Bad politics leads to sectarianism. Politicians often sow seeds of discord in a community. It becomes about 'us and them'. They play to people's fears. Suspicions are fuelled by those in power which leads communities to conflict. It later spreads to countries, across civilizations. We are humans after all. Caste and religion should not divide us, but should bring us together in the spirit of harmony. Only when we appreciate our differences can we prosper together.
