Eminent Sociologist Satish Deshpande Favours Caste Census

Governments of many states of the country and most of the opposition parties, including Congress, continuously demand that the country's caste-wise census be done soon. But the Modi government at the centre has refused to conduct a caste-wise census. Probably after the Lok Sabha elections, the census will now take place. After all, why is caste-wise census frowned upon by the government, elites, mainstream media, and dignitaries from different walks of life? Why is a caste-wise census essential? In #AajKiBaat, senior journalist Urmilesh talks about this topic with sociologist Prof. Satish Deshpande.
