Jat-Muslim combine in Haryana

As much as Congress meant corruption, BJP means 'bhai chara bigado'. The latter has to aggravate social tensions in the Indian society. India's has been a highly segregated society. The caste system created a highly compartmentalized society, so much so that the exploitation of the lower castes passes off as a God-ordained system of lower and higher karma. India is at least half a century away from a casteless society. It will not be possible before that to rid Indian society from this ancient scourge. Simply because democracy here and the political parties set up on caste and communal lines need the system of discrimination to survive ad excel in politics. The BJP thrives on polarization, the oldest mantra with rulers. They divide along any line of separation visible. Like in UP, where it is Muslims and Hindus, in Haryana they have smartly allowed Hindu society to be divided as Jats and nonjats. They are eyeing 74% of nonjats. February last year the govt didn't do anything to stop Jats from destroying properties of nonjats. They wanted a violent episode, an episode of loss of life and property and most importantly Bhai chara, to keep the fire of divisiveness among Jats and nonjats burning. Jats have now literally become Hindu-Muslims of Haryana, almost hated by nonjats enblock. BJP's shock tactics of dividing society means at least I am far more moderate than earlier. With corruption Congress tainted the very soul of Indian democracy. Let's see where polarizing forces let loose by BJP take us. It can be far more lethal for Indian society. One more thing, Jats may find bonhomie with Muslims of Southern Haryana. Both have there own set of real and imaginary woes against BJP. It will take the total Jat-Muslim combine above 30%, a formidable force. The politics of pupulistic rhetoric, BJP's trademark, may not find many takers in Haryana because the most suitable section culpable to be swayed by sentimental rhetoric, the Jats, given their ever-on-the edge temperament and raw attitude, is feeling left out in the opposite corner in BJP's scheme of polarization.
