Let me try to sound as simple as possible. I am not advocating any Indian political party here, but certainly advocating an ideology, of togetherness, love and co-existence.
You reap what you sow
If I could rephrase it as, what we sow today is what our children will reap tomorrow. So, in whose hand you see your child future flourishing? Those who divide us in the name of caste and religion, or those who unite?
But the question arises, aren’t right-wing organizations correct at targetting minorities who sowed hate and hijacked their religion?
As an individual, we all have the right to judge other. So, do judge based on your personal experience with an individual. Those with whom you have worked, traveled, transacted, eaten. Did you ever feel the slightest difference in how they and you react to things?
Yes, we all have bad experiences. But would it be fair to judge the whole community based on the bad experience with one man? Don’t we all regret some of our own actions & wish that we could have behaved better? It’s our very human tendency and not at all related to caste and religion we belong to.
Hijacking our religion?
Well, give me a break! Muslims ruled India for 700 years. How come muslims are still a minority in India? We have buddhist in India since Gautam Buddha. When did they turn into majority?
What about the conversion related to love affairs?
Yes, I see it happening, but on both the side. I have seen hindu turning muslim, as well as muslim turning hindu for their love. These rebellious love birds only see victory for their relationship, and religion is secondary for them at that moment.
Never ever in my life, any of my clerics instructed me to go out hunting women from other religion. They always guided me to keep my gaze lower, irrespective of the religion of women in front.
The worse thing is, right-wing is spreading hate with agenda like love jihad which even muslims never ever encouraged or promoted. By spreading this propaganda, they are running campaigns targeting faith of other minorities, and positioning it as a legitimate move. Shame!
Divide or Unite?
They divide us in the name of our religion, just because it works. We do react to it. Don’t we?
If spreading hate works for them, which is easy, why would one work hard for development, building national assets, for uniting people.
Let us not react to hate anymore and hit where it hurts.
- Don’t vote for a candidate who provokes in the name of religion.
- Unfollow them on social media.
- Write and talk about their wrong doings, even if they favour your religion on the face.
- Choose Swaraj Democracy for which our forefathers have sacrified there lives.
Because:
“Whose hand would you trust for the future of your kids. Those who divide in the name of caste and religion, or those who collaborate us into one society and nation?”
Up vote unity. Up vote love. This is what we are. This is what India is. This is what will win, ultimately!
