In a dramatic political reversal, the BJP-led central government has announced a caste-based census—despite years of opposing it. This major shift aligns with long-standing demands from the Congress and the INDIA alliance, who have pushed for caste enumeration under the slogan "jitni abaadi, utna haq" (rights in proportion to population).<br />Prime Minister Modi's government, once critical of the idea, now claims the data will drive inclusive development—not caste division. With elections looming, analysts say this move is a strategic effort to win back OBC and backward caste support. Opposition parties, while welcoming the move, are calling for transparency and timely release of the data.<br />Will this political U-turn reshape India’s social justice framework—or is it just another vote-bank ploy?
