[IMPORTANT] My request to all Assamese people and intellectuals to come here and reply to my question.
I recently saw our cm asking other state people who have been living for decades in the Brahmaputra valley to choose assamese as their language. Also this is the first time they are including caste in the census. So my question is
Will this not be problem in finding out how many people of obc category are from other states if they choose assamese as the language in the census? Without such a request by the cm, we would have had a proper idea about the number of obc people in the state who speak either assamese or hindi.
For browsing a large number of data, two filters would have made it simple to find out the proper data. One is Obc + assamese language and the other is obc + hindi language.
Isnt the census meant to be a once in a decade survey to find out realistic and exact proper data? So how will it make us understand the exact state of assamese language and assamese speaking people in the state? How is this acceptable? Is there some reason or situation that i dont understand? Should there not be a separate option for those people? Like language "original/earlier hindi but now assamese" would have been a better option than just merging it with the whole assamese section? Is there anyone who is taking this issue?
