Around 1885, there was a British officer in Bengal, H.H. Risley. He was deeply interested in understanding and classifying the castes of India. How did his 'count' create an uproar in the entire Punjabi Khatri community? Why did people start flooding the Census officers' offices with petitions? How did a government enumeration become a battleground for social identity?
The government has announced its intention to include caste details in the next census. Why was this decision made? What is the history of the Caste Census?
In this episode, we will unfold this story layer by layer:
Why did the British start counting Caste? Was it just for administration, or also under the policy of 'Divide and Rule'?
Why was the last Caste Census of 1931 so significant? How did its 52% figure become the pivot of Indian politics to this day?
