Karnataka caste census recommends raising Backward Class reservations to 51%

IndiaTimes Sunday, 13 April 2025
Karnataka's caste census report suggests raising reservations for Backward Communities from 32% to 51%, as they constitute nearly 70% of the state's population. The proposal includes extending this reservation to educational institutions, drawing parallels with Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand's higher reservation percentages. The survey, initiated in 2015 and completed in February 2024, places the OBC population at over 4.16 crore.

Caste Census | How Congress Dodged Data And Betrayed Backwards| Oneindia

For over seven decades, the Congress Caste Census story has been one of deception. While the party projected itself as a voice of social justice, it quietly suppressed real empowerment—caste data. The Congress Caste Census issue resurfaced in Karnataka, where data was buried for years. From the UPA’s ₹5,000 crore SECC failure to internal contradictions and disrespect towards Dalit and tribal leaders, the truth about the Congress Caste Census exposes political doublespeak. Watch this report to understand why accurate caste enumeration was never a priority for the Congress party, and how BJP has changed the narrative. #CongressCasteCensus #CasteCensusTruth #UPAHypocrisy #BJPvsCongress #SocialJusticeDebate ~PR.282~HT.336~GR.124~

Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power? [Video]

Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power?

The upcoming delimitation exercise in India has ignited a fierce debate between the central government and southern states. The process, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies based on population, could significantly impact the political representation of states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. With northern states experiencing higher population growth, delimitation may shift parliamentary seats in their favor, potentially reducing the South’s influence. Leaders like MK Stalin and Siddaramaiah are rallying against the move, calling it an unfair punishment for states that effectively controlled population growth. #Delimitation #SouthIndiaDelimitation #DelimitationDebate #NorthVsSouth #Delimitation2026 #DelimitationCommission #WhatIsDelimitation #DelimitationAct #LokSabhaDelimitation #DelimitationIndia #PoliticalRepresentation #SouthVsCentre #PopulationBasedSeats #IndianPolitics #FederalismDebate Also Read DMK Urges Centre To Use 1997 Population Data For Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-urges-centre-to-use-1997-population-data-for-delimitation-4100993.html?ref=DMDesc Delimitation Rewards Population Growth, Punishes Control: DMK MP :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/delimitation-rewards-population-growth-punishes-control-dmk-mp-in-rajya-sabha-4098941.html?ref=DMDesc DMK Members Walk Out Of Lok Sabha Over Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-members-walk-out-of-lok-sabha-over-delimitation-4097967.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~
