Unsync....

We are a nation of 28 states, 7 union territories (Do I have the right figure?
Are we still 28 states or have I missed out on more partitions) and billions of people of all caste, creed, color and dialect. We have been living in harmony for centuries, fought battles together, and overcame disasters and calamities till the better half of the 20th century…when suddenly our dodgy, rickety, self proclaimed leaders decided to exercise their arthritic mind and dole out declarations for reservations in democratic institutions and organizations.
The result is all for us to see. The East, West, North and the South are all aflame. The East doesn’t want churches, the west doesn’t want mosques, and North doesn’t want temples.
Where does this lead us normal mortals? Living in perpetual fear, not knowing whether your head would be the next target of an over excited politician’s goon….
