Caste Census

Those who have read about Alibaba and the forty thieves must remember the incident when the captain of the thieves visited Alibaba's house.
On confirming that Alibaba had stolen their treasure, he marked Alibaba's house with a cross so that he could locate it later on.
Alibaba's maid-servant Morgiana observed the cross when she followed the captain as she suspected his credentials.
She then went over to all the houses and marked them with cross to be-fool the thieves.

I understand that the government is starting their census today and this time they are also taking a caste census to divide our people even further.
It was suggested earlier in one of my mails that each of us should mention as our caste as chamar or dhobi or any other scheduled caste when the census people visit you.
Inform this to your family also in case the census people visit your house in your absence.
