Congress's Shift on Caste Census

A long time ago, the Congress party in India had a chance to help many people by following a report called the Mandal Commission report.

This report was about giving more opportunities to people who were not doing well in society.

But some leaders in the Congress party, like PV Narasimha Rao, didn't want to follow this report.

They thought it might cause problems.

Later, another leader, Indira Gandhi, wanted to follow the report, but she was stopped by her colleagues.

Many years later, in 2023-24, another Congress leader, Sonia Gandhi, said they should do a caste census, which is like counting people to see who needs help.

This shows that the Congress party has changed its mind about helping these people.
