Hindu Anarchy Coming To India: Canto Ii- Two States Begin Fighting

Which is the easiest way to make two Indian states to fight? One is to throw power, language, water- Issues on their face. So you’ll have got two Dravid states Fighting eternally, O’er slight and petite things for decades Meaningless, mundane, So that your Aryan Empire in the North will have its way Of flourishing and bringing in caste and Sect-bred troops set free. Not one but multiple such issues Let loose on the south On the twin sister-states of Tamil Nadu And Kerala have worn Out sistership, brotherhood and good- Will among these two Peoples, and eroded their history Of a common past. Mullapperiyar Dam Water Issue, Imposing Hindi, And Koodankülam Atomic Power Plants are but a few, Devised by central government to Keep them warring on And smoth’ring each other instead of Pooling their resources. We will examine each and weigh how Hampered they progress, Before we’re onto the treachery of the Telengana State.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
