Unity in diversity! A False promise.

Yeah it is soon, Not soon literally but soon, Relatively soon and with the enough of soon-s , I assume that an ever long anxiety has made me sit with the blog again so soon after my previous one.

When skimming through all the comments about my blog, I found this particular one interesting. It was so, “You compare, Say the pros and cons in both the area of comparisons and finally finish the post by saying both are better”. So this time there will be zero comparisons and it will be my own view and composure.

                                                             

                                                     Is India a Unified country?

Yes, India is a Unified country. Thank you Late Mr. Patel. If not him, No other characters who were at the time of independence had that mental strength and attitude to make the vastly diversified states which were under various Monarchs to be a part of Indian constitution. That’s why he was rightly Nicky-d as Iron man of India.

 I didn’t mean ‘Unified’ literally, But practically.

It has 30 states (If I’m not wrong), with Telengana got added latest and quite few union territories. Is there any brotherhood among any of these states? Affection? Or at the very least, Humanity? This is not the case since 1947 but it was happening for centuries. The very same reason had made us slaves under the Britons for two centuries. Okay let’s spare those years of freedom movements, where you can argue that people were together fighting against the Britons but that was “kan ketta piragua suriya namaskaram” or “Asking for beer when brewery is shut down”.

What do the people above the tropic of cancer, call the people south of that line? Madarasi? Pandy? To them all the south Indian’s are same. It’s not only with the name; they treat the people of south as low and undesirable. They see skin, Disgusting way to judge. I find it no difference from the black-white racial discrimination which we can see in the west.

What about the people in the south? They have any idea that India has some states to the east of Bengal? Do they consider that people of North-east as Indians? Pathetically it’s No! The worst part is they consider them as Chinese (They give reasons for  China to say Arunachal Pradesh is their territory).

When the world is getting short, India is getting long. Brazilian’s consider the persons as Brazilians if they were in Brasilia or Rio or they were excavating the Mayans deep inside the Amazons but for Indians the people from Chennai and Kolkata are different, which means alien to their country. India is a country where someone can tell that “leave my state, only because you don’t belong to my language” (Hope I don’t land myself in prison for reproducing what had been told).

When the fishermen of a state in India are getting killed every day by its so called neighbor nation and the Government in the center does not open its mouth. When another fisher man of another state is killed by the Italians, the Government will rise on its feet and take a jiffy to slam down the persons who did that, only because the secretary of the PM belongs to the state of the victims? Where is the so called spirit of the nation here?

Every year the statistical department of India takes account of overall production of Agricultural goods, At least the primary scale will be on the national wide one. But the states of the Great nation didn’t think this way, it appears so. They will allow huge amount of water drain and wasted into the Oceans but they won’t allow the rain shadow regions to get that water. The reason they say is, If they allow that, there will be shortage of production, People will die due to the break in the dam which store the water for the rain shadowed region, and many other kinder garden reasons.

But all I can see is selfishness and Ugly politics.

When new people are put together in a class during freshman year they need an Ice breaker to understand the class better. India needs an ice breaker too (OMG! For 100 billion people?).I ain’t kidding, the scenario is like that.

You know what? When people from other parts of India go to the seven-sister states (The north eastern territories) people there will say to each other that they are from India. Then where the hell they have been living? This is pathetic; Terrorism is at the peak among the peaks of Himalayas in those states because of the lack of government focus in those areas. They have tasted very less developmental plans. I don’t know how many of you remember Irom Sharmila, Girl who was under fasting for almost a decade. What for? For withdrawing the special rights provided to the Indian Army. Special right is what; When Indian Army can enter your house and kill you without asking any question, If they find you connected with terrorists (the act says so). This is happening in those sister states and Kashmir valleys.

Nothing goes much different in the Dhandak forests (Government says them as Naxal regions) from the North eastern states. I’ll come to those areas in a post entirely dedicated for that in future.

I dream for the day when Punjabi Sardars come to work in Madurai with the feel of being in home. I dream for a day where the people of India help each other for the mutual development. I don’t have the feel that those days are not in near future.

I couldn’t understand this logic boss, when honorable traffic police men find bus or lorry with other state registration, you must see their faces, and for them quite an amount is assured. They see those drivers as Pakistani or Chinese citizen without pass port and not as an Indian citizen from the neighbor state.

The worst part is when a Boy/Girl of one Indian state fell in love with a Girl/Boy of another state, they face a whole lot of problem more than building an atomic power plant. Parents/family/state reacts like they are going to marry an alien from mars (Even Marrying within the state in other community is a great head ache here, pinna enga?). I respect you for this Mr.Chetan! You surely deserve a hat-off

Even though we have friends from other states, how normal we try to be with them, they always have the difference in their minds. They will consider a bad-their state friend and a good-other state friend as same. I’m seeing it in day-to-day life. I get exhausted out of frustration every time when I see such situations.

I don’t know if I’m the only person in late teens who feels the seriousness of this problem because of my constant reading of all the possible newspapers and magz from my early teen age. I fear that India will get the condition of U.S.S.R (Former U.S.S.R got broken into many fragment nations, the biggest fragment is Russia). This may be my implication after my scrutiny of this problem.

My One liner for this is:
