The India Today Conclave South hosted a crucial discussion on caste enumeration, a topic significantly impacting national politics. K. Raju, Dr Anbumani Ramadoss, Rakesh Sinha explored why a caste census remains vital in the 21st century, citing historical precedents like the 1911 British India census and its role in social movements and reservation policies. The debate highlighted the disparity within communities, with some speakers emphasizing that current data is nearly a century old. Discussions covered how a comprehensive count could inform welfare schemes, address economic backwardness, and justify existing reservation structures, such as Tamil Nadu’s 69% quota. Concerns were also raised about the potential for politicization and the need to ensure such surveys genuinely lead to affirmative action and development, rather than further societal divisions. The Telangana model of a socio-economic, educational, and political caste survey was presented as a potential blueprint for a nationwide approach to achieve deeper democracy and humanitarian goals. #indiatodayconclavesouth #castecensus #socialjustice #reservationpolicy #indiatodayconclave #equality #affirmativeaction #economicbackwardness #telanganamodel #developmentprojects #inequality #tamilnadu #bihar #karnataka #obc #sc #st #mbc #rohinicommission #justiceparty #communaljio #firstamendment #englishmediumeducation #antyodaya #jandhan #ayushmanyojana #socialreform #assetdistribution #opportunitydistribution #powerdistribution #socialwelfare #primaryeducation #primaryhealth #economicadvancement #politicalpolarization #holisticdevelopment
