Ladakh Leads India's First Caste Census

The upcoming census in 2027 is set to be a significant event in India's history, with Ladakh leading the way in the country's first independent caste enumeration. This move is expected to provide valuable insights into the country's demographic makeup. The census form, which will have around 40 questions, will also record details about defence structures on paper. This initiative aims to collect comprehensive data on the population, including their social and economic status.
