BJP goes for caste census with an eye on Bihar polls

NEW DELHI: The Modi government announced a plan on Wednesday to include caste identity in the next census, something that has been Rahul Gandhi’s demand. And thereby hangs a tale.

It is, of course, abundantly clear that whoever carried out the massacre at Pahalgam or whoever backed the hideous killing of men by identifying them by their religion, helped the BJP’s divisive agenda under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s watch.

This was just as true of the killing of 40 troops in Pulwama in 2019.
