Excerpt from the same article:let's assume gormint will add muslim and christian castes in the census as well.
-lutyens will say there are no castes in muslims and christians, BJP wallahs will show marriage ads.
what will happen next?
caste data enumerated in the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) of 2011 was fraught with “mistakes and inaccuracies”. The total number of castes according to the 1931 Census was 4,147 and the SECC compiled more than 46 lakh castes, sub-castes and names.
I think the census will focus on both castes and sub-castes, but the main attention will be on the major caste groups.
The real deal with the caste census is who gets to act first. If INDI comes to power, they’ll definitely use the caste census for reservations. NDA would try to get ahead and implement it first to score points for the 2029 elections.
They might use sub-castes to further break down reservations. For instance, in Haryana, they’re testing waters by splitting SC reservations into 10% for marginalized SCs and 10% for others.
Abrahamic faiths will also be counted in the census(let's make it more dirty) to try and win over some votes from their marginalized groups(but they won't get)
There is no other way they can assure their win in 2029 and have a clear majority.
Or maybe they have given up on everything and just want to hold on to power by any means necessary.
