In a landmark decision, the Indian government has officially announced that caste enumeration will be included in the upcoming 2025 national population census. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed this major policy shift during a Cabinet briefing, stating that the move aims to bring transparency and social justice to India's demographic data.
This historic decision follows years of demand from various political parties, especially the Congress and opposition alliance INDIA bloc, who have consistently advocated for a nationwide caste census. States like Bihar have already conducted their own caste surveys, with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar pioneering the initiative in 2023. The central government's move is expected to have a far-reaching impact on reservation policies, economic planning, and social welfare schemes for OBCs, SCs, STs, and EWS.
In this detailed report, anchor Shibnath analyzes the political, social, and historical significance of the announcement. We cover the timeline, key political reactions, and what this means for India's future.
