Thanks for dividing us

Thanks to the vote-hungry politicians of this country, we are more divided than perhaps ever before. As if dividing the country’s Hindus and Muslims was not enough, now we have a division among classes, castes, sub-castes…What next Mr Politician? Division based on dialects, complexion, size…
And look at the co-called opposition party not even whispering a word against the policy…too scared to lose its vote bank. For that matter, how come none of the political parties are keeping mum on the subject. Let the students be lathicharged. Let industry leaders and those heading prestigious institutions express their reservations on reservation. Mr Politician cannot see anything beyond votes. So what if it means ripping apart the country social fabric and compartmentalizing every community.
Here’s to more ghettos in the country… wherein one generation will grow up grudging the other (for no fault of theirs), blaming them for their repeated failure of not getting a job or an admission. But, let the country stay divided, Mr Politician would be thinking. Better to woo one set of people for votes than a united country.
