The population of Muslims and Scheduled Castes has increased a lot in karnataka, while the Veerashaiva-Lingayat community saw a slight increase. According to the caste census survey conducted in karnataka, the Muslim population increased by more than 90 percent, while the population of Lingayats saw a single digit increase.
According to the report , in 1984, the Veerashaiva-Lingayat community was about 17 percent of the state's population. At the same time, according to the new social and educational survey (also known as caste census), by 2015 this community decreased to 11 percent. These results of the survey have drawn lines of worry on the forehead of the prominent leaders of this community.
What does the new survey say
In the Venkatswami Commission survey conducted in 1984, the population of the Lingayat community was 61 lakh 14 thousand 466 and their percentage in the state was 16.92.

How much change came from 1984 to 2015
The Venkatswamy Commission conducted a social and educational survey in 1984, which included 91% of the state's 3.61 crore population. Veerashaiva-Lingayat was at number one, followed by scheduled caste and Vokkaliga. Muslims were at number four, then Kuruba and Brahmin were at the last. In the 2015 survey, Scheduled Castes were the largest group, followed by Muslims. Veerashaiva-Lingayats were in third place, followed by Vokkaligas, Kurubas, and Brahmins. It remains to be seen what will be the fate of the 2015 survey, as Lingayat and Vokkaliga leaders, even within the Congress, are against it.
