Ramchundar, In India, you can separate every centre of influence or centre of "opinion-making" into "A DIVIDER" and "A UNITER". There is a third category of individuals, "DISRUPTERS" - you will find them in every Indian office, organisation - they are tolerated in India in a way no other country does. We have some bloody-minded people who support such disrupters. India may suffer the most damage to public property than any other country in the world. That is how unruly we are. Media won't publish statistics on buses burnt etc. Caste-awareness is so strong that most political parties play on it. The one party that tried to unite Hindus, over-coming caste barriers, the BJP, unfortunately got into a mess with "Ayodhya" issue. Strangely, if you seek to unite Hindus, that is communalism and any political party that does it is a "communal force". The Congress and Samajwadi parties posture a lot about "casteless" society but what they do in action is to exploit caste. But the media here has not got the intelligence or will to investigate and expose the so-called "secular" parties, which are in practice, "Caste parties". The English language media sticks to this platform of "secular" and "communal" parties - they won't investigate this division. Incidentally, the muslim-only parties are "secular" for this media. That is how perverted they are. Our entire public debate in India takes place on a number of such distorted platforms. Amazing the little progress that is made.
