    I am taking up the topic that is making headlines the past few days .. months... and offlate the hot topic and headlines in the newspapers and media.


    its really sickening and irritating to see people talking nonsense about being a hindu or a muslim or a christian... one person is talking that christians are not being targetted by militants where as hindus are. Those who are beliving in Hinduism have started speaking as rubbish at their fellow citizen of other beliefs.It's as good as creating a situation that every muslim belives that who ever is not a muslim can not be trustworthy.

    This great country India has been surviving a lot of cutural and political invasion yet have stood strong as one as people had mutual respect and belief.
    The hindus cannot stop having mughal dum biriyani or moghalai specialities in hotels, and get fattened up to talk the anti moslem slogans. The muslims design beautiful dresses for many a people who are not their religion have not thought of the religious background of the person who gives them a business.
    While a person chooses his or her belief there is no one to question or force them to change to another belief and there is nothing harm or bad in it. Targeting a group of people and converting them to some religion or caste or creed with the dress they wear and food they eat is absolutely ridiculous.
    The moghal kings who have not supported or who had been against other religions have been rememebered for their religion based atrocities inspite of their great governance skills. Unfortunately in a country like india, any other religion other than hinduism is not the majortiy and its not their fault that they do not have a majority crowd. When certain relgion based groups are using that as s reason to create insecurity in the minds of people, the only way of the fellow hindu men should be to ensure their safety , security and integrity towards the nation..


    Our ancestors had been more orthodox than us....be it whatever their religion is, they stuck to their practises... yet they had lived as one nation for lots of centuries. Our identity as a nation comes from coexistence of multiple languages and cultures and beliefs. India stays as a great wonder for other countries with its highly diversifies cultures co existing as one nation. we have got away from the clutches of english colonialism but got in to the clutches of our own beliefs and cultures by pushing ourselves in to the bonds of narrow minded thoughts.


    The history sees a lot of fights and wards inbetween saivists and vaishnavists and both have been combined together as hinduism now. aghoris, the worshippers of bhairava called kalabhairavas and there are many other unnames groups that are in itself cotroversial in hinduism. the current set of people with the saffron flag continue to pick up references from epics uoanishads and slokas to make people belive that every other finding, discovery and practice originated from them! Its as foolish as the belief of the other religion stating that their god alone created the entire world and he doesnt believe in other religions...
    With passage of time, saivism and vainavism were recognised as two parts of same religion where as it was considered different religions in the past.The same thing happen with all world religions with passage of time.. just by hating other beliefs and trying to minimize the crowd with the other kind of belief is mere foolishness.


    All religions mention the same, that god is righteous and kind. When we all turn toward being righteous and uninterfering and compassionate we all would unite at one point and it the world would have a divine peace.. Lets think of our actions that can bring out a positive change in the world and make it a better place.

    What makes the rainbow beautiful is that it has multiple colors. All the colors form a uniform shape and exist as a rainbow. There is no one who doesn't admire the rainbow. We are a beautiful rainbow and lets not spoil the beauty in it. Lets stop talking rubbish or let others talk rubbish.. after all we are all one kind.. mankind... and we all live in one planet.

    Dear Sarajara,

    A very timely snippet considering all happenings all around the world. Ridiculing others in the name of a religion or because of the religion they practice is ignorance. Many countries around the world look up to India as an example of a melting pot. Their culture, tradition and tolerance and respect for other religions are role models for others to follow. Expressing sentiments otherwise is shaking the premises under which India is built, destroying the culture and disrespecting the nation.

    It is the diversity by religion, by language, by culture and by tradition that gives the best flavor to a nation that has been respected for years as the spiritual leader of the world. The country has appreciated the best values of the occupying kingdoms, raised voice against atrocities committed on minority religions with the attitude of the universal brotherhood and stood together to defend the nation.

    On a day to day life, people are not divided by their religious beliefs. There are hundreds of examples for devoted believers to have saved the lives of people of other religions when organized crimes were committed against one religion be it what happened in New Delhi as aftermath of the assassination of a PM, Mumbai as aftermath of the terrorist attacks in 1993 and in Gujarat as aftermath of the Godra incident.

    This unity already exists and all it takes to promote this is to leave the people alone.

    Very well said Sarajara. The ugly head of fanaticism is making its presence felt in all religions, even in those which once upon a time prided themselves for their tolerance.
