Karnataka is witnessing heated debates as a socio-economic and educational survey approaches, scheduled to include new sub-castes such as 'Vokkaliga Christians'.
Seers and political leaders from various communities convened to discuss the survey's methodology, which has sparked controversy particularly from the BJP, labeling it as an attempt to fracture Hindu unity for political objectives.
Despite opposition, Karnataka's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah believes the survey will inform better policies, though the 'Christian' nomenclature has been removed. The situation is prompting discussions across the state's communities, with concerns about hurried execution during Navaratri.
