How to divide society!!

Pankaj Vohra in his article (HT, 29 May 2006) - "Go back to start" - writes:
"Communal and caste politics are two sides of the same coin and politically, both serve an equally divisive objective. For the UPA, which has managed to carry forward the secular agenda, it was unnecessary to bring in a caste-based issue, especially when everything was running smoothly. This period should have been ideally used to create more infrastructure and make available to the weaker and backward sections educational facilities both at the primary and secondary levels in order to prepare them for higher education. There is no dispute that the country needs to include in its development strategy a well-conceived plan to provide education to all sections of society. The focus should be on building infrastructure rather than taking credit for something that is aimed at getting the support of some sections of society at the expense of loosing support of sections already with the government."
