Is caste census essential for achieving social justice in India?

Social justice in India has always been tied closely with caste. Without knowing the exact social and economic status of each caste group, how can the government ensure everyone is treated fairly? A caste census could offer that clarity and help policymakers create more inclusive programs.
 
However, some believe that over-reliance on caste-based data might ignore other important aspects like gender, rural-urban divide, or economic class. Do you think caste census is the key to real social justice or should India look beyond caste? Take part in our poll and let’s build a conversation around a fairer India.
