We are going through tough times. Terrorists are striking at will all over India. Naxals have considerable presence in a large part of India. North East is still simmering with insurgents. Violence in Kashmir is not showing any signs of reducing. Tamil Nadu is facing the problem of large number of refugees from Sri Lanka. And in these times our politicians find a new and innovative way to keep us and them busy: Dividing us in the name of region. India is a union of many states wherein any person can reside and earn in any part of India.
I have lots to talk about on this topic but a blog of a friend of mine covers more or less all the topics that i wanted to discuss (along with the comments). So, i wont just duplicate the matter and just provide the link:
SUSHANT BAHADUR's Blog: Regionalism at its Scariest.
Infact, this is what makes regionalistic tendencies even more disgusting....as if we don't have enough problems already, that we need more tension to deal with.
ReplyDeleteThere are many issues which seem to have cropped first in the imaginations of the politicians and then came to the canvas of reality. Another example is the Babri Masjid issue. Whether or not a proper solution could be obtained, I believe the issue could have been handled much more rationally and peacefully.
