After 6 Years, Report On Backward Classes Sub-Categories Expected

Описание: Social engineering is likely to be a focus area ahead of next year's general elections as a commission meant to look into the sub-categories of Other Backward Classes submitted its report to the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, on Monday. The report comes amid concerted demands for a caste census from the opposition parties, which are targeting the Backward and Scheduled Caste votes to checkmate the BJP, seen as backing the so-called "upper castes" in the Hindi belt. The commission headed by retired judge G Rohini, formed in October 2017, has had 14 extensions so far. It was initially given 12 weeks to sub-categorise the nearly 3,000 castes within the OBC umbrella.
