Secularism and Democracy

The words mentioned in the title are ones that seemed to be losing out on their santity these days,especially in India. we are supposed to be one of the best tolerant nations in the world.That is what makes the present situation a greater irony. I am referring to the ongoing unrest between Tamil nadu and Karnataka.
The issue:Ogaenakal Plant
Beneficiaries: The Politicians
Sufferers: The general folk.
The tamilians in Karnataka and the kannadicas in Tamil nadu are living in constant peril.I being one of the victims constantly feel the insecurity. This seems to be the situation each time there is a political issue between the two states.
>Is this what we are showcasing to the world as best secularism and democracy?
>Even if politician are playing the popular game of divide and rule, aren't we citizens smart enough to decipher truth from lie...
Questions are millions in number, but who is answering...A sad state of things:(
