Ol~'FICE OF THE ERTN'l'END~NT OF CENSUS OPERATIONS MADRAS 1955 FOREWORD
At the 1951 Census, tabulation in respect of castes, tribes and commu nities was limited to the c-ollec'tion of tractwise and district~ise population figures of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes only. No data regarding other castes and tribes were published at the 1951 Census although informa tion regarding the caste or tribe to which the individual belonged and by which he returned himself had been recorded on the enumeration slips. In the composite Madras State, the enumerators were furnished with only one list of caste~, which the State Gover 2. The appended Glossary of Caste names has been prepared under instructions from the Deputy Registrar-General, India. It has been considered that a Glossary of Caste names as returned at the 1951 Census may be useful for purposes of a correct and rational classification of castes, in case any data regarding classes and communities are required to be gathered at the next census. 3. In certain States the Glossary has been prepared from the 10 per cent sample slips but in Madras State the Glossary has been prepared by running through all the enumeration slips relating to male categories where the slips relating to such categories were kept distinct from those relating to female categories. Where such categories were not kept distinct all the slips were examined. The Glossary having been prepared practically by an examination of all the census slips it can be taken as a complete list of castes returned at the 1951 Census. 4. Some of the names, it will be found, are but synonyms of other caste names and many of the names represent sub-castes of individual main castes. The names of castes are those actually returned by the individuals. The same caste may be occurring under different or incorrect spellings and corrupt forms. It has not been possible for me within the limited time at my disposal to examine and find out in consultation with Collectors the correct spelling of each caste name and to bring together the corrupt forms of the same caste name. However, as the lists may prove useful, I suggest that the Collectors may be requested to examine them carefully and take steps to bring together under a standard spelling all the variations of the same name.
