Caste census: Clamour emerges over how sub castes are classified

In the midst of a oyster to bring together all the subspecies in front of the numbering of the Socio-Education Survey conducted by the Karnataka State Commission from 22 September for the number of classes for the number of subsidiaries, the Commission refused to entertain their demands by referring to legal obstacles to bring together all the subsidiaries.

Two weeks ago, the commission published 1,400 caste/ sub -caste list, which called for alphabetical suggestions and objections. Vokkaligas, Veerashaiva Lingayats, Brahmins, Kurubas, Christians and Muslims’ sub castes, as well as others, are scattered on the list following the alphabetical order. The commission is likely to have a list of approximately 1,800 caste/ lower caste when the survey starts.

Past experience

“During the last numbering, we have seen that the scattering of the lower castes creates problems for countdress and leads to confusion that reduces the number. Similar drilling caste names or first names may cause false entries. This may cause alphabetical list and we have given to all sub -castings under the main caste. Hindu.

Akhila Karnataka Brahmana Mahasabha also said to the commission that all Brahmin sub castes should be brought together instead of disintegration. Listed 64 Brahmin subtitles to be included in the last list. Vokkaliga Sangha made a similar land.

Difficulties

However, the secretary of the Commissioner Ka Dayand defended the following: “It is not possible to keep all castes/ sub -caste together. Only informed castes can be kept together and there are about 1000 castes in Karnataka 814 caste/ lower caste.

In 2015, the H. Kanthajis commission received requests from the caste groups in the first socio-educational research to keep all the lower caste together.

H. Kn Lingappa, a member of the Kanthajis Commission, was among the reasons they used as a cover for non -scientific calls of Caste groups, but more than 95% of the population was intact. “In 2015, during the numbering, we encountered difficulties in which the alphabetical order was followed because it was our first experience.

Mobile friendly

However, the President of the Commission Madhusu R. Naik, mobile devices are easier to shift alphabetical orders will be protected, he said.

“There is a misconception that the community population may not be fully captured. This is not true. We do not try to show the number of any community less or more.

Confusion in the past

Some castes, which found a word on the list, created problems during the classification in the previous commission. For example, according to H. Kantharage Commission member Kn Lingapppa, the caste list was only Sunnagara. However, Sunnagaras was found to be a sub -caste in both uppara and the best caste. “There was no option to determine what sunnagara people.”

Similarly, problems have been encountered in the numbering of Katic, a sub -caste between both Hindus and Muslims, and category 1 and Category 2A; Phoolmali, a caste representing flower sellers, is among both Hindus and Muslims and category 1 and 2 A.

Christian subgroups

Objections on the notification of various Christian subgroups were brought to the agenda. Brahmin Christian, Banajiga Christian, Banjara Christian, Lingayat Christian and Vokkaliga Christian. The Christian community receives a reservation below 3-b in the OBC list. Akhila Bharatha Brahmana Mahasabha objected to these classifications. However, in the previous survey, people were identified with such groups.
