Greetings friends, I don't think any caste census is impossible. the same was said for different reasons of impossibility earlier.
why not do this: let people self-identify their caste, then have committees at the state (or even district level) to classify the castes into categories. if people want to say "no caste" or "mixed" then classify them that way (it will allow us to see exactly how many of really refuse to believe in caste or have intermarriages or whatever). pass it on, Gail > http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Gotras_make_OBC_census_impossible/articleshow/2396144.cms > > Gotras make OBC census impossible: RGI > 24 Sep 2007, 0019 hrs IST, Subodh Ghildiyal, TNN > > > NEW DELHI: ------------------------------------ ---- INFORMATION OVERLOAD?
