Both Congress and the BJP are responsible for the emerging regional politics. Mr. Shourie has put this great threat in a good way but all will say he is wrong. This is also true. India was never a united nation but ruled by local Kings and Queens. Fight for independence brought all together and this 'Ram rajya' illusion after independence has gone towards hallucination now because the national parties have miserably failed. The people BPL have gone up along with illiteracy rate. The national parties are more towards wooing the middle and upper class by reducing auto and housing loans. What about the millions of poor Indians? Aam Admi is the sufferer and those days are not far off when the 'have not's start snatching things from the 'haves' on the roads. The local parties and regional leaders play to the moods of the locals and the regional feelings which may split nation into different provinces. US with such a strong military had to hear to TEXAS State which said 'it wants to separate from USA'. The other aspect is we are sending MP's with just 20 to 30% of the popular votes when only 40 to 50% votes. So they go to parliament with a huge opposition in their own territory. So no MP in India has got the guts to walk in public without security whereas the so called dictator Field Castro could mingle with the public without security. Any public could have killed the dictator Castro but they had respect for him because he showed the world that there is a patch of land 'CUBA'.
