Davangere (Karnataka), Apr 14 (Reporter) The Akhil Bhartiya Veerashaiva Mahasabha and the majority community of Karnataka have rejected the caste survey report prepared by the state government, stating that it is unscientific and prejudiced, Channasiddarama Panditaradhya Shivacharya Swami of the Srisailam Peetha said here on Monday. Speaking to reporters, the Swamiji criticised the report's methodology and intent, saying, "These days, the government is trying to release the caste survey report in Karnataka, but the report that has been prepared is unscientific, not appropriate and has been prepared with a prejudiced mindset. This is what people are discussing." He further alleged that the survey lacked inclusivity and failed to reflect the voices of all communities. "That is why the representative organisation of Akhil Bhartiya Veerashaiva Mahasabha has rejected it, and the majority community of this state has also rejected it. There is only one reason behind this – that it has not been prepared honestly by contacting all the people and collecting their sentiments and information from them," he added. The remarks come amid mounting political debate over the caste survey report, which the government claims will serve as a foundation for social justice through data-driven policymaking. However, several religious and community leaders have raised objections, alleging bias and lack of transparency in the process. Meanwhile, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara acknowledged concerns from certain communities regarding the report, stating that the State Cabinet will take a call on its appropriateness when it meets on April 17. He noted that the Chief Minister has asked all ministers to study the report before the discussion. Dismissing media reports of internal divisions within the cabinet, Minister Priyank Kharge clarified that no minister had objected to the report. He stressed the need for a scientific and informed public discourse, pointing out that the survey was part of the ruling party's manifesto and should not be judged prematurely. "If something seems unscientific, let them point it out. But it is not correct to jump to conclusions without fully understanding the content," he said...////...
