[Reader-list] Count Dracula and political conflict

[Inder Salim]

Dear all

Transylvania is also often associated with
*Dracul<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula>

Recently i met an artist named Nemere from this Region in Japan . Then he
described his identity. He had deep grudge against Romania, his country
because he believed that the entire region is dominated politically and
economically by Romanian majority population.  His one of the performance
was  rubbing  the official report of the Govt on the road which showed
flawed figures to claim control over Transsylvnia.

There is very interesting history of this region, just click to read

I was wondering about the areas in the world which are simmering with
discontent. Yugoslavia was once a peaceful area , but it experienced the
worst recently, and still most of its population are not sure about their
locations with regard to their identity. In any case most of the serbs look
similar to  Slovenes and Croats. Religious identity was discovered sooner
and devastated the entire regions with a whole sale hate between all.

There is a literary a Dracula in Kashmir these days, and is devouring people
in scores. Even if Kashmiri Dracula would transform into literature, the
history of it would remain like Transylvania's unless there is some change
in staus quo...

I believe it is just a matter of time before the so called peaceful society
of a regions turns violent, since there is a imposed history in each case. .
Who knows when my artist friend from Romania turns into a stone pelter

with love
