Divide and rule, the famous punch line attributed to British has been the eternal weapon of Indian polity in the short history of independent India.It appears the present and past polity had either no clue to mitigation of poverty or never had any inclination to do it in a meaningful manner. So they took refuge in the politics of division and appeasement.So issues like agriculturist vs non agriculturist, rural vs urban, rich vs poor, One State Resident vs Other State Resident, Dalit vs OBC vs Others, Male vs Female, Hindu vs Muslim and similar minority cards. In short they always worked against the first and foremost pillar of all equalities enshrined in the Indian constitution i.e all individuals will be treated at par for all purposes irrespective of their gender, colour, caste, creed, religion and place of birth to fulfill their own baser instincts ( money, wine, woman and power )
India has seen a lot of hooliganism and riots in the name of these demeaning divisive slogans patronized by different hues of Indian polity from time to time. Need less to emphasize that such crooked activities are resorted to to win elections or topple the governments of your adversaries.All violent activities are organised and encouraged to fulfill the desires of politicians and have little or negligible contribution to the welfare of the masses. Reservation policy is a typical case in point. All political parties are guilty of using this card for their own benefit. But what has happened to the so called beneficiary group. Dalits and scheduled tribes constitute more than 22% of the Indian population. But to date hardly 2.0 lakh individuals could be benefited during the last 67 years as a result of this policy out of 30 crores. At this rate the Dalit upliftment program seems to be designed for couple of thousand years of rule by this dishonest and insincere polity.
"Riots have been deliberately created, increased after Modi's government came to power", says Sonia Gandhi..Yes, that is a fact and nobody denies it. Congress and all parties have been guilty of such manipulations from time to time. But has anybody after a big electoral success indulged in such disruptive activity to put his own government in jeopardy or is it that those who get decimated in electoral process indulge in this to regain lost ground. Most of the anti Modi parties have been prophesying that Modi's coming to power will be a disaster and doom for India. It appears now they are working overtime to prove their prophesy right.
