Sire, I want to know the basis of caste certificate. On what basis it is made? Is it birth in a particular state? Or residence at a place for a particular duration? Can one person possess caste certificate of two states although same caste and has residence at both places - one traditional patriarchal residence and other born in migratory nuclear family residence?
Thank you
