Assam's CM Himanta Biswa Sarma supports a caste census to recognize the distinct identities of indigenous Muslims in the state.

Assam CM Backs Caste Census for Indigenous Muslims

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma advocates for a caste census, aimed at acknowledging the distinct socio-cultural identities of indigenous Muslims.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma backs caste census to aid indigenous Muslims, recognizing their unique identities separate from migrant-origin groups.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said that the caste census will greatly benefit the indigenous Muslim community living in both the Brahmaputra and Barak Valley in the state.
The Centre on Wednesday announced that India&rsquo;s 16th Census with caste enumeration will be carried out in 2027.
The indigenous Muslim communities of Assam have been demanding for a long time, a caste-based census to assert their distinct socio-cultural identities, the chief minister said on the sidelines of the World Environment Day programme here.
''The proposed caste enumeration in the upcoming national census is expected to fulfil their decades-old aspiration for formal recognition of their independent identity&mdash;distinct from broader religious classifications and migratory groupings,'' he said.
Communities such as the Goria, Moria, Deshi, Syed, and Jolha (Julha) Muslims of the Brahmaputra Valley, along with the Kiren and Maimal Muslims of the Barak Valley, have consistently maintained that while Islam is their religion, they also possess unique ethnic, linguistic, and cultural traits which differentiate them from migrant-origin or non-indigenous Muslim populations, Sarma said.
The chief minister had last month said that the Assam government has initiated preparatory measures to conduct a comprehensive caste census aimed at documenting and distinguishing the indigenous Muslim communities of the state.
These communities have preserved distinct traditions, dialects, and historical narratives that are deeply rooted in Assam&rsquo;s civilizational heritage and cultural landscape.
The Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) decided on April 30 that caste enumeration will be included in the next census exercise.
The Congress and other opposition parties have been demanding a nationwide caste census, making it a major election issue, and some states like Bihar, Telangana and Karnataka have conducted such surveys.

The upcoming national census will include caste enumeration, as announced by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. This development holds significant potential for advancing social and political analyses in India, providing insights into socio-economic patterns and resource distribution.

Union Minister Anupriya Patel pitches for caste survey as I.N.D.I.A bloc corners Modi govt

Patel also said a separate backward classes welfare ministry should be set up on the lines of the Ministry of Minority Affairs.

Union minister and Apna Dal (Sonelal) chief Anupriya Patel on Saturday demanded the creation of a separate ministry for the welfare of backward classes and stressed the need for a caste census to assess their true condition and formulate policies accordingly.
Addressing a function here on the occasion of the Apna Dal's foundation day, she said the party was formed "to free Dalits and backward classes from the cycle of oppression".
"Today, even after 75 years of independence, the participation of Dalits and backward classes in all the pillars of democracy is not sufficient. Only through a caste census can their true condition be assessed and policies prepared for their welfare," she said.
She said that her party has been "demanding a caste census since its inception".
The minister said that an all-India judicial service should also be established so that promising youths from the Dalit and backward classes can get the opportunity to become judges.
The Apna Dal (Sonelal) chief said it has achieved the distinction of being the third largest party in Uttar Pradesh due to the hard work of crores of party workers and supporters.
"We do not need to be satisfied with the third position. We have to make the party number one. Today, on the occasion of foundation day, we have to take a pledge to take the party to greater heights. For this, we have to take the ideas and principles of the party to people," she added.
Targeting Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Patel said, "The Samajwadi Party which is today talking about PDA ('pichhde' or backward classes, Dalits, and 'alpsankhyak' or minorities) has always worked to break our party. In 2002, it lured away our three MLAs." Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she said, "On the other hand, under the leadership of respected Narendra Modi, the NDA always worked for the advancement of Dalits and backward classes." "The prime minister established a medical college in Pratapgarh in the name of Dr Sonelal Patel, gave constitutional recognition to the National Backward Classes Commission and did a commendable job of implementing the OBC reservation in the medical entrance examination NEET," she added.
The Apna Dal was founded by Sonelal Patel, who belonged to Kurmi community of Other Backward Classes, on November 4, 1995. After his death, the party split.
The Apna Dal (Sonelal) is led by his daughter Anupriya Patel and is an ally of the BJP. The Apna Dal (Kamerawadi) by his wife Krishna Patel and is an ally of the Samajwadi Party.&nbsp;
