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  !
