Unity in Diversity is no more in India.

Unity in Diversity is no more in India.

"Lamentation  from a concerned citizen giving up the hope of United India"

It was a tagline to celebrate India for a long time. While progressing, it becomes apparent India is moving away from this globally acclaimed mention. Indians may never imagined it would grow to a country where caste enjoys a paramount decisive position while independence  was acquired with a united effort and subsequent constitution enshrined a secular community. Now Indians are being largely devoluted and influenced  by majority appeasement and the resulted minority suppression.

When India is at the pinnacle of its democratic process, it's neither development nor humanity the point  of discussion. It's hate, caste and fear determines who should rule them.
In south, a group polarized in the name of God, in north and centre,  communal voices prevail. In West Bengal and North East, lakhs are quarantined questioning their citizenship. Thousands are pulped up on what to eat and not to eat, what to say and not say, what to and not do. When Dalits are the real dwellers of this land from time immemorial, they are being thrown in to dumps. Many institutions  are coloured with religious vedanta including even the content of education propaganda which has to decide the destiny of the nation. Its is a hard truth that education alone will not help us to get rid from the craze of religious sentiments which is stark in Kerala where many caste colurs patronise politically as all caste groups subscribe to some political ideologues  just to retain their stake. India seems not safe for minorities to stay. 

Quoting  Karl Marx,  religion is the opium of people and sigh of the oppressed, Indians now move to the fear by Vivekananda's 'lunatic asylum' with all its extremes. Indians have to walk to the past glory of its renowned thinkers to learn that a nation must develop on brotherhood and not on any fringe  elements whatever it may be.
