	Description:		Bihar becomes the first state to release the data from their long-promised caste-based survey, with the report pegging the Backward Classes at 27.1% and the Extremely Backward Classes at 36% - which means a whopping 63% of Bihar's population belongs to backward castes. While the Mahagathbandhan government dubs this move a historical masterstroke, the BJP, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has rubbished the survey as an 'eyewash' and a move to divide the country along caste lines. On Left, Right & Centre, India's top political analysts and journalists weigh in on what the move bodes for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
