Karnataka’s Home Minister G. Parameshwara said the state’s caste census report should be made public. He mentioned this before a cabinet meeting where they might talk about the report. He feels its important for everyone to know whats in the report so people can be aware of the details. He also said that decisions about things like this are usually based on census data and making it public will help people understand it better.
He also said that while the report could be discussed in the cabinet meeting he wasn’t sure if it would be. He really wants the information to be available to the public even if its just a basic summary of the report. This shows that the caste census report is a sensitive issue for the state.
The push to make the report public and the potential discussions it might cause show how important this census is. It could have a big impact on Karnataka’s social and political scene. Parameshwara’s comments suggest they are moving towards giving people access to this information about the state.
