Jaya Verdict – Dangerous trend of Vendetta Politics!!
In the last 3+ yrs, south Indians have been shocked by the sheer ruthlessness & vengeful attacks by North Indian Media & politicians. In the name of anti corruption, they have gone after one south politician after another - Shashi Tharoor, Suresh Kalmadi, Gali Reddy Brothers, Kanimozhi, Raja,Yeddyurappa, Maran brothers, Jagan Reddy, N Srinivasan (BCCI) & nowJayalalithaa.
Bail hearings are delayed, deliberately denied for 1 to 2 yrs, whether in the case of Jagan, Kalmadi, Kanimozhi, Raja or Yeddyurappa. Supreme Court intervened pro-actively, dethroned N Srinivasan & ensured he does not come back as BCCI Chief.
I am yet to see a North Indian politician or anyone for that matter taken apart in the media for any of the corruption cases!!
None will object if the agenda is to clean up corruption in politics, however when it is applied selectively only to south indians then we have a huge problem.
Congress started this trend & now the new dispensation under BJP has followed suit. Apart from this, there is a dangerous trend to sideline the regional satraps like Jaya, Uddhav & Mamata etc.
So why are the South Indians alone being targeted with such vengeance? . My view is there has always been a huge divide between South& North historically.
South was ruled by the SriVijaya Empire (Vijayanagar) fora very long time & hence has remained isolated in history. This divide became worse after the independence from the British, where the south states came under the federal structure under Delhi.
Apart from this, the recent huge immigration of North Indians to South has contributed to more conflicts, & ill will. North Indians feel they are not well received or not treated well by South Indians & this was also echoed by the North Politicians. Since the North Indians politicians control all the key institutions, they have started targeting the south leaders one by one.
This is a very dangerous trend as it will lead to massive south consolidation & retaliation further creating a huge wedge. Tamil diaspora is spread across the entire world, they will now start retaliating.
In short, the new dispensation which came on the positive premise of “development for all” has many other agendas & unfortunately these have taken prominence after the elections!
