I still can’t understand why every issue running in this country is linked somewhere to some religion or the other? Why can we run our govt without blaming one community and taking shelter in another?
A woman has been raped by few men; I think that it is offensive enough to take it in hands and punishing the culprits severely! Well… if you did see the papers the issue has gone beyond that, there is Hindus who raped a Catholic nun, and that has become a bigger problem than a woman in a free country being treated like that. The Media could have been a bit more focused on the issue rather than that of who did it and what made him do that.
Hell there was one heck of horny men trying to create problems, there idea is to create a problem but why is that the whole community getting pointed at for them becoming horny? Am helpless, not trying to defend those bastards but… they being a Hindu has nothing to do with the fact they were horny?! My point is, can’t we see anything as it is? A bunch of men raped women? Isn’t that quite common in the National Daily’s? If you read one, you would know of how many such cases do come up. Or is it legal to rape in the own community? I haven’t seen a Rape case become this big politically!!
Then there is this very famous issue on Ram Sethu Bridge! Why cant people leave him alone, he is long gone history. Is he a God or is he a human is not worth talking about NOW and definitely if he was already drunk or not is none of our f**king business!! None of us have seen him. None of us know of what and where he came from. We go with all the books and other things that are available which adds up to the term called FAITH, but dint any of our parents and schools teach us that it’s very cynical and cheap to mock at others faith?? Correct me if I am wrong, Isn’t the majority of the population living in India the Hindus? Is it our fault that we became the majority in terms of number and the others calling themselves a minority in numbers only has taken the word ‘minority’ to a different level? I don’t blame them, that is what they have been portrayed as! That’s exactly what they will pass on generation after generation!! God save our kids! Oh but then which God are we calling for help here?
Are you people telling me that the lives of the Majorities have been always rosy? How much have I’ve been mocked quite friendly by my own friends and very harshly by outsiders that I carry only “Curd Rice and Pickle” everyday to school or that the straight line in my scalp is unexplainable and is very important to have in our custom and why we wear those yellow threads even before we got married during certain poojas? Why are we kept alone while we have those days? Why are we always wearing that weird red or white powder daily on our forehead? And can you actually believe that when you say you are an Iyer you just can’t make any friends that easily in a Convent? You are imitated almost immediately for using language like “Ava Varuva” “Neenga Pongo” “Ennaku Theriyathey”!! It is almost scary to think that few people actually thought that I can do some magical tricks and was considered a witch for sometime just because I kept reciting some ‘Slokhas’ which they never understood! And why is that all the boys in our community wear that ugly thread around there shoulders and are very shy and timid to take there shirt off in public, every time he attempts to do so, he is laughed at for not having any six pack! you cant develop them by just eating curd rice and pickle! Can you???
Life is not easy when you start mocking people or question them on there FAITH and BELIEFS immaterial of whatever religion they belong to.
What does this entire thing called “Terrorism” has to do with Islamic people except for a fact that most of the names caught in are Islamic? Are you saying that there is no Terrorist in other communities? Yes I understand that it’s more there, but I have a slight itchy feeling that it was the media… it was the papers and selfish political leaders of certain community have made it look even bigger than it actually is!? I am reading people facing challenges handling day to day life because of these religious splits.
All I am asking the media is not to generalize, group and mock at the entire set of people just because there are few rotten ones in every place! It hurts and it hurts the entire system. Is it that difficult to see the problems in a better light without letting a issue develop into a communal or religious riot?
We have people burning and starving to death, we have a well educated IITian IB guy who killed himself and his family due to the economy going haywire? Is the Finance minister doing any thing to ascertain people who are panicked to death in the trading centers? Are we even worried about on how many people are going to lose there jobs and how many lives will come stand still? Is that worth talking? Is any effing authoritative political leader in this country worried about the increase in prices of every common item needed to lead a simple life? Or is it too boring it has no religious ties within?
At times I am forced to think that India would have been a much better place if it had only one Culture and one Community to handle with. Too many diversification and too little smart heads to actually manage it! When you say USA or any European Countries it’s all Catholics of different kinds, when you say Pakistan it’s all Islamic, but try saying India? What the hell are we? If some one says we are Indian, I will personally deliver a tight slap and a bunch of very abusive words. We should not be calling ourselves an Indian if we are not capable of handling basic issues like respecting other feelings more specific religious feelings!
We should not hold our heads up and say “Unity in Diversity” and all that horseshit. We have diversity; we DO NOT have unity in anything! Just because few people in the not so few community have behaved way too bad IT is not FAIR at all to judge, blame and punish the entire crowd. India will never become a better place to live in until we learn to sort out issues as they are without taking cushion and resting on the respective ‘Religion’, majorly because WE Indians are Born with Diversification written all over our blood unless we use our head, there is no way out!
