When ever we have problem, we look for some one to blame. If a Marathi does not have a job, it is easy for a leader to blame a UP guy who has job in that state. British used this technique very well in a subtle fashion. The caste and religious quarrels of India are planted by the British followed by the Indians themselves later in a very subtle way. They elevated those who are advantage to them too. That could divide the nation and kill millions.
