BJP LEADERS SAID THE PARTY WAS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WITH THE TOP BRASS AT RSS AFTER LAST YEAR'S LOK SABHA POLLS
NEW DELHI: The Union government's unexpected announcement of enumerating caste along with the upcoming decadal census may have caught the opposition unawares, but senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have said that the work to lay the ground for the challenging exercise began months in advance.
The party had in the past seemed opposed to the idea of a caste census. Many of its leaders, including Union minister Nitin Gadkari, targeted opposition parties for making a demand that they viewed as having the potential to cleave the country, although Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the party has been dropping hints about a caste census for at least a year.
It isn't clear when the party decided to back a caste census, but at least two senior party leaders added that the BJP started discussing the issue with the top brass of the party's ideological fount, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), after last year's general elections.

Patel at 150: A life in service of the nation
When India gained independence on August 15, 1947, the British left behind a fractured subcontinent that included more than 560 princely states.

With vision, determination, and an unyielding will, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first deputy prime minister and home minister, forged these scattered principalities into a single nation, giving independent India its shape and strength. However, the efforts of this great unifier did not receive the recognition he deserved.
