Not even a one dollor question ! C.N.Annadurai tried it. Karunanidhi flashes the card often. Bal Thakeray tried it and still has not left it. Vatal Nagaraj keeps going at it, on and off. A Bhindrenwale fought to the last and paid with his life.. These political renegades devoid of any constructive economic or social platform lung at the other Indians, when going gets tough for them in the TRP ratings. A mere survival instinct.They are sure that the panacea for all ills, that the common man suffers from, is the potion what they prescribe. They are assured of a a good following, since the basic animal instinct can be easily aroused. They expose the absolute helplessness of the Centre with its divided political mandate obtained from a hotch potch of regional parties who would not put their nose to the wheel. What will fetch them votes in the next election if the present fictious combo collapses on its weight of utter lack of cohesion and a firm view' as to what constitute a nation. And the nation's fate hangs on the hands of these gentlemen !. And Mr. Sharad Pawar who envisages to become a Prime Minister, working behind the screen to prevent the arrest ? What is his take on the issue in the open?
The land of Gandhi, Bose,Jawahar and Patel and the countless Indians who gave their life to make Bharath a wholesome nation, to knit them in to a homogenous entity, to develop economically,politically and imbibe a sense of nation hood of billion people to take their rightful place proudly, among the comity of nations, only to be torn to shreds by region,religion,caste,and creed, 58 years after the solemn declaration of a Republic in whose parchment of birth all these noble ideals have been incorporated in golden calligraphy. Oh ! Where are the Maoist comrades hibernating when the nation burns only to surface before the arcade of mikes to vehemently protest , their opposition to things less mundane.
Go back to times in History when the Marathas invaded Tanjore,the Telugus marched their armies in Madurai and the Moghuls subjugated the Deccan or better still to the period of chieftains and zamindars whose egoistic containment of their people was dependent on the primitive pride. Lacerate the wound till all the blood oozes out and no people,no state, no nation survives but you have a story to tell of heroism,rape,plunder and loot. Let my sister from Bihar escaping the Nasik marauders deliver a baby in the toilet of a running train and another brother returning from his daily work, have his skull crushed. Shed no tears, for all have dried up or we are ourselves secure.From the days of partition of the continent we have gone round one full cycle and unless some saner counsel prevails we are at the thresh-hold of a cataclysm.
