Numbers as Political Allies analyses the state sponsored headcounts
in Jammu and Kashmir as public goods, collective self-portraits,
and symbols of modernity. It explores how census statistics are
impacted by their administrative, legal and political-economic
contexts. The book guides the reader through the entire lifecycle
of headcounts from the administrative manoeuvring at the
preparatory stage to the partisan use of data in policymaking and
public debates. Using the case of Jammu and Kashmir, it explains
how our ability to examine data quality is limited by the paucity
of metadata and estimates the magnitudes of coverage and content
errors in the census process. It argues that Jammu and Kashmir's
data deficit is shaped by and shapes ethno-regional, communal, and
scalar contests across different levels of governance and compares
its census experience with other states to discuss possible reforms
to enhance public trust in the census.
