CHE#66 | English Podcast | Counting Caste: Data, Democracy & the Future of Social Justice | ​Sumeet Mhaskar

In this episode, Souvik speaks with Prof. Sumeet from the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy about the history and future of the caste census in India. They explore why the caste census was stopped after 1931, how its absence impacts policymaking and social justice, and the challenges of implementing reservation in today’s largely privatized economy. The conversation also touches on misconceptions around social mobility, the political implications of census data, and the need for transparency and data access. Together, they highlight why caste data matters—not just for academics or politicians, but for technologists and everyday citizens navigating a complex democracy.
