flag India will include caste in its 2027 census after PM Modi reversed his 2024 opposition.

flag Prime Minister Narendra Modi reversed his 2024 stance against a caste census, announcing in April 2025 that it would be included in the 2027 Census, despite prior rejections in Parliament and the Supreme Court. flag Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized the government’s shift, highlighting concerns over the census questionnaire’s omission of explicit questions on Other Backward Classes and General categories. flag He urged consultation with political parties, states, and civil society, citing Telangana’s 2025 SEEEPC survey as a model for comprehensive caste data collection to support social justice and inclusive growth. flag The 2027 Census is set to begin with house-listing from April to September 2026, followed by population enumeration in late 2026 and 2027.
