The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Our honorable and learned Home Minister's remark that India would prosper more without the north Indian states, is conspicuous of his farsightedness and propensity towards progressivism! How about the freebie culture in his own state in the ongoing state election campaign? Promising free laptops, mixies and such other sundry items to woo the voters. Why not promise free education, free health facilities, crime free society like the one in the state of Bihar. How about his colleague, one of a kind and a luminary! Mr. Raja doing acts of largesse for the society, he also belongs to his state. How about, he discussing internal matters of India with US diplomats? How is he better than those blinkered elements during the British vintage colonialism, engaging in espionage for the imperialists for pecuniary gains and later perishing at the hands of Britishers only? There can never be an alibi for Mr. Chidambaram's jaundiced view. If he believes in utilitarianism, then allow J&K and North-eastern states to secede. A quadriplegic even survives the adversaries of the world so does a fully functional human body. Every part has a role to play, be that heart or any vestigial organ for that matter. Politicians with myopic vision like him are responsible for breeding parochialism in the country. They are no better than the fissiparous Quaddhafi or Hosni Mubarak or Abdullah Saleh, the only difference is that our politicians are served on a silver platter of a farce democracy.
"If there ever is to be a republic of every village in India, then I claim verity for my picture in which the last is equal to the first or, in other words, no one is to be the first and none the last."
-M.K. Gandhi
