Is Delhi becoming racist ?

While making the remark yesterday, a division bench exclaimed "I don't know what has happened to the city". There precisely lies the root of the problem. First, which Delhi are we talking about as there are many Delhis. Are the stray incidents restricted to only South Delhi? Only Sociologist can answer. But have they been consulted? The Indian Institute of Social Science Research seems to be engaged on more valuable projects while the "sociological pollution" in the country has risen grossly, not to talk of Delhi alone. At least in Mumbai or Kolkata or Lucknow, the residents call it "My City"; but do the South Delhiites do so? Nobody seems to treat the city as My City (a social disorder). In fact, racist, casteist, ethnicist etc are used as synonyms. The damage these obsessions cause in recruitment and promotions, including the judiciary, are so subtle that many public servants realize their power to do favours and/or disfavours very late in their careers. Many of the crimes flow from a totally disoriented society surviving in a social vacuum: what is right and what is wrong, nobody knows. The loud thinking of the DB validates this Sociological hypothesis. It is a city where the chief minister has no constitutional propriety in calling the prime minister of India "coward/psychopath" and seeks lessons in constitutional understanding from the court. The verdict is awaited. Meanwhile, such public conduct sets wrong precedents resulting in oral violence converting easily into physical violence as proved by attacks on the students from friendly countries in Africa. On another plane, these attacks are in the chain of events starting from the Award Wapasi agitations as they were engineered on the same day the Prime Minister was celebrating two very successful years in office and the end of corruption in government, surrendering of LPG subsidy by millions of Indians voluntarily and banking the unbanked millions besides extending insurance coverage to millions of poor Indians. To what low levels politics in India can go is proved by spinning less than 3 incidents as "attack on Africans" to spoil India's relations with African countries ?
