‘We shall have India divided or we shall have India destroyed.’ In August 1946 Mohammad Ali Jinnah declared in front of his followers in Muslim League.
My reading of Freedom at Midnight coincides with BJP’s drama of unfurling tricolour at Lal Chowk Srinagar. Last week during regular evening stroll, my friend talked about the loss caused to India and Pakistan due to partition. He viewed that both the countries have spent too much on arms and the same could be utilised in the development of both of them. But I am of the view that he had seen a small loss, very small. There are bigger losses and biggest of them is the shifting of focus. The politicians successfully shift the focus of people from the real issues in both the countries. Think wats more important! Nuke bomb, fighter aircraft, rearing terrorism and ruling over beautiful valley of Kashmir or poverty, development, corruption and the peaceful life of the people of Kashmir. These shrewd politicians very cunningly shift the attention of the people from the real problems. They play with the people’s emotions and shift their focus from the real problems. What more, an ill humoured political party named BJP kicks the ball inside its own goalpost from the penalty circle of the opponent. Last time it did with ‘India shine’ and again with Tiranga Yatra! It was going very well with inflation and corruption issues then y this foolishness of Lal Chowk.
Just think about the security personnel deployed in the valley and then sub zero temperature and then the misadventure of BJP. Was this yatra really required! After 4 months of closes, clashes and civilians' death the things were becoming normal. BJP should understand Jammu & Kashmir is not an ordinary state. Situation there is fragile. It has to be dealt with caution. It’s not that people in Kashmir do not like to unfurl the tricolour like others but situation there is not like rest of the country. In fact they are not living the life like ordinary citizen of this country. After all why shud ABVP or BJP should go there and unfurl the national flag? Should not they go there and share the grief of those mothers who have lost their sons in police firing or to see what kind of life common man is living there! Using force to maintain law and order is one thing but feeling the pain of those who suffered due to use of that force is another. Kashmir is not a colony of India rather it’s a part of her and its citizens enjoy same rights (and in certain cases more) as other Indians. The politicians should not forget things, like this, snatch even the basic rights from civilians.
Thank u Jinnah sahib, u divided India and destroyed it!

BJP's leadership is getting disoriented and moving away from its ideology, that's why Sonia like leader is able to run dictatorial government despite no public support. There is no alternative, U can blog only or may do something for your self satisfaction.
