Who Divided India ...

Lok Sabha elections are close and everyone is talking about which party will form the government. Political corridors are abuzz with the schemes and plans for getting into majority forming government. Earlier, there were NDA and UPA, but now one more front has come in light – the third front.

Is it wise to have a third front?

Already, have they not divided us enough?

Are we not weak enough?

In what ways, it is good for a country as complex as India?

From where I see and most political pundits see, the upcoming government would be one of the weakest in the history of Independent India. And, this election is only good for those who have always dreamt of inducing some weight in every decision taken by government. The political history of India has never had a chance of attaining glory and how that could be? Even, in the times before independence it was motivated by the division of caste, religion, and regions. Political leaders have always looked to leverage these divisions and never wished to unite people and they succeeded in performing so. Most political parties are trying to lure the Muslim community, by calling them minority and promising to shower privileges.

Are Muslims really minority in a country where the population of Muslims larger than Pakistan, which is a sovereign Muslim country?

India has the largest population of Muslims in South Asia and I am failing to understand that on what basis they call Muslims a minority. As far as my knowledge goes their population is larger than any other religious people in India, except Hindus. Christians are far less in population as compared to Muslims and on that very ground they should be tagged as minority and given (or promised) far more privileges than Muslims. But that is not happening and the only motive behind this duplicity is the vote bank.

Political leaders very well understand the fact that without the Muslim support no government can see a sunset in Delhi. And, that’s the reason why they have been playing the cards of Muslim Minority. It is the politics of division not joining together. No Political leader is working for the amelioration of India. Since independence, had they all been working for amelioration of India and uniting people of this large democracy, the face of this country would have been far gorgeous.

No one is worst in India than the people of Political class. Take example of UP politics, it is entirely based on caste and religion. There are so many pockets where no leader with liberal thinking could win an election except he talks on behalf of any particular religion or caste. Leaders, those who made their political career based on caste or religion are still walking on that lane, they are reluctant to change the lane and enter into main stream and still they dream about becoming head of the state lead the country, is it possible?

Politics in Jammu & Kashmir is based on separatism and religion. Any naive can say that whatever is happening in Andhra Pradesh is nothing to do with people sentiments but politics of separatism for personal gains. Leaders of this country wear glasses of religion not nationalism. They see everything from the religious sentiment point of view and if that’s so important, and the two major religion of this very country can’t live in unity and harmony then it is not at all foolish to say that this country again needs a partition. And, not just once but several times. First, in the name of religion, second, in the name of Caste, third, in the name of region, and fourth, in the name of difference in culture.

65 years of independence and we are still struggling to find land for our feet, isn't it shameful? Yes, It can be termed as shameful at international forum but who cares, after all personal gain takes precedence over anything or everything that has anything to do with the country. No riots ever in this country were set out by the general public. There have been set of people who had political agendas and were instigated by political or religious parties and despite the very strong judicial system of India hardly any schemer, political leader or religious leader have been punished. The public is the victim of these rights and the very word victim is losing is association with sympathy or empathy since, now such riots and destruction has become thing of daily life and hardly anyone has time to think over such issues.

The very middle-class is the worst victim; since they are the people who are doing hard work, day in day out and earn money so that tomorrow government would lay its dirty hands on their hard earn money in the name of hundreds of taxes. No Religion, no class, no caste comes to pay taxes. It is the very middle-class of this country who has nothing to do with religion or division, who just want to survive and wishes to create better future for upcoming generation pays heavy taxes and work like asses. No government comes with any scheme for such hardworking class of people, who are the bread-earner if not the grower of this country. In the name of subsidy whatever they get, the very selfish, corrupt and immoral government takes away far more than that.

In this very country the silent bread-earners are not well taken care of, but the very lousy, immoral, corrupt and conservative people are given all sort of privileges, perhaps because they have big mouth to eat and to cry out. And, that is the reason most middle-class people nurture a dream of going abroad to never come back. The best example is IT professionals. The impotent political class has no ideology it is based upon, what it has is a hunger for wealth and personal gain. If British had coined the policy of divide and rule then the present political class has mastered it.
