Counting castes, counting votes…then?
The Bihar caste survey is crucial in understanding the magnitude of caste-based socio-economic backwardness and the nature of economic power-structure in contemporary India. The data reveals an overlap between caste and class, with a high level of poverty among SC communities. Caste determines the socio-economic backwardness of individuals/families in India. The expanded reservation in public sector jobs and state-administered educational institutions makes sense in addressing these inequalities. However, the economic liberalization of the 1990s posed a challenge, as the state had to balance the market economy and the aspirations of the poor. Affirmative action policies were presented as a form of official benevolence, but there is a need to critically evaluate their efficacy.
