I love my country.........

Since my school days i have read a lot about India,and the more i know about it,the more i am left wanting for,It is truly a nation of paradoxes......They call it Unity in Diversity but this unity is present only in a form of a fabric which tears apart at the slightest provocation....May it be Noakhali or Kolkatta in 1946 or the Mumbai of 1993,no city or region is untouched with the experiences of hatred,a tiny event can make the masses thirsty of blood as they did in Gujarat in 2001.

Anyway,but i think that is not new for India,when the earliest of the texts i.e. Rigveda was being composed there were bloody battles going on in the areas west-northwest of Ganges b/w racially different Aryans and the Indus Valley People who probably were Dravidians.As the time moved,the centre of battles and more importantly FUSION among the invaders and opressers took place unstoppingly in almost two thousand years giving rise to the variety in form of Jatis,Castes and sometimes Religions.
The land northwest has been witness to some of the bloodiest wars in history since the days of Cyrus the great.......Then there was a fusion due to the contact first with Persians then Greeks,then again the central Asian tribes and the process went on and on but sadly the great nation in the process drew itself into its shell forming various Jatis,Castes and Religions to preserve their purity of blood.....There are even the evidences of incestous marriages in order to preserve the so called purity......The people who tried to get out of it by converting their religions carried their place in the society with them.

But the big question is that till when this will be sustained......Can the nation hold itself against such opposing forces.......The question is open to all the readers.......
