Minister says GOI has not enumerated caste-wise population, other than SCs and STs in Census since independence, not in line with statement made to SC

The Centre has told Parliament that it “has not enumerated” caste-wise populations other than those of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes since Independence, contradicting a statement it made in the Supreme Court three months ago.

In that court affidavit of September 21, the social justice ministry had acknowledged that a Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) had been conducted to “collect the caste of all persons” but said it had thrown up defective data.

Since the population census of 2011 had already counted the SCs and STs, as mandated, one of the stated purposes of the SECC of 2011-12 was to count the populations of the other castes.

But while the SECC data on the economic status of households was released in July 2015, the caste data was not. The speculation is the Narendra Modi government fears that publishing it would lead to demands for increasing the quota for the Other Backward Classes.
