Caste Census: Politically Threatening or a Logistical Hurdle?

1931 is the last time that an OBC column existed in the national census. Why has it been avoided for so many long?

In a show of rare unity amid the ruckus in Parliament over Pegasus and farm laws, the Constitution (127th Amendment) Bill was passed unanimously on 10 August.

The bill, which comes as a corrective measure for the 102 Amendment of 2018, restores the powers of state governments to make their own lists for the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) or OBC’s.
