First it was a small minority of Maharashtrians who showed that they had it in for the migrants from the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Later a West Bengal minister was heard making similar noises aimed at migrants from Rajasthan, especially Marwaris residing in that state.

God forbid, but if this trend continues and spreads throughout India coupled with the various seperatist movements already in place in various states, especially in the North (Kashmir) and the Northeast and the now dormant Khalistani movement in the Punjab as also the the North-South divide that came out so openly during the Ramsethu controversy, is this the nascence of the unravelling of India as we have known it since the advent of the British Raj. Is Churchill going to have the last laugh from beyond the grave after all?

This brings me to one simple question which is: Are the Hindus one nation per se or are they only one nation vis a vis Muslim Pakistan and Bangladesh and the Muslim minority within India's borders?
