In pursuance of Government policy there was
limited enumeration and tabulation of castes in 1951
Census. Even in the Case of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled
Tribes and Backward Classes, the figures of each caste
were not separately extracted; only the group totals
wore ascertained. The Backward Classes Commission
require the figures of population of each caste. In
order to Dssist them an estimate of population of each
caste in 1951 has been made on the basis of the figures
of the previous censuses.
2. The figures have been presented in four tables:-
(i) Scheduled Castes, Hindus only (1i) Scheduled. Tribes
(iii) Backward Classes Hindus and Muslims separately
(Iv) Other Castes, Hindus and Muslims se.parately. Some
'minor adjustments have been matle in the estimated
figures of Scheduled Tri bes in order to make the total
tally with the 1951 - Census total of this group.
3. ho castew1se figures are available for lF41
Census. The tables of 1941 Census give figures for
only a few selected castes and these also for a few
selected distric ts.

caste. The total of the ostimated population in. 1951
of Scheduled Castes shows an excess over the 1951
Census totals of these c~stBS. As there is wide
variation~ in the two totals no attempt has been made
to adjust the estimated figures.
