Dividing the Population on Communal lines will take the Country Backwards

The party ruling the center is attempting to divide Bihar on communal lines in their election rhetoric in the final phases of election. A similar thing was done by communal politicians at the time of India's freedom. Read 'Indian Wins freedom' to know events that lead to the partition of India. Dividing the population on communal lines will take the country backwards. Painful to see history is repeating itself. The results are not difficult to predict for India as a whole, if the divisive politics continues. Why can’t the election be fought on the basis of development on the lines of education, healthcare, poverty eradication, roads, electricity, clean drinking water, industry and investment in the state etc. Everyone gets benefitted by these works. Those resorting to divide people on communal lines, prove that they do not have anything to offer on making the state progress and prosper. The voters must reject all those who are fanning the religious passion, no matter which community such leaders come from. 

Let us stop getting manipulated by shrewd leaders and start writing our own destiny by electing the able leaders among ourselves.

Divisive Politics had Hurt India Then and it will Hurt India Now

Just finished reading 'India Wins Freedom' by Abul Kalam Azad. Totally convinced, that the partition of the Indian sub-continent was wrong. It was very painful to see how a few terribly minor incidents went on to turn the tables in favor of Muslim League, and in favor of partition resulting in thousands of deaths, large-scale suffering and the starting point of a potentially never-ending state of animosity between two neighboring nations. The entire sub-continent has been left behind in terms of development. A free united India with provincial autonomy to the extent desired by the respective states as suggested by Cabinet Mission would have been put India on path of a highly progressive and modern nation. Hope we learn from the history and understand the background of our current status and act as appropriate so that the wrongs of the past is corrected to the extent possible. Divisive politics had hurt India then and it will hurt India now. Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it, fits very well here.
