Present Indian politics
by Tathagata Mukherjee on Nov 07, 2007 11:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies


1. Extreme level of minority pampering.

2. Hindus are being divided along caste.

Time to think: IS THIS "PRINCIPLED" NEHRUVIAN POLITICS, SECULARISM?

Nehru may have had some limitation (nobody is perfect). But he never pursued the politics of rallying muslims (and xtians) in the name of religion, and play caste politics with Hindus.

NEVER NEHRU DID THAT.

Hindus are being divide along caste lines.... Factually in correct staement.

Hindus were divided on caste lines for thousands of years. Why are you un-necessarily giving the credit to the politicians? Nobody has to divide Hindus. They do it themselves!

Caste was used as a weapon by upper castes for many centuries.

Now that weapon has come in the hands of lower castes & the upper castes now shiver in fear.

The lower castes must use this weapon fruitfully & with agressiveness. Its a very powerful weapon!

Caste is more durable than any other philosophy or ism. This is the chance of the lower castes to use the weapon of caste to their advantage.

Its a welcome change to Indian politics.
We have seen the results in UP. We must welcome it to all India scale!

Whose Hindu history is that? Taught in Madrasa and Missionary school? Divide and rule?
