Mutiny in diversity!!

The recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir and later in Orissa have made us look like a bunch of juveniles to the whole world, who are fighting for crazy tiny little things and the only difference being that in the process, we are killing each other. To begin with, the controversies in respect of Amarnath Shrine Board's Land are the issues that have been blown out of proportion, courtesy BJP and the Hurriat Conference. The leaders of Hurriat Conference have publicly thanked BJP and its sidekick VHP, who have finally found something to make their presence felt, for reviving the separatist agenda in Jammu and Kashmir. Unfortunately, the central government has failed to put its foot down and control the situation in this case which really questions the credibility of this government who is still euphoric to be able to “win” the confidence motion in July.

The other instance in Orissa, where a VHP leader was killed and again the VHP’s agenda of extremism found an excuse to burn the churches and missionaries which has unfortunately attracted the attention of western countries hurting the secular image of the country. Such incidents are not novel for this country which has seen the religious hallucinations of the extremists. The situation in Jammu and Kashmir is very serious which has endangered the unity of the Republic of India. The separatist agenda has got a new lease of life and it is slowly turning out to be a ubiquitous monster which will adversely affect the sovereignty of India. The author wishes that a national party of the stature of BJP should have shown some political ingenuity instead of opportunism in this case. As media reports quote, for the first time, the people in valley were shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad, Bharat teri maut aayi’. The Author hopes that the government and the main opposition party will comprehend the gravity of this situation and will act pragmatically for the unity of the country. Or else, we will not be witnessing the unity in diversity, but a vulgar display of Mutiny in diversity!The author does not wish to revert, but knows that he will be back to write more about this ...sooner or later!!!
