Last few weeks have been turbulent in Maharashtra. A new wave of regionalism is being carved in the already divided country. When will the common man understand things like this ?
Already divided coutry ? you know why... because
* We fight over cast
* We fight over religion
* We fight over status
* We fight over how one should live or not live
* We fight on some things as silly as one can imagine.
But still we manage to stay together is because we still have some hope left. We have few people who understand how dangerous it can get.
Just imagine.. today we are fighting on the basis of STATE, what is the gurantee that you won't fight for your DISTT.. your CITY.. tomorrow. Looks impossible right.. mind it few years back even division on the basis of STATE looked so.
We do have regionalism problems in some states, but I never ever realised it will take to this level.
Ya its right that local people shouldn't be compromised, I also stand by that argument. But the way it was carried out had left a deep scar. How long it will take to heal is difficult to prdict, and will it ever be the same as before ?? We still remember what BABRI MASJID, GODHRA, GUJRAT, and other incidents has done to our society.
The feeling of NOT WANTED is such that you get to think in a wrong way, get to act in a wrong way...and this is what I fear the most for my beloved country.
Yes few states today are ahead in development and people from other parts come in thousands..so what should they do.. should they leave their family unfed ? such is the pain of being poor and helpless, we can hardly think of..let alone doing something for them.
I have deep love for Maharashtra, I have lived here for the most part of my life. Whenever I go back, I give examples of its development, law and order, etc compared to other states.. But these comparisons were meant to be healthy.. never to show you are inferiour or I am superior...
Politicians of other states instead of making inflammatory comments should go back and look at what they have done. They are the reasons why people keep coming for jobs. Instead of working for the development, they choose to incite public passion.
In cricket we always had most of the players from Mumbai, Karnataka...what if we start to have players from all over the country based on regions and not merit ? Will our team be the same ? Let alone a great team, will we be able to play together..and what will be the result ? its anyone's guess...
Give me a sigle example where you can achieve 100% localization.. Building plants involve machinary from outside countries, we even share technology for tasks like building bridges, power plants, even agriculture, etc.. Our country has generated lakhs of jobs in IT, because of other coutries.. Should we say a big NO to all this ? And what will we achieve then ? If we just want to talk about REGIONALISM, where will it take us ?
Today we don't want people from other states.. ohh sorry from states like UP and Bihar.. People from other states need not worry..Right ? Totally wrong.. Will there not be voices against the remaining ones later .. there will be...because how are you going to draw a line.. ? "Divide and Rule" bares none.
Almost everyone goes to place of worship, how can we face GOD if we do so wrong.. or are we behaving like GOD ?
Ours is a country full of GODMEN, some preache YOGA..some there other styles..no one is worried about whats going on in the coutry.. What kind of worshippers they are and are they worthy of that ?
Why do we again and again say law is same for one and all. 99% of the time it isn't. Its a big mockery. Why don't we change the constituion which says it will be differnt for politicians, different for rich peoples, differnt for musclemens.. and all the laws will be applied to helpless..
Let people live in peace, they already have enough worries to take care of. And let us stay united, because then only we will be able to take INDIA to the next level.

Well said bro, atleast you found enough time to write an article taking time out from your busy schedule.
Keep it up and don't think who reads it .. we are here
Great Job Sujit, your write-ups has something which forces us to think think and think...... If every Indian inculcate these thinking I bet No "Raj Thackerey" will be able to divide and rule.
It's such a pity that earlier we were ruled by Britishers and now we are Ruled by our own countrymen (Politicians)
Thanks for your comments Meenakshi.
