Caste composition of India: Percentage of different groups including Upper Castes, SCs & STs in the country

What's the caste composition of India? The recent controversy over reservation has once again opened the lid off India's caste cauldron. So, what is the percent of OBCs (Other Backward Castes) in India's population. The figures range from 40% to as high as 52%. In fact, it is also possible that the OBCs could number around 40% of Indian population. In some regions, the backward castes are landed communities and influential but have little presence in government jobs. Caste-wise population and their percentage in India As per ancient system, except Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas , all the others are Shudras [almost 90% of India's population]. The Shudras include all OBCs, Dalit [SC], Scheduled Tribes and intermediary castes . In the pie chart, Upper Castes includes Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishya etc. The non-Hindu OBCs include Muslims. The intermediary includes Hindu castes of Jat, Reddy, Patel and Maratha (as per their status in various areas). The Upper Mu...

Biggest cities in India before independence: Census reports show huge changes in growth of Indian cities, their population

Shams Ur Rehman Alavi There has been a staggering rise in population of cities in India, since independence. More people migrated to cities and the rapid urbanisation led to cities turning into mega cities. The increase in population has been huge in the last few decades. Bagalore, Surat and Pune have emerged as big cities, among the top ten in the country. If we go back and check census figures, we find out they were much smaller cities. Prior to Independence, there were just two million plus cities--Calcutta and Bombay. The population of Kolkata was more than 21 lakh or 2.1 million. Bombay was 1.489 million i.e. 14.89 lakh, the second largest city in terms of population. All others didn't even have a population of 1 million or 10 lakh. Madras [Chennai] was third at 7.77 lakh and Hyderabad was 7.39 lakh. At fifth place was Lahore--6.71 lakh. The remaining five in the top ten included--Ahmedabad, Delhi, Kanpur, Amritsar and Lucknow. Ahmedabad ...

Tharpakar: Hindu majority district in Pakistan!

Tharparkar's location in Pakistan adjoining India It was a surprise to know that a Hindu majority district still exists in Pakistan. Though there is a large Hindu population in the country, especially, in Sindh, we don't get to hear much news about the Pakistani Hindus. This is sad as many agencies and newspapers have correspondents stationed in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, but unfortunately they don't seem interested to focus on Hindu culture in Pakistan . Tharpakar [also spelt as Thar Parkar] district in Pakistan had Hindus constituting more than half of the population. Eminent author Yoginder Sikand writes that it is a Hindu majority district. Though he says that the voice of these people does not reach anywhere because they are mostly Dalits or Backward Communities and the Hindu community representatives in Assemblies are mostly the upper castes like Banias. Tharpakar is situated on the Indo-Pak border. On its east lies Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan w...
