A lot of incessant & feverish research work has been going on “How To Dismantle ‘SARDAR’s India” since India got its so called freedom from the colonial powers! Great theses were submitted on the subject all over India, all these years, by all the ‘WHO’s WHO of India’! Ship loads of hard work have been continuously spent on this matter; but still somehow, the wholesome India Indians had from 1947 or little later kept to drag on!
Just before the Indian Independence, The Pakees went away with ‘their Muslim Part of India’, with the foolhardy conviction that everything will be fine after that! And, the result is still there in front of our eyes, even decades after Partition! Despite we, the whole India, – India & The Muslim India- read now the present day Pakistan! – fighting against the ‘DIVIDE & RULE TACTICS’ of the British in the pre independence India & almost succeeding @ it, we started to master the art of ‘DIVIDE & RULE’ in Independent India! Each & every politician of this great country became the master of this British-found British- managed technique! And, they went all over the world propagating ‘this surrogate philosophy’ as their own & took classes @ Cambridge & Oxford!
The man who made the present day India what it is almost now, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who did whatever he could to REUNITE INDIA after the Indian Independence must be a very happy man now, seeing all the ‘DIVIDE & RULE’ things happening in India, from the other side of the world! For the Modern India & Its people & of course Its leaders “Doing & Undoing and Doing & Undoing in a billion variety ways’ seem to be favourite pastime for all these decades, since Independence! And, we, the Independent Indians are extremely happy that we can still cling onto the colonial day legacy ‘DEVIDE & RULE’ even after we publically ditched all that that’s colonial!
Due to the pressure from ‘the foe within in the pre independent India’ we let the divisive forces, whatever be their form, form Pakistan; due to the insensible pressure from Nehru, a pragmatic Sardar was forced to agree to the foolish ‘SPECIAL STATUS’ to J&K! The divisive forces which were at work before & at the time of Independence are still at work, with full vigour and dedication! From those days’ ‘Straight Version of the Divisive Things’ it has transformed itself into myriad forms of deception that finding these divisive forces today has become a Herculean Task! These DIVISIVE FORCES come in all hues & colours and multidimensional shapes! From the so-called intellectuals/thinkers to educators & speakers, from the politicians to the philosophers & ideologues these forces are omnipresent & invisible! These Invisible & Omnipresent Divisive Forces have, now a days, a highly explosive, destructive, irresponsible & at the same time easily accessible weapon named ‘24/7 Media’ to further/spread their vested interests, like wildfire! And, that’s what they use invariably!
The views the Great Sardar had about Kashmir, Junagadh, Hyderabad, Tibet & Goa had the world against him! The leading people of the post independent India, including the first prime minister of India, Nehru stood against the vision & wisdom of the very Pragmatic Sardar! People, including Nehru listened to the HOLLOW VOICES –or should we call it false commotion?!- RAISED BY THESE SAME DIVISIVE FORCES! And for listening to this commotion-illusion the Indians suffered a lot, even after Independence! We, the Indians, almost lost Kashmir when we listened to these divisive forces; and still we are losing lives in Kashmir thanks to our stupidity of NOT LISTENING TO THE SARDAR WHEN HE WAS SPEAKING WISDOM!
Kashmir & Arunachal Pradesh have been out of the Indian map –India’s International Map!- for most of the 64 year period (since Independence!) due to these camouflaged proponents of division! We kept on dividing people of India in the lines of these Hippocratic & Sly Divisive Forces! In the name of FALSE SECULARISM we tolerated religious fanaticism & intolerance, and poured oil into the fire lit by the Divisive Forces! We kept Kashmir separate with special privileges that one day we lose it COMPLETELY; we made Malappuram (A district in the state of Kerala!) based on religious grounds way back in 1967 that one day we grow enemies within! We kept treading the path created by the Divisive Forces all these decades, since Independence!
Division by caste, creed, language, faith, politics & a million other things flourished in India like wild shoots in the wilderness! On whatever we had/have we fought with one another to divide & rule in the name of these million non-existent things! People started to take the Fabled Land of India Piece By Piece – In the name of Language, Religion, Caste, Politics, Muscle Power etc! For them even the heart breaking partition of 1947 was not enough! All over India people started to think of & do the essential work for ‘HOME STATES’ with the borders being the borders of their own homes! They cried “POORNA HOME SWARAJ” from their roof tops! Wherever there was a slight chance of making a division the DIVISIVE FORCES worked overtime till the problem reached a head! They almost succeeded in Kashmir with their terror-sponsored diplomacy; another pressure group won Malappuram; another pressure group won the Gorkha Land; and another pressure group is near winning Telangana!
Kashmir, Malappuram, Gorkha Land, Telangana etc have all become an inspiration to all those who wish to do their ‘SWARAJ LESSONS’ properly and definitely they can & do take a couple of leaves out of all these issues created by ‘the Divisive Forces Working Inside India’, 24/7! Let’s be happy to think that what a great man like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel did for all of us, Indians, we are undoing shamelessly & with ingratitude! And, let’s celebrate the fact that we with all our greed, shamelessness, arrogance, tunnel vision, ingratitude, narrow-mindedness, petty thinking and blind following of the Divisive Forces are on the sure way to the disintegration of a great dream called India!

