India's Caste Census: Data Alone Won't Achieve Social Justice

India's Caste Census: Data Alone Won't Achieve Social Justice

Imagine India is trying to help different groups of people, like OBCs.

The government wants to count everyone's caste to see how people are doing.

Some people think this is a good idea because it will give them information to help.

But others say that counting castes is not the only thing that matters.

They say that even with the numbers, the government needs to really want to help and make good policies.

They believe that change comes from leaders being determined and people demanding it, not just from counting numbers.
