Why India must have a caste census

By collecting and organising better data on our social and economic status based on group identities, we are tackling a pivotal hindrance to national progress

The Constitution asserts the necessity of positive discrimination. And if one believes in the Constitution, can there be any logical reason for OBCs not to be included there - unless solid data proves they are not socially and educationally backward? To enumerate and get this data, one requires a caste census. ((Hemant Padalkar/HTPhoto))

2,000 note move may have marginal impact

The decision to withdraw the banknotes will impact liquidity, bank deposits and policy rates. All eyes will be on the share of notes exchanged versus deposited

Even if 10-20% of the <span class='webrupee'>₹</span>2,000 notes are deposited, the banking system liquid-ity will improve by <span class='webrupee'>₹</span>35,000-70,000 crore. This would imply that the RBI is less likely to change its monetary policy stance in June (SANTOSH KUMAR/HT PHOTO)

New forest law must strike a fine balance

While development is important, this cannot be done at the expense of India’s forests because such a move will be counterproductive

In a country roiled by the climate crisis, one would think that every forest, protected or otherwise, is precious as a stabilising force that regulates ecosystems, protects biodiversity, supports livelihoods, and supplies goods and services that could drive sustainable growth. But this view, it seems, is at odds with the ones held by some policymakers. (HT photo)
