Socio-economic caste census:Numbers not being revealed to hideupper caste dominance in governance?

READ MORE ON » representative | Narendra Modi | Modi | Lalu Prasad Yadav | Jat | critical mass | ChristianHimachal

Nobody has ever accused former Bihar

chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav of

number crunching. All his life he has milked

cows and caste without ever needing to

count. Yet, he is all set to lead a protest

march in Patna on July 13 seeking the

publication of caste data in the socio-

economic caste census. If the other big

Yadav chieftain, Mulayam Singh Yadav,

rakes it up in Uttar Pradesh too, this issuecan assume critical mass forcing the BJP-

led central government to act. And if it

doesn't act, the refusal to publish caste numbers could become a rallying point against

the BJP in the Bihar polls, where castes are the constant factors in the poll calculus.

The pundits have insisted that the government is hiding the caste census data fearing a

backlash from the backward castes. According to the 1931 census and the 1980 Mandal

commission, the backward classes numbered around 54% of the total population and if

the new census figures are higher than this, the backward classes could ask for a bigger

share in education and jobs.

Denial of caste numbers could be portrayed as an attempt to deny the rightful proportion

of jobs and educational opportunities and be turned into an emotive issue for Lalu

Prasad's 12% Yadavs who lag behind in education, jobs and upward mobility.

If Yadav identity and the denial of rights become the big issue, Lalu could hope to get his

Yadav brethren to ensure a remarkable comeback after being relegated to the sidelines

of Bihar politics.

A Conspiracy Theory

But is that all? Is the government hiding the figures just to deprive the other backward

classes (OBCs) of a few seats in government educational institutions or a clutch of jobs in

the dwindling government job market?

Well, the government circles are abuzz with a conspiracy theory of a different kind. Unlike

the pundits who believe that the government has conspired to deny the backward masses

a little more of their due, some top bureaucrats believe that the attempt is not to hide the

Not to be Missed

OBC figures but to suppress the more dangerous upper caste numbers.

A large section of the upper castes, particularly the castes that dominated the upper and

lower bureaucracy, had a long time ago shifted their focus to the private sector. They now

control the wheels of power in the entire private sector where no Dalit or OBC can easily

break the invisible glass ceiling. It is not government jobs that would bother the upper

castes, but the government itself.

The upper castes have been running governments at the Centre and the states for so

long that they don't want the caste census to finally proclaim that the Indian democracy isnot really representative.

The only backward caste minister of any consequence in the Narendra Modi cabinet is

Modi himself. In the 27-member cabinet, 20 are from upper castes.

Roughly 30 per cent or eight of the cabinet ministers are Brahmins, four are from the

Kshatriya community and there is Vaishya, Kayastha, Kamma, Maratha and Khatri

representation. So, less than 10 per cent of the population is virtually running the

government and ruling the masses. If the OBC numbers are about 60 per cent of the total

population and the SC/ST, the only known figures, are 30 per cent, the upper castes can

only be 10 per cent of the population. Or if we go by the generous Mandal Commission

figures the upper caste numbers ought to be just 16-18 per cent and nothing more.

Now, the strangest aspect of the Indian democracy is that since Independence we have

been ruled only by the upper castes: about 50 years by Brahmins, if we count Rajiv

Gandhi too, 10 years by a Khatri Sikh and the others have largely been blips on the

governance radar. Former prime minister HD Deve Gowda's Vokkaligas are backward, so

he is the first backward caste PM. Though Modi's caste was listed as OBC in 1994, he

played the caste card only during the 2014 polls, and now his team is largely upper caste.

This is the context in which the BJP government is refusing to announce the exact

number of upper castes in the country.

States No Different The situation is similar in many states. West Bengal, Maharashtra,

Tamil Nadu and Goa have Brahmin chief ministers, Rajasthan has a Maratha from a

former royal family, Telangana a Velama landlord caste, Andhra a Kamma, Haryana a

Khatri, Punjab a Jat Sikh, Kerala an upper caste Christian, Himachal a Rajput and so on.

In the 29 states of the Indian Union, there are hardly five or six OBC chief ministers and

no Dalit leadership.

According to a story making the rounds, when the caste data was compiled a top official

was so startled to see the upper caste numbers (because they were insignificantly low in

comparison with the rest of the castes) that he immediately jumped into his vehicle and

sped towards Raisina Hill to share the findings with his bosses. They too were convinced

that the upper caste numbers are dangerously low to be revealed to the world. Whether

the story is true or false, only a disclosure of caste numbers can push administrators and

people towards proportionate representation in all walks of life.

caste is a harsh reality, if anybody has doubt in it he must go through matrimonial of any

newspaper. secondly to give an end to the debate over reservation, it is utmost

necessary to collect data of socio-economic condition of upper caste and sc/st/bc/obc.

Whether anybody accepts it or not but the article is correctly highlighting the cast culture

of ruling party!!! You cant argue deny that most of them are upper class!!! Historically if

you see Brahmins are very arrogant..bcoz of this arrogance partition has happened!!!

They will do a nything to keep theier supermacy intact hence these ppl supported the

Muslim rulers first and got in their DARBAR after that they supported Britishers making

entry into govt jobs and policies so na turally after independence they kept the same

trend

There are no upper class and lower class Hindus. Hindus are divided into Aryan Hindus

and Non Aryan Hindus and this weakens their effective strength.. While Aryan Hindus

are Immigrant Hindus from Middle East, Non Aryan Hindus are Ab-Original Indians. I do

wish BJP should lead the Indian Politics eliminating the corrupt Congress and Cruel

Communist lead opposition parties. To Achieve this both Aryan Hindus and Non Aryan

Entire religion/caste-system is anti Indian. India needs merit based society/opportunities

in all spheres,positions, levels.......... More we talk about it, more it is getting deep-rooted.

Remove all caste details from all application forms, statistics; devise merit based

enquiries/details in all forms. Give financial help to poor rather than based on caste-

status. If not done, one India will be known on world map as "India BC/OBC" as most of

so called upper-class Indian are trying to move out country. Such emigrants prefer to be

called second class residents in USA/UK than in their own country,India.

The socio-economic caste census was obviously originated by a mischievous mind

driving the wedge of caste divides blazed by the Congress Party and its ilk for the last six

decades . The sooner the Country drops the whole concept of any 'divides' and majority /

minority issue in governance the better . Until and unless this pernicious concept is

wiped out of our society and mindset of the people , the Nation wil l never get the uni ty

which inept and thoughtless political leade rs had almost perpetuated . Nothing is for

ever . It only has to be proven by the wisdom of the leader to carry his team and the

ability to lead a billion people still to be enlightened in matters National . The challenge

is there ; it is for the people to accept it and to get together to achieve the desired results

or fail - back to square one , just surviving as a still developing country .

I believe that the government should declare the facts to the people of India. The

previous government did not disclose the religious demographic details of the 2011

census. People have a right to know. Along with the caste details, the government

should also declare the 2011 census details. The present government is also trying to

use the same tactics as the previous governments, which is causing resentment among

the people. A number of U turns on innumerable matters is adversely affecting the

credibility of the government. In order to retain its halo of transparency, the government

should desist from such actions which are causing disillusionment in the minds of the

people.

The backward and SC / ST, must be supported to avail all the amenities to reach the top

but at the end only deserving must be selected for the top post. If we select A cricket

team, Army of the country, the scientist of the country....etc based on the caste, we will be

beaten by even Bangladesh and Pakistan every time in all fields. There is a rampant

reservation in go vernment posts all over India and we know how bad is the government

work in almost all these field and now the government want to privatize every field.
