Many ordinary people still do not think that we r moving towards a civil war, so long as it is not neighbor against neighbor... intolerance and mistrust are spreading, especially among the Marathis nd North Indians youth... Street slang is violent and dehumanizing. ..Another worrisome issue is that the people on both sides seem to be growing restless%u2014open regional conflict between regional groups would add an organized, popular and rural dimension to the sectarian violence...The displacement clearly helps further the political agenda of these extremist politicians... The politicians all share in fact common goals: to consolidate their parties, and to pose as both protector and provider of marathas nd biharis pride... The pleas for calm and restraint by people like us to the youth of this country would appear feckless...god save the nation...
