TL;DR
Census to reshape government quotas, social policies
For the first time ever, the census will include a detailed count of castes—a move that could reshape government quotas and social policies. The data won't just be numbers; it'll reveal a lot about how people live across India, from housing to jobs to education. Plus, these results will help redraw Lok Sabha constituencies before the 2029 elections, making this census a pretty big deal for everyone's future.
