RSS Warns Against Caste Census for Elections

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has weighed in on the ongoing debate about the caste census, emphasizing its value for welfare while warning against its use in electoral contexts. On Monday, RSS chief spokesperson Sunil Ambekar clarified the organization’s stance, asserting that while the caste census is crucial for addressing the welfare needs of various communities, it should not be leveraged for election campaigning.

Ambekar stated, “The government should proceed with the caste census for data collection purposes. Caste issues are highly sensitive in our society and essential for national integration. However, utilizing the caste census for election campaigns and electoral purposes is not advisable.” This statement underscores the RSS’s concern about the potential misuse of sensitive data for political gains.

The RSS’s comments come at a time when the caste census is a significant topic of discussion in India. Advocates argue that detailed caste data is essential for crafting targeted welfare policies, while critics fear that its use in elections could exacerbate existing divisions.

As the debate continues, the RSS remains firm in its position that caste census data should serve as a tool for social welfare rather than a political instrument. This perspective is likely to influence ongoing discussions and policies regarding caste-based data collection and its applications.
