a census guy arrived at my place today. tons of information was asked. nothing about religion or caste. no photos or fingerprints yet. but he did mention that some guys would arrive to take photos. i guess the same folks would take the fingerprints. i have no plans to give out fingerprints. i have already given two signatures and plenty of other information about myself.

this is the only reason the census is done for and they can only ask how many people live
Article 81 {Composition of the House of the People}
[*]Subject to the provisions of article 331, the House of the People shall consists of -
[*]not more than five hundred and thirty members chosen by direct election from territorial constituencies in the States, and
[*]not more than twenty members to represent the Union territories, chosen in such manner as Parliament may by law provide.
[/list]
[*]For the purposes of sub-clause (a) of clause (1), -
[*]there shall be allotted to each State a number of seats in the House of the People in such manner that the ration between that number and the population of the State is, so far as practicable, the same for all States; and
[*]each State shall be divided into territorial constituencies in such manner that the ratio between the population of each constituency and the number of seats allotted to it is, so far as practicable, the same throughout the State: Provided that the provisions of sub-clause (a) of this clause shall not be applicable for the purpose of allotment of seats in the House of the People to any State so long as the population of that State does not exceed six millions.
[/list]
[*]In this article, the expression "population" means the population as ascertained at the last preceding census of which the relevant figures have been published: Provided that the reference in this clause to the last preceding census of which the relevant figures have been published shall, until the relevant figures for the first census taken after the year 8[2026] have been published, be construed,—
[*]for the purposes of sub-clause (a) of clause (2) and the proviso to that clause, as a reference to the 1971 census; and
[*]for the purposes of sub-clause (b) of clause (2) as a reference to the 2001 census.

all other questions violate right to privacy.the census act 1948 get null and void by the constitution which went in force in 1949

heheh.
it was a tired school teacher who landed at my place with a bag full of documents. he fumbled around as he switched between a pencil and a pen to fill the different fields.
questions?
name
dob
qualification
place of birth
permanent address
employment
car ownership
bike ownership
cycle ownership
bank account ownership
dad's name
mom's name
married/single
rented/owned place
how many folks live in this place
maybe a couple of similar more questions.
no caste related question
no religion related question
i did not give my surname, he was ok with it.
dad's name of course has the surname.
wife's surname is different from mine and her dad's.
the guy was pretty tired. and when i offered him water, he was very thankful.
of course the folks who would come to talk photos might be the problematic ones. let's see how that would work out.

all the data was filled manually using pen/pencil. i bet they would make plenty of mistakes when they fill it in their computers.
indian election commission has already made me a female once (voter id card). this is likely to mess up the things more.

Few don't know if police or government wants to spy us it is very easy for them. No one going to check this census data to make any offsense against us. If we were turthful to census questions it will make the final results little better.
@admin

but how to become Guest like him and still able to post?
