Caste Census U-Turn: BJP’s Big Shift Ahead of 2024?

In a dramatic political reversal, the BJP-led central government has announced a caste-based census—despite years of opposing it. This major shift aligns with long-standing demands from the Congress and the INDIA alliance, who have pushed for caste enumeration under the slogan "jitni abaadi, utna haq" (rights in proportion to population).
Prime Minister Modi's government, once critical of the idea, now claims the data will drive inclusive development—not caste division. With elections looming, analysts say this move is a strategic effort to win back OBC and backward caste support. Opposition parties, while welcoming the move, are calling for transparency and timely release of the data.
Will this political U-turn reshape India’s social justice framework—or is it just another vote-bank ploy? Watch the full analysis with Shibnath, only on Democratic News TV.
