Violence and Religon - The same old mantra for all election campaigns.

Varun Gandhi said things he shouldn’t have. Now he is facing charges against the comments he made during the campaign. What is the point though? The comments have been made. Damage has been done. Further with the recent support the Ram Sena has garnered with its moral policing has only accelerated the communal sentiments. The cherry on top being the Mumbai attacks.
Instead of concentrating on issues relating to employment generation, education (go beyond reservations), population control, health, giving small scale industries a push, Agriculture-farmers etc… which are some of the basic concepts that our politicians fail to see. They are adamant on not going beyond religion and caste. All they want to play on is the sentiments of the general population (which pretty much borders on emotional black mail)
Where does the common man stand now? What does he do? We don’t need to send Muslims across the border to Pakistan. We as a country don’t need to do anything that remotely attaches itself to ethnic cleansing. We should probably send all our politicians on a one way trip to Kabristan. That’s where they belong.
