the regionalism debate

As said before one needs to be chauvinistic, divisive, exclusive and also to whip up emotions to enjoy front page status in every newspaper and newschannel. while almost every indian devotes time, resource, energy and his opinion to read, digest, watch, debate on this currently burning issue of regionalism. what of it ? telangana, marathi etc ... the sena's new chief would never have imagined to hog so much media limelight !! thanks to srk he is now front page news, few months ago it was 'udhaav-who' now its 'udhaav-everwhere'. its only a sign of how incompetent we as indians are that such people enjoy such liberties. its the sign of our times when now people justify every act which in unjust with a fact that chaltha hai yaar or well he has done so many good things !! and its also comfortable for a person to know that he is gauranteed a job just cause of him being from a particular state. are not the means important as the ends ? we talk about being vindicative to form our opinions, we talk about being assertive for our rights, we talk about being violent to fight for our rights .. but where in all this is the india which largely celebrates peace and harmony among its citizens, where is the india which celebrates gandhi jayanthi in remembrance of mahatma gandhi the proponent of non violence.

i am appalled by people, educated people .. sane and logical people supporting such causes. why do they do it ? some logical or rational reason ... ??? i really don't think so though they always and every time justify saying well these are my reasons and it makes sense to do so. but always and always its irrationality of emotions which plays a bigger part in such issues. and sometimes people justify the choices they make rather than reasoning out to make a choice. cause if they did so most of the times such arguments will fall flat on the ground !
its not surprising to see people say about bangalore being such a dirty place now that so many people from all over india are camping in that city ! (personally its a statement that makes me highly irritated!) well unfortunately the opposite side of the argument is that without these people bangalore wouldnt be the city it is today ! why dont political parties ask for regionalism based reservation in IIT's and IIM's ... cause without merit the very survival of 'regional people' is in limbo ! one of the arguments given by a person on national television was that i am taking care of my family. well if you want to do so improve the skills of your children , improve the facilities at your home .. dont drive out people or ask for reservation in jobs ! its like the argument given against the nano ... more cars on the street bad for infrastructure .. well utilize the funds from people to improve the facilities and not increasing your own bank balance and waistline ! i cringe at how soceity accepts and publicizes such people and their opinions and viewpoints ... well one does have the freedom to express an opinion but if some criminal says killing is justified , or if some terrorist organization justifies its acts saying its their freedom of expression .. ?? we need to understand that freedom comes at a cost and the cost should be acceptable to society ! they have the freedom to give their opinion but we as responsible citizens also have the freedom to support or not. and dont you think such opinions and divisive politics exist only due to support and acknowledgment of their ways by the people on the streets.
and well we can clearly see the politics being played out in the commercial capital, one party putting up signs at a building site of the opposite party sarcastically asking them to recruit regional people and sell the flats to only regional people ! well said but the party saying it is no less.
