Why is Karnataka government conducting caste survey again?
The Social and Educational Survey, popularly called the caste census, began in Karnataka on Monday. The findings of the survey conducted in 2015 were discarded. Earlier in June this year, the state Cabinet approved a fresh survey, nullifying the 2015 exercise. Communities like Vokkaligas and Veerashaiva-Lingayats had called 2015 survey "unscientific" and demanded a fresh count.
