He’s slamming the government’s decision to let enumerators manually type in caste names; calling it a recipe for chaos. Why? Because without a dropdown list of official OBC categories, the data could splinter into over 46 lakh variations from spelling errors, local names, and typos. Imagine trying to distribute reservations or welfare benefits with that mess. Ramadoss says this isn’t just a tech glitch; it’s a threat to social justice itself. He’s demanding the Centre integrate state and central OBC lists into the software, complete with numeric codes. And he’s not alone; Congress has now backed his stand. The real question? Was this oversight intentional, or just poor planning? Either way, it could undermine the entire purpose of the first nationwide caste census in 95 years.
