Indians are the most racist

I may seem a bit harsh in my statement but it’s true that we Indians are most racist than any other community in the world. I couldn’t restrain myself venting my anguish over the incidents taking place in Mumbai for past four days. When Harbhajan was banned for his racist remarks; whole India cried foul in the name of Mahatma Gandhi and his struggle against racism, but we are not ready to consider it racism when Raj Thakre plays a divisive politics by separating Maharshtra from rest of the India. One can say that it’s all part of political vendetta and doesn’t represent a common man but I am sure of the fact that if common people are not biased they can’t be enraged by mere a filthy speech thrown by any politician. Politicians are like catalyst that provokes the squib people have in their hearts. The feel of being an Indian takes a back stand when it comes to one’s regional ethnicity. In the wake of such incidents India can be better described as federation of states rather than being a sovereign country. It has already been divided into North and south India by Britishers and is known for differences between so called Aryans and Dravids. Regional politics poses a further divide of the hearts. The root cause of the problem is proliferation of regional politics. Regional leaders don’t have a bigger vision beyond their states owing to their small presence and competition with national parties which keep them glued to their regional agendas. As a common man, we should understand that in this global world where the boundaries have become virtually obscured we can’t restrain our cultures and cities from getting affected. When people say that their cities are loosing its identity due to migration from other states/any other parts; they should also understand the simultaneous benefit of that. Once the city is opened for economic growth people converge from all directions and participate in the growth of the city. Locals get direct or indirect employment and get benefited from the income disposed by those outsiders. You can’t expect a place to be continued in its original shape over the years by defying other socio economic factors. India still has a long way to go and the targets are so bigger to achieve rather than indulging in such small feuds. Try to be an Indian first …………Jai-Hind
