I
considered Bal Thackeray as divisive as Jinnah.
However, I had a hope that the new generation
will shift to more important national issues
instead of sticking to regionalism. Even the
highest seat of judiciary smells Raj’s
statements and actions as divisive and
unacceptable for the nation.
And the news of the stars joining Raj bandwagon
is still more serious.
Why can’t join the nation all over that is
celebrating the win the Indian cricket team?
Look at the team constitution. How has it become
national in all meaning of the term? Young boys
from East, West, North and South have teamed to
win over the mightiest. Do Dhoni, Sachin, Irfan,
or Pradeep belong to a state, language, or
community? The nation must celebrate the India’s
team power and the wonder it can achieve.
India can achieve the same in every field, be it
IT or manufacturing, once it can get rid of the
vested interest of its politicians. Let them not
degenerate our heroes from epics or history. No
region can own them. Ram can’t just belong to
Ayodhya, Ashoka can’t be made Bihari, Akbar
can’t remain in minority, and Gandhi can’t be
Gujarati. Let us respect the faith of the
people. Let them worship the Sun, Ganesh or
Durga all over the country and enjoy the
festivities at Eid and Diwali or Pongal. Let the
nation relish dosa idli as well as tandoori. And
let the politicians stop talking foul.
Let Jinnah be out of Indian minds. Don’t join
the ghosts of Jinnah.
