Born polarised

Born as this nation was in 1947 , through polarisation, it is perhaps destined to live with it. That this ethos gets accentuated during elections should rather be seen in the context of the freedom of the minority to exercise its franchise to the extent of being acknowledged as a determinant factor. .And that can not be said for many other nations around us, that attained freedom from foreign rule around the same time but are still swayed by mono - ideological themes. In vying for due political space by leveraging caste or creed , aberrations will occur under a liberal democracy as ours, That said, leaders of the day ought always to toe the spirit of our constitution that protects the right to life and liberty of every citizen . More importantly they should be seen to carry through this onus , elections or not .
