Hi Eduardo, Reeve Vanneman at the University of Maryland maintains the India District database. "The Indian district database combines district-level data from census and agricultural sources between 1961 and 1991". http://vanneman.umd.edu/districts/index.html As far as I am aware, the last Census to ascertain caste before the most recent one was that of 1931. For an example of mapping some of that data see Joseph E. Schwartzberg The Distribution of Selected Castes in the North Indian Plain <https://librarysearch.adelaide.edu.au/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=cdi_proquest_journals_1290293821&context=PC&vid=61ADELAIDE_INST:UOFA&lang=en&search_scope=all&adaptor=Primo Central&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,schwartzberg caste&offset=0> *Geographical review*, 1965-10-01, Vol.55 (4), p.477-495.
