A perfect recipe for India's Balkanisation

You started the fire sir with your "Garv se kaho hum Hindu hai". All the while conveniently forgetting that you were letting lose a Frankenstein's Monster. Where do you stop? Jai Maharashtra, Jai UP, Jai Bihar and Jai what not. Why lamenting now when somebody else is making use of regional identity to strengthen his political base. All's fair in war and politics, isn't it?
We all know how Yugoslavia got embroiled in the sinister ethnic cleansing way back in the 90s. Even you and the likes of the VHP, bajrang Dal tried it: albeit, by butchering Muslims. Then it was 'they' vs 'us'. Today that 'us' is sub-divided based on caste (as you pointed it yourself), regions, sub-regions. The story goes on.
You and your fascist hordes supported the systematic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat. Today, it's the turn of the Marathas to do the same with the UPites. This is the bane of Indian society today.
Remember, and I think you will since it was not in the distant past, what happened to Pakistan in 1971.
You can't divide and rule but when you do you are successful for a while and bask in that glory -- like Mr Narendra Modi is doing currently -- but the long term repercussions are for all to see. I am sure if the state of the situation continues like this very soon we will have a CKP fighting a maratha, a maratha fighting a goldsmith (marathas thinks that goldsmiths --sonars-- are OBCs and hence should be lookde down upon.

Can you please confirm that India is a Secular Country? If so, right after Independence, people of all languages, regions, castes are all subject to the same Civil Code? Also all the States in India enjoy the same privileges? If it is not so, how can you say that genuine secularists (whom you call Hindutwavadi) are responsible for this situation?

Right Shyam. Your point is taken. Even the Kashmiri Hindus had to face the brunt of majority ire in Kashmir. Pseudo-secularists like me do conveniently forget such facts.
All said and done, the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus must also be highlighted. My apologies. The point here is irrespective of regional, religious, caste-based, ethnicity-based identities such incidents are a perfect recipe for India's Balkanisation -- even the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus as you have mentioned.
