Political leaders r dividing the country on the basis of caste/religion. How different r they then different from the britishers who ruled on the basis of “divide n rule policy”? The recent demand of a political leader in mumbai is ridiculous; which resulted in series of attacks on the ppl who are frm other parts of india. Just imagin if this happens in all the states.
The law enforcing agencies were helpless to arrest the leaders who instigated all this. On the contrary they were provided more security…wht to say…

Its actually not very hard to see such a phenomena take place across all the states of the Indian dominion.
Assam has had a history of acrimonious relationship with the state of Bihar and Biharis in particular.
The social fabric in Bangalore is reportedly becoming strained, as reported by CNN-IBN Live's website today, with most Kannadigas upset with the migrant population.
Our own West Bengal isn't going to be too far off either. Already tensions are simmering around the suburbs.
If one were to monitor the events closely, one would find that, in Maharashtra, the local Maharashtrians haven't been all too upset with the secessionist tirades of the politicians.
Biharis or Khatwuahs as they are often referred to in common parlance, are like a swarm of worker ants. A scouting Bihari would bring in his entire flock, kith and kin to settle in a region where he/she finds sound employment. However, unlike the worker ants, most of these people do not return anything to the soil from whence they reap their fruits. In fact, the social and economic contribution of this particular race of people towards their immediate surroundings in far off places, are incredibly low.
Primarily because of this reason alone, they are now being hounded out of places where they once had grown roots.
I have yet to come across a single Bihari neighbourhood which preaches cleanliness, civil hygiene and contribution to social work. Disgustingly, they are also the main proponents of the Paan Masala culture in our own city.
But that's not to take anything away from a hard-working race. They are a cheap pliable labour force who have a reputation of being industrious workers, if not intelligent.
Notwithstanding their lacunae, the actions of our politicians cannot be condoned.
Our lawmakers, at least a considerable section of them, have their own regional interests to cater to. Can we fault them in their thinking? I think not. After all, each of our lawmakers are voted into power by their own respective regional ballots. Its only inevitable that a large number of them would, therefore, be influenced by their native populace. Self before Nation, if you will!
Historically speaking the modern India nationhood took form and physical shape under the British Crown at their own cost. Justifiably enough, the British never felt that they were obliged to leave behind a united India both in spirit and body.
60 years down the line, our own indigenous kings without the crowns can think no better!
thanx a lot satadru 4 a very well written comment!
I (infact all will) agree with u, when u say tht our netas do all this 4 thr vested interests. who else wants all this chaos?
I am not sure chaos is the word to describe the situation Sir. Its more like a concerted melee with lines being drawn on partisan and vested interests across the entire nation.
A few weeks ago, I came across a story on the net involving the state of Uttar Pradesh. It so happens that Ms. Mayawati has floated an idea to divide UP into smaller states still. This, in her opinion, would make governance easier and much more streamlined. Imagine!
well the Politics in my country leaves a lot to be desired as well and it's something I don't particularly care much about.
I believe divide and rule is common in most countries.
thank you for the comment and visit to my blog. I hope to see you back there. Thanks!
