Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Politics of Polarization



In the election speeches , soft-spoken Congress leaders are blaming hard-hitting BJP leaders of trying to " polarize " the voters along community lines , viz:


>   Hindu      Vs      Muslim


But polarization has been around since the birth of the Earth - even before


Take a look at the following " Poles "  :


>     Matter     Vs     Anti-matter


>     Mass       Vs      Energy


>     Day        Vs       Night


>     Earth      Vs       Sky


>     Male       Vs       Female


>     Old         Vs       Young


>     Rich        Vs       Poor


>     Classes    Vs      Masses


>     Dieting    Vs       Starving


>     Employed   Vs    Jobless


>     Educated  Vs     Illiterate


>     Healthy     Vs     Diseased


>     Dictators   Vs     Democrats


>     Developed   Vs    Deprived


>     Skilled       Vs     Unskilled...............  etc



And none of these " poles " are likely to disappear anytime soon


In fact , ' polarization " is ,


>       Anaadi         (  without a beginning  )


>       Anant           (  without an end   )


>       Avinaashi      (  Non - Destructible  )



( which also happens to be the only way to define God    )



Ancient Indian philosophers called this phenomenon , " Dwait - Waad "


The eternal cosmic dance of " Twin-ism "


Narendra Modi does not deserve " Credit " for inventing something that has always existed  - and will continue to exist even when Congress and BJP cease to exist !


But then , " polarization " makes for a nice topic for TV anchors to ask sundry experts , their opinions  !
