SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Caste Census Has Now Emerged As A Major Issue For Political Parties Will a caste census trigger a disaster or settle the demand of many political parties? While itplays such a dominant role in our social, economic, and political life, it is strange that nocredible Caste data has existed since 1931. Also, the prominent four main castes, Brahmin,Kshatriyas, Vaishya, and Shudra, have produced hundreds of subcastes and continue tocreate more sub-sections.The demand to count castes is not new: Every Census in independent India from 1951 to2011 has published data on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, but not on othercastes. Decennial Census until 1931 had data on Caste, but due to World War 11, the 1941census was skipped. After independence, the Nehru government rejected the demand for caste census. Indira Gandhi government turned the Mandal commission recommendationin the 1981 census. In 2001, the Vajpayee government rejected a similar proposal by thethen Registrar General of Census. In 2010 the Manmohan Singh government too dismissedthe inclusion of castes in the Census but surveyed on an economic basis instead. The Modigovernment released only its financial component (in 2015) and withheld the castecomponent. Unfortunately, the decennial population census of 2021 has been postponeddue to the Covid pandemic. Political Parties have already taken sides and sought votes in the name of castes and won.Caste-based parties have also sprung up like the BSP, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya JanataDal, etc. Parties such as JD(U), RJD, SP, BSP, YSRCP, and the DMK depend on certaincaste groups for their political strength. They were leading a heavy campaign for the nextcaste census in 2021. Other leaders, including Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, Tamil Naduchief minister MK Stalin, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav, and Bahujan SamajParty (BSP) chief Mayawati, remain in favour.A caste count might result in a demand for inclusion for reservation. It comes up beforealmost every Census. It became the electoral plank in states like Tamil Nadu, just as manyBihar and Uttar Pradesh political parties made a strong plea for a caste census. Severalcommunities such as Jats in Haryana, Patels in Gujarat and Marathas in Maharashtra havedemanded inclusion under the OBC category.There are arguments for and against the caste census. As for the SC and STs, the quotasare based on the census report. But the OBC reservation was fixed at 27 percent to keep thereservation cap at 50 percent. If the support for the caste census is political, so is the opposition demerging from multiplefactors. A caste-based census will only expose the upper castes who have been the primarybeneficiaries. Secondly, the BJP and the RSS apprehend that a caste count might dent theircarefully built caste alliances.Supporters claim there could be no proper estimate for the OBCs and others without thecaste data. The Mandal Commission estimated the OBC population at 52%, and some othercalculations are based on National Sample Survey data. Still, political parties make theirestimates in states and Lok Sabha and Assembly seats during elections. Incidentally, theNational Commission on Backward Classes, the parliamentary committee on the welfare ofOBCs, and in the past, the Registrar General of Census have endorsed the demand for abackward classes census.Secondly, the caste census was the only way to breach the current 50 percent cap onreservations. The Apex court, too, has recommended caste count was essential to rule onthe 50 percent cap.Thirdly, caste data is vital as a factor in public policy.Opponents argue that such a headcount will harden caste identities and lead to socialfragmentation and caste enmities. It would be not only divisive but also counterproductive. There could be political and social repercussions. BJP leaders argue that several leadersfrom Mahatma Gandhi downwards to Rammonohar Lohia have expressed that castediscrimination has weakened society. They also feel they should not now touch on acomplex and challenging issue.The demand for a caste census goes beyond politics. Opponents and supporters have runtheir argum ents forcefully. - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara It is for the Modi government.

Abhishek Bachchan: Focus of the audience had unfortunately become about box office Agency News: Mumbai
Abhishek Bachchan’s last five consecutive releases all came out when the Covid pandemic hit us. Ludo, The Big Bull, Breathe- Into The Shadows, Bob Biswas and recently, Dasvi all released directly on the web, barring Breathe which was a web show to begin with.While theatres are back on track, so is the talk around box office figures. The 46-year-old was not bothered though when his films had to head the OTT way. “I am an actor, my job is to act. Obviously, we love to be on the big screen, but I think a huge advantage of being on a streaming platform is the kind of reach you have. The audience here is far more than theatres,” he shares.He goes on to add that the penetration of the film to the interior parts is fantastic. “Be it Ludo, The Big Bull... what I heard for Dasvi was that 400 million people were going to have access to it on the web. At the push of a button, or in the palm of your hand. Even if for the sake of debate, 10 percent of that number decided to see it in theatres, that’s 40 million. Take the average ticket price which is ₹120 in India, you do the math. The figure is mind boggling. They are right there, the kind of people who are going to watch the film,” Bachchan reasons. He will next be seen in the third season of Breathe. What had started happening a few years back, and continues to even now, is that even the common people who form a film’s audience, had started rating a film on the basis of it’s collections. “How nice that OTT platforms don’t release this data. The focus of the audience, unfortunately over time had become about box office. For the longest time before, for 80-90 years, it was whether the film is good or not. The number of days a theatre ran was the focus, and it was an after effect of whether the film is good or not,” he recalls.

When he was judging a comedy show, he was absolutely killing it. He has

faces. So people can judge you and may say it’s overacting. Usually, I don’t get affected by people’s opinions, but I am a bit scared this time. How competitive are you?I am not at all a competitive person. I am going to enjoy the process, irrespective of whether I lose.
