The Indian government has dismissed the Congress party’s request for a caste-based census, stating that it is not feasible. The demand for a caste-based census was made by the opposition party to gather data on the socio-economic status of different caste groups in the country. However, the government believes that collecting such data could lead to social tensions and divisions. The decision to reject the demand was announced following a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. The government emphasized the importance of unity and inclusivity in the country and stated that policies should be based on the principle of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’. The issue of caste-based census has been a contentious one in India, with various political parties and social groups expressing different opinions on the matter. While some argue that a caste-based census is necessary to address social inequalities and discrimination, others believe that it could further entrench caste divisions. The government’s decision to reject the Congress party’s demand is likely to spark further debate on the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
