government has allocated only ₹574 crores. The objective is not just to collect data on an individual's caste but to understand the living conditions of these families and create policies to substantially improve their livelihoods. Without tangible data, no state or central government can implement targeted interventions, which is what we aimed to achieve. Initially, they labeled us "Urban Naxals" and refused to accept these demands. Now, sensing the country's mood, they have accepted the proposal in principle. However, there seems to be considerable confusion and dissatisfaction regarding it. Therefore, I urge the government to be clear and transparent, avoiding extended deadlines and inadequate budget allocations. The idea is to accurately assess the status of people living in India, and caste census is the perfect way to do it. Unfortunately, it appears the government's intention is to buy time, grab headlines, and manage the narrative. : Congress Gen. Secy. Sachin Pilot ji
