Dangal: Why is Modi government afraid of caste census?

The Centre on Wednesday told the Parliament that it will not collect fresh data for caste census. The Census 2021 exercise, when carried out, will enumerate only those SCs and STs that were notified through the constitutional orders of 1950, the government informed Parliament on Tuesday. Union minister Nityanand Rai said this in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha on whether the government is planning to undertake a caste census along with the General Decennial Census 2021. But the question is, why is Modi government afraid of caste census? Watch debate in Dangal.
