Totally Disturbed
by on Apr 29, 2008 12:04 AM

Reading all the messages I am totally disturbed. It looks like India is already divided and there's no need to divide it. Its a bomb that can explode any day. The rulers (Invaders - Mughals, British, French, Portuguese) took advantage of this limitation of ours and exploited us for over 400 years. If this is the kind of thinking that a person calls himself/herself a kannadiga (or any other regional language) before he calls him(her)self a human being then the state of affairs is very bad and the time is not very far when the unity in diversity will remain only in name and India might become another example of disintegration over trivial issues like the USSR. Very sorry to read the comments to Mr. U R Ananthamurthy's interview. Ancient India was famous for its logic, tolerance, open-mindedness and acceptance of a world view. But as time has gone by the views have got more and more fanatic and fundamentalistic in nature. If this continues it will only end at the nadir of disintegraion of a legacy of 5000 years. The oldest civilisation is working against itself.
