Sons of the soil and the soiled sons

Hi,

Musing #29

Once again life in Mumbai is paralysed....................

I think we are paying a heavy price for the blunder of dividing the country on linguistic basis and formation of regional states.A country which was already divided due to prevailing caste ism and religion, this further division on linguistic basis has only further weakened the fabric of our country. It has completed the vote bank politics suite, for the opportunistic politicians. The much acclaimed slogan of "Unity in diversity" is sounding very hollow with the attacks by,

A rrogant Upper caste on backward class,

A cerbic religious fanatics on religious minorities and

A ntipathetic linguistic fanatics on the other linguistic minorities.

With the above three Aces up their sleeves, the opportunistic politicians are gambling with the lives and properties of hard working and honest citizens.

Coming to the "Sons of the soil" theory advocated by these politicians citing unemployment in their state, the moot question is why don't they motivate these unemployed youths to join the defence services where according to a recent report thousands of vacancies are existing and they are having dearth of people to fill up these vacancies right from ranks to officer's level. They won't do it because then who will do their street fights ,get injured and killed to become losing martyrs rather than fighting the real enemy in the frontiers and become true heroes.

The only remedy for this is every patriotic Indian should value his vote and exercise his/her franchise in the election taking care to shun these opportunistic politicians and their parties.With this affirmative action these pathogenic politicians will become non-entities politically and are purged out of our political system.

To quote the well made awareness advt. of A tea brand shown in the TV regularly in this regard JAGOzzzzzzzzzzzz INDIAzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz JAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
