Are we on a path of National Disintegration?

A taxi driver passing through a busy dadar street is clogged and been queried about his inhabitant. The moment he says I am from North India, he is dragged down, beaten and his taxi is dismantled.
People from UP, Bihar, MP are called bhaiyas and seen as not very well-cultured.
Why so many baseless charges against them? Have you ever seen any problem like this in any of the north Indian state? A lot of Bengalis, Marathi’s, south Indians live in north India, have they every felt such discrimination? Perhaps I can’t reminisce a single incidence of such type then why vica-versa is there.
I think we are fortunate as for past 50 years we have only seen riots due to community and caste differences but now we are on the threshold of seeing the same due to regional differences and that too in the heart of India...Mumbai.
Big question is why time and again these sorts of things take place? Answer lies in the heart of so called faithful politicians of this gigantic country. If we turn around the pages of history then we can figure it out that riots majorly take place due to irresponsible behavior and speeches of our politicians in order to achieve personal milestones. Be it 1948 when Hindu-Muslim riots broke out due to prime ministerial ambitions of two great leaders, 1984 anti-Sikh riots triggered by congress leaders, 2002 Godhra riots by Narendra Modi and latest what we see in Mumbai due to outspoken Thackrey brothers.
It’s not only that politicians are to be blamed, I think media should also be held equally responsible. Gone are the days when news were informative, now a days they are presented like a daily soap of Ekta kapoor whose ultimate aim is to be on top charts of TRP.
Last but not the least we the poignant Indian public also looses our control and get provoked very easily. The biggest dilemma lies with the mindset of people of this country, India is a nation of fickle minded mob and it can be incited very easily and our politicians often take advantage of this fact very intelligently. And once it is mobilized no constitution, government, army can bring it to a halt and by the time its stops a despicable history has already been produced.

These all states ,we are loosing our track on our unity,where india is a 'United Nation' rather than different religion,language,etc.something should happen to make all realize that we are human beings(mankind) and ofcourse 'INDIANS'.
