@jaffrelotc We need data, showing representation of different castes in different institutions. This is one of the ways to assess the degree of representativeness and hence democratisation, this is true for India and other countries.
@jaffrelotc Those who come from one group will be inclined to speak about their group, especially in parliament. I started looking at this data of Members of Parliaments, in the 80s and this data is a goldmine.

I will speak from my experiences of reporting on Hindutva, before coming to the caste census. Hindutva is not just about mobs wearing shawls, red marks on their forehead. It is more about people who want Hinduism as the normal politics of the country.
First coined by Savarkar, he says Hindutva is about common religion, common heroes, common history, common festivals, common flow of blood, everyone born this side of Sindhu. He says Christian and Muslim communities are not Hindu because they do not have this common history.
The keynote address for the 2nd day of the #CasteCensus Conference begins now!

@PatankarPrachi Bharat Patankar- Today we cannot decide on a program of caste annihilation. The information from the census will be useful only if it liberates people from caste mode of production.

@rumlolarum all the panelists have one thing in common, that they are always invited to speak on the 'caste factor' and not as artists, doctors, journalists. #CasteCensus #CountingCaste
@KotwalMeena is the founder of @The_Mooknayak and has faced a lot of hate and violence online for her work.
