Explore the complex and evolving landscape of caste in India with ‘The Caste Con Census.’ This compelling book delves into the contentious issue of caste enumeration, questioning whether a nationwide count can truly address deep-rooted inequalities. The 2011 Socio-Economic and Caste Census revealed an astonishing proliferation of caste names, far exceeding the 1931 count. As castes multiply and divide, can a detailed headcount offer solutions for social justice? What are the implications of such data in an era of manipulated truths? Will this lead to a quota for all, or can the annihilation of caste ever be achieved? Discover the potent impact of counting castes and its role in shaping India’s future. A must-read for those seeking to understand modern social dynamics and the persistent influence of caste.
