- India’s government reversed its stance by approving the inclusion of caste data in the upcoming national census.
- The 50% reservation cap, established by a 1992 Supreme Court ruling, limits affirmative action in education and jobs.
- Opposition parties are intensifying efforts to eliminate this ceiling, which could trigger political shifts reminiscent of the 1990s Mandal protests.
- Persistent caste divisions and slow employment growth fuel widespread demand for expanded affirmative action benefits.
Didn’t I say we’ll make them hold their ears and do sit-ups to get this caste census done?— Lalu Prasad Yadav, reminding his critics with his signature flair.
