'No caste in Christianity': Backlash over 52 caste listing of Christians in Karnataka caste survey; BJP, activists call it misleading
BJP leaders and activists in Mysuru are protesting the caste-based division of Christians, revealed in a recent state survey listing 52 Christian castes. They are advocating for internal reservations within the 2B category, currently reserved for Muslims, instead of the 3B category. BJP's Anil Thomas insists Christianity doesn't have castes and warns the classification sends a wrong message.
