Census and Caste Census Important Topic for UPSC Prelims and Mains | Indian Polity GS Paper 2

Описание: In this video, we explain the Census and Caste Census debate in India from a UPSC perspective, focusing on constitutional, political, and governance dimensions relevant for GS Paper 2 and Indian Polity. Aspirants often get confused between Population Census and Caste Census, their objectives, data collection process, and policy implications.

This session clearly differentiates between population census and caste-based enumeration, explains the constitutional status of census in India, and examines arguments for and against caste census in terms of social justice, federalism, welfare targeting, and political representation.

We also discuss why caste census has become a recurring issue in current affairs, how it impacts Centre–State relations, and what UPSC expects in mains answer writing and prelims MCQs.

This video is highly useful for UPSC Prelims, GS Paper 2 Mains, and interview preparation.
