Leaders to lead us????

I opened around 16 windows of 16 different articles of Outlook india site. A habit I had cultivated prior to broadband era, when online time, not the amount of download was billed. One article which I found particularly interesting is about Urdu columnists in Pakistan who write without verifying any facts and write all kinds of conspiracy theories blaming US, India and Isreal. And the article also says that English versions of the same columns are saner and do not carry these lies.

Is a similar thing happening to local language press and books in India. I take the example of a kannada book where it seems he has explained the muslim plunders obviously exaggerating the facts. He is supposed to have quoted historical dates etc. So people think these are facts. And gives them another reason to hate muslims. Do we need such writers and media at this time when the world is already filled with so much violence. Isn't it a moral responsibility of writers and politicians to unite the people, rather than divide them? What are they achieving from such actions? Well, they will be successful in making the Hindus and Muslims hate each other. But why? Is their final aim to create a civil war in India. Politicians will get their votes from caste, religion, on the whole hate politics. But what about the writers? Aren't these people supposed to be intellectuals, whom common man looks up to lead him in correct path?

We have a saying in Kannada " Bereyavara makkala baavige talli, aala nodidarante ". For heaven's sake, don't do that!!
