We always blame the British for dividing us without questioning why did we allow ourselves to be divided. Why did we allow our free spirit and thinking become slaves to the mob mentality. 1857 for anything should be remembered for the immense unity that it brought about among Hindus and Muslims. We divided ourselves by our narrow minded thought process. We blame the leaders because thats what human beings always do. We didnt have the courage to be masters of our own destiny.
