We should not forget that this is election season. A myth is created that Divisive Politics is Good Politics. The Godhra riots is a good example. Gujurat being communaly polarized has given Modi his 3rd term. Now the BJP is replicating a modified version of this strategy - dividing Tamilians & Kanndigas who lived peacefully together for ages.
BJP's long term ally, Shiv Sena in Maharashtra similarly targets North Indians. In the intial stages of their political history, ironically they targeted South Indians but during the Aydhoya period, switched to Muslims as they thought there was better political capital to be made.
Like rivers switching their course, these divisive parties switch their targets. It could be Muslims one day and one can say it does not concern me as I'm not Muslim. They then turn to North Indians we say it does not concern us as we are not North Indians. Suddenly they start targeting you because you are either a Kanndiga or Tamilian and the reality hits home. The worst are those who have mixed parentage. In this Hogenakkal issue, thousands of offsprings whose parents are Tamil & Kanndiga are left extremely distressed.
If you still not one of them, don't worry. Tomorrow, these same parties will target you on the basis of your caste.It is time to show Divisive parties, may it be BJP, Muslim League or BSP their place- throw them into the Bay of Bengal or Arabian Sea!

I read an article a while ago, that how hitler got power in germany. They target one group after the other.
Somebody explain in words like these how nazism took hold in germany at that time: If you are not targeted you stay quite, if another group is targeted you also stayed quiet- then they start targeting you- everybody else will stayed quiet. In the end- people just come to accept the unacceptable.

Hi Rajana
First throw dirty Congress in to any ocean of your wish. Because congress and its master Nehru was resposbile for formation of states based the languages.
Congreess is the root cause of all the problems in Bharath.
