The Legacy of Divide and Rule

 The Legacy of Divide and Rule: The legacy of divide and rule is evident in many regions that experienced colonial rule, where divisions between ethnic, religious, or political groups were intentionally deepened. These divisions often persist long after the colonial powers have left, leading to ongoing conflict, civil wars, or fractured societies. Even in modern politics, the principle of divide and rule is still used by some leaders who seek to maintain power by exploiting existing divisions within society. The challenge for future generations is to recognize these tactics and work toward healing the divides, promoting unity, and fostering cooperative relationships across all sectors of society.
