Telangana must act on caste survey finds

New Indian Express  

Telangana’s caste survey has the potential to stir a hornet’s nest. Though the Congress government neither tabled the survey in the assembly nor made its contents public, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy gave a snapshot of the findings. The survey says the backward classes constitute 46.25 percent of the state’s population, scheduled castes 17.43 percent, scheduled tribes 10.45 percent, and other castes 17.43 percent. But political compulsions in Karnataka, which is also governed by the Congress, made its government hesitate about making its own caste survey report public. From a political standpoint, even Congress insiders fear that if there are claims for the numbers to be translated into proportionate quotas, for which a constitutional amendment would be required, the party could face the wrath of several communities, including the powerful upper castes.
