NAGPUR: RSS on Sunday said nationality should be the basis in the ongoing national census and not caste.
"The RSS is following the principles of late Dalit leader B R Ambedkar. Right from the beginning, RSS is in favour of a casteless society and any attempt to dilute it will hurt the sentiments of people," RSS general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi told reporters here.
RSS has been striving to build a casteless society, he said.
"There is no provision for identifying and separating illegal migrants in the country while preparing the National Population Register (NPR). This will prove to be a threat to the national security and integrity," he said.
According to him, preparation of a multi-utility identity card on the basis of NPR will be incorrect. "Therefore, RSS demands that identity cards be issued only after verification of nationality and the nationality provision should be the basis for NPR," Joshi said.
He said government should fix some criteria for giving reservation to other backward communities (OBCs). "There should not be any hurry and government should initiate a national debate on it. There needs to be a dialogue with various social groups in this regard," he said.
When his attention was drawn towards BJP's demand for inclusion of a provision of OBC category in the national census records to identify OBC population, Joshi evaded a direct reply saying it was for the BJP to decide.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had recently said that the Cabinet will shortly take a decision on whether caste-based census should be undertaken or not.

Dissolve caste organisations and form Hindu Front.
The Hindus of various castes who are today benefiting from reservations are living in fool's paradise by imagining that caste census will give them a greater proportion of reservations. Muslims and Christians are also going to enroll themselves under various castes and then they, being more organized than the short-sighted Hindu caste leaders, will corner the major chunk of all reservations. On top of it they will also get special minority rights, which Hindus of no caste are going to get. So it is better for Hindus of all persuasions to reject caste census. Instead they have to be united as Hindus and demand special rights as the majority. What political, economic or social powers have the two largest Hindu castes of Kerala today - the Ezhavas and Nairs? If they unite under the Hindu banner, wouldn't they be running Kerala? Why is it we lack even this minimal common sense?
