Communal Politics: Politics of Hatred

Political parties can be broadly divided into three forms: the right, the left and the middle. The right parties, as per the critics, follow the path of majority religion appeasement.  Whereas, the left parties follow the path of communalism. The middle parties don’t go either way. India, the world largest democracy, has all the three forms of political parties.

Communal politics is the politics based on the religious ground for attaining short-term selfish goals. India has been tormented from the very idea of communal politics since time immortal. It created havoc in the form of partition. India was partitioned on religious lines because of the wide spread resentment created in the minds of Muslims by the Muslim League. But, the hysteria created by communal politics vanishes in no time. The Muslim League disappeared from the political arena soon; a Party which created a country did not survive longer than a decade.

In the 80’s a new wave of political statistics came in the forefront. BJP started calling itself messiah of Hindus. Also, the circumstances happened to help the BJP. Hindus were quite annoyed by the minority appeasement policies of the ruling Congress. BJP sensed the political scenario and started luring the majority Hindu community with its Ram Mandir campaign. The result was the demolition of Babri Masjid followed by the countrywide communal riots, killing thousands of innocent people.

So, does the BJP only to blame for the communal politics?

No, BJP alone cannot be blamed for the rise of communal politics in India. The short-sighted minority appeasement policy of Congress vexed the majority community. Adding fuel to it was the introduction and implementation of Mandal Commission. Also, many regional parties like Akali Dal, Shiv Sena, Samajwadi Party and others were created on religious lines. Their main political motto till date is to create hysteria and follow a path of animosity. 

Does the country gained anything from the communal politics?

No, instead of gaining the country suffered economically and emotionally due to the increased hatred among its citizens causing many riots in the name of religion and community. Many innocent countrymen lost there life.

It’s true that the communal parties may succeed in creating a mass hysteria but it soon gets discredited and diluted. No amount of efforts can revive them. Their followers are deserting them and once their vote bank is getting lost in the mist. Politics in the form of hate cannot sustain for long.

My Name Is Khan...!!

My name is Khan is a splendid movie, must watch for all the movie freek(like I am). It conveys two messages, one directly and the other indirectly. Well, the direct message will be easily spread by the media and the other who will watch the movie that not all Muslim's are terrorist. But I am afraid about the second message. Its not deep hidden in the movie but quite contrary to it, its the most spoken thing in the movie. But we humans have this tendency to miss something which is most said to us.
So, my dear countrymen its the simple thing that after many years of new attitude in our world politics, we cannot meet the person who actually run them. Take an example of our country, many of the soldier's are dieing or rather put to death in various parts of our country, farmers are committing suicide and students hang themselves and if any one of us( by us I mean WE the INDIANS) want to meet our prime minister or even our MLA to let them know what are our problems and what can be done for removing them can never actually do so because of his some x, y or z security.
Thank God that Panditji is no more to see his fellow junior politicians so much frightened up by some rudely brother (or angry i must add here) comments.

INDIA of my dreams

Well tomorrow i have to give a 1 min. speech on this topic so i thought of sharing it in my blog. In 1 min. i think i might be able to speak around one and a half page with full expression an zeal. So here I am

India of my dreams.. India the largest and biggest democracy in the world, an emerging technological hub and lots of development going on yet full of corruption. People still fight on the linguistic dimensions , education and medicines still remain for most country men unaffordable. Yet our PM says we are developing. Media busy in highlighting the previous day night parties and politicians busy on making the democracy "Gunda raaj".
I want India to be self reliable, free from any defects mention earlier. A country where surname doesn't depicts the caste of a person. No demarcations between fellow Indian's on the basis of language, caste, creed, sex, and work. Where its ministers can meet its people fearlessly. A place where education comes first. A Country where voters use their franchise on the basis of the leader's potential to help its people and not because he is a son of the ruling party.
Rabindranath Tagore expressed it beautifully in his words:
"Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from
the depth of truth;c

Can't we re-unite Again?

India and Pakistan... ahh the brothers separated by a boundary of hatred.

Why cant we unite again by forgetting our past?

This will not be the first case in the history where two countries have united again.  Brutish Britishers and incompetency of our leaders malign our country to such a level where partitioned was the only respite. But, that was more than 63 years ago. So, don't you think it's the right time to burn our hatred and join hands together for a better future?

The hysteresis of partition led to several wars fought in between the two countries hindering the progress of both the nations. Also, cross border terrorism and trafficking led to several other problems which are by no means good for any of the country. Instead of peace talks why not our policy maker's device a policy forming a single nation again.

Why not bring Sri Lanka, Bangaldesh, and Bhutan also a beneficiary of the treaty. I know there is an organization named SAARC, but we all know that it only exists in conference hall and in big talks. I haven't included Nepal because informally they are a part of India.

The new country can be called as the INDIAN SUBCONTINENT. The country capital can be shifted to Mumbai or New Delhi can continue to hold its stature. Democracy should prevail in such a re-union.

Well I know such a policy and plan will never come into the minds of our politician's and media because if such a plan is implemented then for what will they ask vote for, as in our country and also in our neighborhood the politics of hatred is only carried out. Also media won't let such a plan be implemented 'coz that will remove their basic news- terrorism and news of folly.
