To define the diversity of India, poet and critic A. K. Ramanujan once cited the instance of what the Irishman had said about trousers. On the question of whether the trousers were singular or plural, he said, “Singular at the top and plural at the bottom”. Historian Sunil Khilnani, the well-known author of The Idea of India, disputes the view, saying Indian nationalism even before independence was plural at the top: “a dhoti with endless folds”. Given dhoti’s popularity as a pan-Indian traditional garment, the idea sounds remarkable as an emblematic projection of the country’s diversity. Since independence, a major concern in the nation-building exercise of New Delhi could be to keep hold of the dhoti, ostensibly a much looser wear than well-belted trousers.
His 1991 essay "Three Hundred
Ramayanas: Five Examples and Three Thoughts on Translations" courted
controversy over its inclusion in B.A. in History syllabus of University of Delhi in 2006. In this essay, he
wrote of the existence of many versions of Ramayana
and a few versions portrayed Rama and Sita as siblings, which contradicts the popular versions of
the Ramayana, such as those by Valmiki and Tulsidas
I just want to quote an example over here, when
the Telengana agitation was at its peaks; people broke the signboards of the
Andhra bank and destroyed the furniture of the same bank just because it is
bearing the name ‘Andhra’. We are immune to Royal bank of Scotland or Citi bank
but we are not able to tolerate the name of Andhra.
Have you ever asked anybody this question,
“Where are you from”? Well, the answer would be the obvious one, ‘I’m from this
state or from this place’; it is near to impossible to expect an answer ‘I am
from India’. Yeah, I do agree that we are not on some foreign land to give such
a weird answer. However, what I was trying to convey is we are suffering more
from regionalism over nationalism. North Indian people hate south Indians,
south Indian people look down at East Indian people, more funnily, and Most of
the East Indian fellows do not even know there is such thing called India
exists. I do not blame Brits for dividing and ruling us, coz, we were never
been united apart from that independence movement, thanks to Brits. We have
been fragmented from the times of kings and kingdoms to the times of states and
territories.
All the Indians will be
united only in two occasions,
1. When India
plays cricket with Pak and
2. When Pak
declares a war on India.
Following are the main reasons, which give rise to the
feeling of regionalism in politics:
1. Demand for separate
states.
2. Interstate disputes
among states.
3. Demand for autonomy
by some regional communities.
4. Feeling of
distinctions between North and South India.
5. Language controversy
and politics of language.
6. Discriminatory
treatment of States by the central government on political grounds.
7. Tendency of
separateness in the Union of India.
8. Emergence of
regional political parties and their preference for regional issues and
identities.
9. The role of neighbouring
countries in inciting regional feelings in certain parts of the country.
There
is a reason why Tagore had prayed, ‘God! Let my country awake where the world
has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls’, he had
foreseen the future. We have Bengalis, we have Tamilians, we have Marathis and
Marwadis, but we do not have Indians. That is the basic problem with Indians;
our blood has filled with regionalism over nationalism.
