Abstract

In the wider context of how census enumeration has been studied with varied academic interests in South Asian history, this article focuses on how the Lingayats of Karnataka, since the colonial period, received, negotiated and manipulated their hurtful description in the 1881 Census as a low-caste Hindu community, defending themselves against British and Brahmins’ misuse of taxonomic navigation.
