“We request you (PM Modi) to conduct a caste census for taking inclusive policy decisions and making effective social welfare schemes. Caste census will give empirical data to the government to give OBCs their share in the development process,” the postcard reads.

The President of AIOBCSA Kiran Kumar believes that it is the union government’s responsibility to conduct a caste census in 2021 in order to give answers to questions related to social justice, inclusiveness, and equality.
