India is a country of 1.2
million population in it. It is the
place where 4 major religions in the world took birth-Hinduism, Jainism,
Buddism and sikkhism. Rather than these
india also facilitated the ancient Islamism and Christianity. Not only in religions but in every string we
can find the diversity even in yoga, fine arts, cuisines etc. There by we say india is a multilingual,
multireligious and pluralistic society.
Even with So many diverisities in our country we are rather at a glee to
declare india as an Incredible for its Unity Still!
Its, however, a pity that
from past few years the communal clashes and terrorism are paving their own way
cutting between us. These all us
indicate that people are forgetting our country’s true ancient culture. India never had a war with any country on its
own uninvited. Religions has been a
great dividing force presently. 2002
riots and 1992 babri riots are the ardent examples of growing communal riots in
the country. Even Still there is the
clash in between muslims and hindu’s whether to pass the cow-protection bill or
not. During 1966, there held a agitation
on how one can kill the being which is as sacred as mother for hindu’s. At the time of Prime minister Indira Gandhi Didn’t
accept the demand for ban on the cow slaughtering as in a fear of drastic fall
of muslim votes. The police then fired
on peaceful rally killing many sandhu’s.
So from the above incident one can get a clear perception of the main
cause of the communal riots. A deeper
analysis of the factors of these conflicts show that in all these situations
non religions, often political and economic interests were instrumental to these
problems. Only the religious identitiy
was used as mask to cover up and to satisfy the evil deeds. Especially in our country the governments are
playing hide and seek with the people of different communities to come into
power. Press which is considered as the
fourth pillar in our constitution and
most part of the media is just acting as maiden servant under the hands of the
politicians by making all facts blurry. Regionalism
also raises its ugly head at times and divides the interest against people of
other region.
"The
world is my country.
All mankind are my brethren
And to do good is my religion." - M.K.Gandhi
The Gandhi philosophy is
again in a need to re-educate the people of India. The
task of curing india of all these differences is not so difficult and only the
enlightenment is only the tool to be used.
These differences in region, religion, caste can get inhibited by intimating
the people that the whole world got itself divided into haves and have-nots and
nothing else. So all these differences
were just like mirages created by influential ones to just satisfy their
interests. For prevention of all these
communal clashes require alertness and immediate and immediate response from law
and order administration. Even the press
also should act as non-partial element to curb all the differences between the
people. Every citizen of a country
should keep an eye on the government and government servants. Everyone should get updated of newly passed
bills, amendments and acts. The Right to
Information Act should be properly utilized by all the citizens so that it acts
as an antidote to fresh illegal affairs that would create the disturbances in
the society. Over a huge population of
450 million youth are there in our country, they all should be guided to work
for a noble cause under the suggestions & leadership of successful one’s like A.P.J.Abdul Kalam and many more such
people. I conclude saying that hope if
above all the things were implemented it enhances our country’s strength in all the
directions of the world.
It is, however, a pity that in recent years the communal clashes, the increasing evidence of intolerance and disharmony, apparently endless discord, the open clashes at public meetings, and the all too frequent denunciation of each other have increased so much as it indicate that the people are forgetting their true culture, and are allowing themselves to exploited by selfish, uncultured people who seek to disrupt and destroy rather than build and consolidate.
