Unity in Diversity a BIG Question Mark?

Honestly speaking I am literally fed up of going around the World and saying. Well this is my India, We are United even though we are a Diversified...

Not that I am not Proud of India... Not that I want to portray something bad... but it hurts... it hurts to see, hear and read about facts and people around the World talking crap about India. Feels like ... (ok no violence here)

Bottom Line it hurts, bring tears and pains a lot

How united are we?
No one including me has an answer to this. We keep beating the drum, everyone, including all the biggies, people from the entertainment industry, all people living abroad, well I mean every individual... goes around beating the drum "Hum Sab Ek Hai!!" (We all are one or united).

Why do we keep fooling ourselves? India has a Golden as well as a devastating history, where at one point it was called the "Sone ki Chidia" (Bird of Gold) and at the other, where many a clans sought the opportunity to invade at relieve India of all its treasures, natural, physical and human.

The British, I suppose were the smartest, they were the ones who caught the nerves of India. They exactly knew what the problem with India was, or what was to their advantage. Yes the huge amount of Diversity, and yes of course and more Diversity in already existing Diversity. Yes and that's correct again back to thinking.

People always thought, and still are thinking, lets expose our Diversity and keep beating the Drums of Unity.

But then think again, what are we exposing, we always have been exposing our Weakest point. That is our Diversity and our Complete inability to keep it together. We fight over State borders, fight over river waters, fight over religion, language, cast and creed. We want different states, based on language, Caste and Sub caste and what not... We want all kinds of restrictions, reservations...

What we dont want to do is...
  • Fight Crime... our country has one of the highest crime rating
  • Fight Child Labor...
  • Fight the system of not providing education... not even the basic education
  • Fight against Corruption... no matter what the religion, color or creed a person is or what language is spoken.. a corrupt person is a CORRUPT PERSON. Understands only one language MONEY.
  • Fight against female infanticide
  • Fight the notorious "Outsiders" who go on blabbering about us.. with no evidence
  • The list goes on and on...
However what we eagerly want to do is...
  • Fight amongst ourselves, beat are very own people and yes allow ... every one who knows the trick to break into our Diversity for their own benefit.
I may not have traveled the entire world, but yes I have gone to parts of the world that have given me a very clear picture of what people outside our country think about us. Believe me its not good what they think of us. No one and absolutely no one thinks that we are UNITED at all...

These are the things that give way to "Outsiders" to start THINKING, how they can penetrate into the cracks created by our very own people.
