The common man in India feels patriotic during two occasions. Whenever there is a cricket match, we always our country to win. Even though, international sports activities are to bring nations together, still we nurture a desire to see the victory of our country’s team. Also when there is a security threat to the nation, people forget all differences and come together as Indians under one flag. We miserably fail to continue this spirit once the tension of war situation loosens or the winners’ cup is declared for the cricket match. The reason for this disintegration as the fire goes off, is that there exists a lot of wedges between Indians in the names of religion, caste, states, culture customs etc. In our democratic system, our politicians, whom we elect as our representatives, do not have the capability to improve our social system and proceed towards continuous improvement. Therefore these leaders play petty political dramas exploiting the Indian diversity in order to make their thrones secure. This is achieved by creating vote banks out of a particular religion, caste or creed. After elections, the common man witnesses the leaders of opposing vote-banks embracing in public so as to share the power. Vote bank episode of politicians ends there. But the vengeance of the pre-election fight, still remains in the heart of common man and acts as wedge during his daily life. Kauveri river water issue between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, Bihar-Maharashtra issue in Mumbai, Mullaperyar issue between Kerala and Tamil Nadu are typical examples for simple problems which could have been easily solved through administrational procedures rather than, making Indians fight under the names of two Indian States. Similarly it can be noted that, so many communal issues have sprang up, which created significant vote bank, but till date there is neither a solution to such problem, nor the unsolved problem do not at all have any effect on the life of common man.
