Times of Indiareports that the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu M Karunanidhi has criticizes the use of tilak as a symbol of Hinduism. This on a historic day when racial, ethnic and religious barriers were broken in another part of the world.
For a country such as ours which has such a rich history and tradition, such immense diversity, which makes us the most unique country in the world, when are our politician's going to learn that trying to divide the country on religious lines and trying to appease your votebank will not work. The constitution of India grants every individual freedom of expression and freedom of religion be it a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian or a Sikh. For a person who is elected by the people to serve the people, Karunanidhi who has taken to uphold the constitution of India, should be the last person to criticize the freedom of expression.
But alas, with elections fast approaching may be he is trying to score some political points in his vote base. When will our politicians stop dividing us in the name of religion and when will our electorate learn to see through these bluffs and call their bluff just as America did yesterday.
