Has anyone ever scratched their heads and thought that why are there so many communal differences in the people of India.
Hindus, Muslims, Sikh, Christians , Parsis , are all products of the same one, and not different from each other. Each of them have their own superhero with their own personal values. So then why are there so many disputes between religious communities over Gods and beliefs. Each one believes in their own superhero and follows the value of those.
The irony of all this is that all the values taught are the same, just preached in a different manner by the followers of their own hero.
So why is there so much communal violence , fights , riots over building temples and mosques?? Why should anyone be forced to follow a particular religion, when they have the right to follow, whichever religion they want? The day people have answers to these questions, that is the day when India will actually be called a developed nation, a nation which every country will look up to with pride and honour.
Evading religious barriers between the people of India will bring prosperiety and unity among the nation and its people.
When I was in school, no one dared to tell me that I should like Superman more than Batman, because the latter was stronger. I had made my choice, I had my belief in the superhero I chose, so why the hell can anyone force me to follow Hinduism, Buddhism, or to be a Muslim or a Sikh, I live my own life, and have my learnt my values bit by bit from each one the superheroes and will continue to learn.
It’s a crime to force someone to follow a particular religion, how dare can one person, decide the fate of thousands, let the individuals decide who they believe in and not be forced upon by some priest, maulvi, pandit or anyone for that matter of fact.
If you see the facts and past of India, you will see that millions of people have died, lost their houses, lost their family members, mentally and physically devastated, loss of mass property, WHY ?
The answer is difference in beliefs and values, showing that one particular religion is superior than the other or maybe someone probably said something in their language and the other people of another religion took it as an abuse and created a riot out of it.
People of India are the most superstitious in the world, nothing wrong with that , but when this superstition comes in way , religions get affected and pin pointed at one another for the ill happenings and blame one another’s superhero for the doing, and hence indulge in mass killing, looting, destruction, slaughtering people of other religions like animals.
I think its time for people of India to stand up for their own belief, have the right to follow any religion they want, and stop these nonsensical arguments over temples and mosques being destroyed and created. Forget the past, live in the present, and think about the future. Build new temples and mosques in the country, why cry over the ones which do not exist anymore and kill more and more people over the fate of something that does not exist anymore.
Terrorism in my sense is just another form of communal violence, which is at a much more destructible level than anything else. It prevails because of religion and differences in religion and nothing else. Terrorism today has shook the world and divided it into small affected parts of its doing. The recent attacks in Mumbai has shown us the level at which the terrorists have gone till, WHY ? WHY ? :::::: ITS ALL ABOUT RELIGION AND THEIR SUPERHEROES!
I think its time that people wake up from this horrifying nightmare and start afresh, in a place of peace, harmony and cooperation.
Let us together change the fate of India and not India itself into a battlefield, where in the river of the pure Ganga, will flow the blood of thousand innocents and at the peak of our Himalayas, lie the bodies of those who fought for protecting every common man like me and you, because of which this whole cycle of terrorism and religion prevails in the beautiful heaven created by only one Superhero, who has been divided into a million parts, because of the greed for power and superiority of the people.
To end it, I would only say one thing,
*DON’T FOLLOW A PARTICULAR RELIGION, BUT FOLLOW ALL, LEARN THE GOOD VALUES FROM EACH ONE, AND THEN SEE HOW YOUR LIFE WILL EVOLVE INTO BLISS WHEN THE GOOD QUALITIES OF ALL RELIGIONS WILL COME INTO YOU. THAT ONE WILL TAKE YOU ON THE TRUE PATH OF LIFE. HELP YOU ATTAIN NIRVANA, AND SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE!
