| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | It is the C word that counts.<br/><br/>It has been almost a hundred years since the last nation-wide caste count. The 1931 Census, a British exercise, accounted for 4,147 castes. The Socio-Economic and Caste Census of 2011 returned over 46 lakh caste names. Castes are countless. Caste, by definition, divides. And in the modern period, castes have only multiplied.<br/><br/>Many advocates of social justice believe that counting castes will help redress inequalities. Is this true? What will a more detailed headcount reveal? How will the data be used? In an age when the state often fudges truth and numbers, what are the consequences? Will there be a quota for everyone? Can annihilation of caste ever be a reality?<br/><br/>Anand Teltumbde wades through the history, maths and dynamics of this debate, and lays bare all that is at stake. |
