JDU snaps 17 years old ties with BJP: Pseudo-Secularism or Communal-ism?

What was the reason behind this most speculated break-up between JDU and BJP?? Whether it is ideological dissent or opportunistic move seems as a "doosara ball" for political scholars but eventually discloses the very character of current trends of Indian politics. Indian politics has been evolved through many phases before and after the independence and seen many ideological battles and opportunistic moves by Indian politician or leaders which eventually extended and redefined the course of Indian politics. Jinnah, once was a congress leader and known for his secular image had transformed himself into one of the fierce leader of communal-ism and ended with a new country Pakistan is a great example in Indian context that shows how ideology changes into opportunistic moves and portrays the character of modern era Indian political leader whose prime desire to get power. Our preamble and constitution state that we are secular country and there is no space for communal-ism, every religion has equal status under the law of land but in the reality our country and countrymen have been witnessed pseudo-secularism, the mask of communal-ism in many form and from almost all political parties, only differ in intensity and extent of its approach and establishment. 

Very sad to say, Indian politics has been changed from ideological base to pseudo-secularism or communal base and been scattered around two poles. Muslim community became a soft target for all political parties for their mutual benefits and has been mostly exploited by these so called secular political parties. Recent events show that the most secular party of country seems to be most communal party of country who is imparting hatred feelings and fear among its own countrymen in the name of pseudo-secularism for their self-oriented interests-benefits & goal and has made a trend called pseudo-secularism for other political parties to follow it. Now there is race among political parties for pseudo-secularism and every party is trying to prove itself as most secular party for attracting Muslim vote bank. In my opinion, current trends in Indian politics are fading soul of our well-deserved, earned political independence  after 200 years long battle with British regime ( who entrenched communal-ism into our political system) and also dividing our well-knitted Society into fraction of groups. Bi-polar situation in political arena of  Indian politics is one of the consequences of pseudo-secularism and creating great challenge for our integrity and sovereignty. Now, it is time for our countrymen to accept or reject pseudo secularism and to set a course for Future politics of India.
