They all are from the same lot, exploiting the
religious sentiments of this or that population group to further their
political agenda.
Their only goal now is to manage somehow their
presence in the power corridors and they can go to any extent for it.
The common man, be it a Hindu or a Muslim or a
Sikh or a Christian or a Dalit or a Forward Caste or a Backward Caste, has been
reduced to nothing but a pawn in their hands to manipulate the System to make
their sub-System dominating over the larger System versioned and put in place
63 years ago by the Indian Constitution.
The poor, the dependent and the weak, from every
religious and caste group face similar problems of survival.
But fools they are!
They are so easily duped by the politicians,
year after year, election after election, in the name of religion, in the name
of caste, in the name of regionalism.
And every political group, be it the so-called
seculars and the so-called communals, have equally contributed in propagating
this treacherous machinery.
No political outfit in India is secular and the
whole debate surrounding the ‘secular vs communal’ controversy is a big lie.
The nation has seen religious riots during rules of almost every political
outfit.
Communal or secular - it’s a game of political manipulation
that is fought on perceptions. It’s like pizza - the base remains the same,
only the toppings vary.
Creating perceptions – to manipulate us!
Manipulating perceptions – to rule over us!
Perceptions, to keep us occasionally hallucinating
that the good days would come.
Perceptions, to shows us the bare minimum of
what was required to be done asking us to base our aspirations on that bare
minimum, that proves nothing more than a mirage in the end.
Perceptions, to tell us they are working for us.
Perceptions, to tell us what they say and make
us see is right.
Perceptions, to tell us we do not have
alternatives but to follow them.
Perceptions, to kill our genuine perceptions.
And they all, communals as well as seculars, are
united in this.