The Language Experts Of India!
In Tokyo, Singapore & Hongkong one would find someone who speaks multiple languages. Despite being native speakers they manage a good number of languages, though a native speaker can always find something amiss; but these people never let the listeners nauseate with their 'fluency' over any of the languages they profess they speak!
Come to India, the scenario drastically changes! Here one can find millions of people who speak multiple languages! And, here also one can find more millions who profess they speak multiple languages! If one is in any of the metropolises of India, one will definitely find a large number of 'these professors' who eagerly wait for an opportunity to establish their mastery over multiple languages!
When we were children, I always heard my papa's younger cousin's stories of daredevilry with multiple languages in Arabia, where he worked in those days! It was mostly at some functions like marriage & birthday etc he would tell these glorious stories of his language power! There were always large audiences for his stories, who were only poor guys who only knew & talked their mother tongue! They didn’t even know the alphabets of the universal language English!
He usually started the stories in a situation where he would be driving a motor vehicle of the company he worked for! Usually, he reaches a place far away from the civilisation & all of a sudden a police car appears from no where! The officer usually stops his car & asks "@**$#%*&&*&@@!!&**#&$$#%&@&$!#&**!" in Arabic or English - whichever be the language other than their mother tongue, the listeners of the stories understood not even a mite, ever!- to which he with all his universal powers responded "bnui**#wdhij&!%#%#%()*#^!%*&&!(!*(!@*@$#&&!!^^^^#%%@!" And, the police officers never dared, the eager listeners would be told, to speak even a word against what he had told them FLUENTLY IN WHATEVER LANGUAGE THEY SPOKE TO HIM, ever! I heard him telling the very same story years - 20-25 or more years after!- after when it was my younger brother's marriage; then also I found the listeners around him watching him with awe! "What a language expert!", they must too have thought, despite the story being at the least a quarter of a century old!!
Like him there are millions in India WHO PROFESS TO SPEAK MULTIPLE LANGUAGES FLUENTLY! When an unlucky one gets into the net of THIS PROFESSOR, he jumps at the opportunity to establish his mastery. As if he is a native speaker he would start to imitate a conversation in the TRAPPED MAN's language and continuously, if possible between every two words he speaks in the TRAPPED MAN's language, he would advertise the ability he has over multiple languages! The TRAPPED MAN will be staying in front of him appreciating the FLUENCY THIS PROFESSOR has over his language as he would be left with no choice but to appreciate the PROFESSOR! The PROFESSOR would keep on speaking in the TRAPPED MAN's language that the TRAPPED MAN would be feeling like vomiting! The TRAPPED MAN, while responding to the Professor, will even stammer in his mother tongue due to this nauseating language the PROFESSOR dishes out, non-stop, with self eulogy equally mixed! The TRAPPED MAN' will reach a point where he would happily forget his mother tongue & find solace in amnesia!
These professors litter every nook & corner of any big city in India! When we find these people on our way its better we somehow escape with our own life, at any cost, because once caught it’s the curtains for our mother tongue & sometimes our life! If some TRAPPED MAN ever tries to rectify the Professor or suggest what he is dishing out is not correct - in the mildest terms!- he would get hurt immediately & may even pose serious danger to the TRAPPED MAN, as he would be out of his home turf, when these professors catch him unawares! If he is tried to be rectified the Professor always feels insulted & would be in no mood to TOLERATE THE IMPOSTER IN HIS TERRITORY! We can't expect what would be the next thing the Professor does!
To these Professors even the governments are providing great facilities! It is heard that these Professors have asked the government to categorise them as underprivileged & reserve jobs for them! To this demand the government always responded that though at present what they have asked can’t be done -reservation, as most of the people in India are thinking how to make a hole & enter into the RESERVED AREA!- they have always been taken care of as a lot of jobs are already given to these Professors who GET A CERTIFICATE WHICH PROVE THAT THEY ARE PROFESSORS, in the government sector including Railways etc! And in India it’s anybody's guess how long it takes to GET A GOVERNMENT APPROVED CERTIFICATE! We all know what the government told the Professors is right - they are already taken care of by the all eager government!
While I was waiting to see off my long time friend Harry in the Delhi railway station, a couple of years ago, I perfectly understood that at the least in the case of the Professors the government is keeping their promise to the last word! When a train arrived on the platform number 10 there was an announcement in multiple languages about the train! I was happy that the person in the announcement box handles a number of languages FLUENTLY! As I was just thinking about all these people who speak multiple languages FLUENTLY as the native speakers do, I heard the announcement in another language. The moment the announcement finished Harry asked in which language it was in his stylish & accented mother tongue English, to which an embarrassed me was forced to say "ENGLISH!"
