Well this election season, India is witnessing the worst of political equations or tactics and a politics of divide. Whether its smaller regional parties with narrow outlook for the betterment and development of a particular region or parties which are fighting for a religion or cast. Moreover, these parties which have just these fringe areas of expertise, this would be an exaggeration in its own right to say that, are muscling or ailing the two national parties for a share of power at the center which has to frame the policies for a nation as a whole.
Such a fractured polity can result in the divide of the nation on regional, religion and cast basis. The question before the general public is that, does it want India to stand united or divided in the future on such lines and what their and nation's future holds in such a fractured scenario. It makes me wonder, that it is not bad to have different views, ideologies for attaining similar goal but what is worrying that the goal is not to see India as a developed nation. Instead each party has one goal and that is to have power at the center irrespective of their ideological differences.
Its amazing to see, that these parties are ready to forget there basic ideological differences in sharing the power hierarchy at the center and contradicts themselves for what they stand for. They still call themselves as the only party or alliance which cares about India, its unity and diversity and plans to push India in the direction of development and prosperity.
Its as if a box is pushed in all the directions with variable forces and somehow they have figured out a way to move it forward in the right direction without deforming or defragmenting it.
Lets. hope that the country is so strongly cohesive that whatever be the mandate of the people it still continues to move forward, even at snail pace, without disintegrating itself.
