UNITIY IN
DIVERSITY- INDIA
Indian socio religious status was one of the best in
the world as it tolerated the presence of different religious groups all over
India. Of late this status of religious
unity is being exploited by few politicians to gain their own ends.
The faith in God is a personal right and he/she can
adopt any faith he/she likes. The parental care and support will naturally
prompt the descendants to continue in the same faith. But fundamentally the
human beings are one and the same, and hence there cannot be any discrimination
on this account.
Unity in Diversity was our watchword and we could
win over the foreign rulers only due to our united efforts. Now after
independence we started thinking in a deviated route due to the influence of introvert
political leaders who clandestinely developed antisocial relations by injecting
the religious enmity and hatred amongst the people of India.
The population growth is a natural phenomenon and
cannot be restricted by any forceful orders for producing more or reducing the
population. Of course our economical situation demands a small family unit to
maintain social balance in life with adequate basic amenities.
The recent campaign and exhortation by
fundamentalists reported in (Times of India) dated 22nd January 2015,
gives us a feeling that we are “running at a tangent” from our policy of
demographic growth in India. Increasing
the number of people in one religious sector will not produce any positive
result in the peaceful existence of the people. Also the political leaders must
not be under the false impression that “one faith and one religion” will settle
our issue on social and economic progress.
Therefore these introvert and arrogant political
leaders must stop such foolhardy thoughts and come forward to take up more
responsible jobs of uniting the country as a “well knit” nation. It is my personal
request to all the public servants both in Political & administrative
fields to take care of our common men, so as to enable them to stand on their
own legs in the matter of their daily needs.
“ Take care
of the vital things, other things will take care of themselves” is a well known
saying which we should honour in Style & Use..
