Concerns are incidental when considering a caste census...


The nation's impoverished and common people are dealing with more grave issues. Every region of the nation is affected by a number of issues, including unemployment, inflation, the lack of medical facilities in public hospitals, the need for private hospitals to provide better care, the quality of education provided by public schools, and the dominance of the private sector in the education sector. All opposition parties, including rahul Gandhi's, bring up these concerns, but none of them or their leaders are seen engaging in a protracted public battle on their behalf. It's evident from the statements made by opposition leaders in the last several days that they prioritize the caste census issue.

The political structure that all the parties, including the congress and the BJP, have established over the years is actually fully aware of the fact that garnering votes on the basis of caste and religion is a far easier electoral target than concerns like unemployment and inflation.

Political party existence and caste support

These parties are widespread in india and are founded on the power they have within a specific caste or class. Similar to how religion has been essential in the BJP's growth, there are several powerful parties in various states whose survival and growth are contingent upon the backing of specific castes or communities. Parties like Janata Dal United, Lok Janshakti party, Bahujan Samaj party, Samajwadi party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, and Janata Dal (Secular) may be clearly seen in this. In addition to this, there are numerous smaller parties that are founded on the endorsement of a specific caste.
