  1. The Divide and Rule is the basis of Indian politics since ancient times. Our leaders know how to mislead and keep the people in dark about real issues and problems. At present the government is finding it very difficult to control the menace of rising prices of essential commodities. So they need to divert the attention of the people . The politics of INTOLERANCE may prove to be big diverter. So the emphasis is on this issue. More over the division of people on communal lines may benefit some of the political parties.
