With the advent of Modi, people who earlier had moderate views have suddenly turned into fierce nationalists. People have started defending their religion with an ardent zeal and not just defending, proclaiming how theirs is the world's greatest religion. Is this all necessary? Isn't religion made for man, than being the opposite? How does a particular religion's superiority give anyone access and right to malign other religious doctrines? This is denouncing history. And, plain stupid if people think only their race is superior and hence reserves the right to inhabit a particular city or country. Highly illogical information perpetrated through half-read wikipedia pages. Why don't people who are up for an argument on religion and fundamentalism actually read "proofs" and theories that have been proved, verified and accepted by scholars worldwide. If one wants to limit themselves to some nationalist's version of events, his area of understanding would be stunted and he would never get to know the core of religion and way of life intertwined between each other.
Some go as far as to say, they only care about their people, not the city in whole. This means that such a lot is anti-social. How do we deal with such masses where penetration of education shows no considerable change in their mindsets, with them still sticking to their old oral histories and often heard-not verified stories? Religious bigotry is on an all time high with young minds getting corrupted through false propaganda by right wing groups. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar said that, 'They cannot make history who forget history', we seem to have come to an era of denying history and learning lessons from it. He also said that, 'Religion instils hope in man and drives him to activity.' Sadly, no one wants to explore this aspect of religion.
Do we absolutely have no morals left that we have ceased thinking for anyone else besides our own selves?
