The ongoing demand for ethnic census since independence
On Wednesday, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnav had briefed the cabinet meeting and said that the government has decided to conduct ethnic census with the upcoming census. Actually, the demand for caste census in the country has been going on since independence. The previous ethnic census took place in the year 1931 during the British rule. However, castes were also calculated in the 1941 census, but the government did not make its figures public. At the time of the 2011 census, there was a loud demand.
What is ethnic census?
Caste census means different counts of people of all castes in India. That is, whenever there is a census in the country, it will also be counted on the basis of caste of people. Although even before this, there has been ethnic count in the country, but only the figures of scheduled castes and tribes were counted and published. But now OBCs will also be counted in the next census and the government will also make their figures public.
