The trend finds sustenance through pan-India propagation of divisive activities and is manifested by internecine societal violence of organised as well as instantaneous kind. The disturbing part is that success of most such invaders came withconsiderable passive and active help from the divisive and short-sighted native rulers and their blind subjects.ĭismay among the strategic fraternity is affirmed by a recent rise in rumbustious divisiveness in India’s internal politics. Foreign powers had thus been tempted to colonise the sub-continent, rich as it was in the nature’s endowments. In fact, political divisiveness has often overridden the hoary tradition of pan-India societal integration to weaken the collective power of Indian States.
That however, does not prevent the rise of dismay among the military, and of course the larger civilian strategic fraternity when they find that political divisiveness had been at the core of our thousand years plus of subjugation at the hands of invading powers. Profession of arms does not leave much time for experimenting with history or social sciences. “ What perturbs me greatly is the fact that not only India has once before lost her independence, but she lost it by the infidelity and treachery of some of her own people.” – Debate in Constituent Assembly, November 1949.
