The jackals are singing their own song..........

                                A long time ago when, our country was not independent, it was divided into many small kingdoms, provinces and states. They were all self dependent, having their own laws, customs, traditions, cultures, languages etc. They were not bothered about what's happening in the neighboring country. What was legal in one country was sometimes considered as illegal in another. 
                                The kings and Nawabs indulged in drinking and living a lavish life. They never bothered about their people. Then came the British. They knew about their weaknesses. They took advantage of this and supplied them with wealth and drinks, and using the divide and rule policy, slowly captured their states. They started ruling our country. 
                                But they did not lasted long. Our freedom fighters rose from their sleep, and after a long struggle, we got Independence. Then a campaign was started to merge all these princely states and other territories under one big nation, India, having a unique constitution, law and equal rights for all its citizens. 
                                I think, this system of separate nation, prevalent in the Pre-Independent era, is still alive among us. That's the reason, why people are still fighting for separate states.They want to divide this country according to castes, languages and religions. What is this ?....... Are we going back to those olden days ?........... Some are fighting for Telangana state, some fighting for bodoland........!!
                               Today every person is singing his own song. We consider ourselves A Hindu,  A Muslim,  A Christian, A Jain, A Buddhist, A Bihari, Marathi, Marwadi, Bengali,  Tamil,  Malayali,  Kashmiri,  Punjabi.............well, the list is endless. But do we consider ourselves as an Indian. 
                               If it goes on like this, then the day would not be far off when indeed we would become a collection of nation and states as some regional anti-national politicians want.
