Round the clock there is one or the another election story being aired on television channels and the one common thing in them is the mention of Hindus and Muslims. Say it a shame or an irony but yes in the 21st century we have leaders who talk about people on the basis of religion and community.
This morning I woke up and learnt that a VHP leader has ordered his supporters to evict Muslims from Hindu areas. If I am not mistaken we live in a democracy that follows a Constitution. And that very Constitution empowers us to live where ever we like to. I am a Hindu studying in an University which is, as per law, a minority institution. It's been almost 3 years and I never felt being different from a Muslim boy or girl sitting next to me in my class. No one asked me my religion while sharing my lunchbox or peeping into my answer-sheet during examinations. We have enjoyed each other success and at the same time consoled faliures. To someone of my age it's hardly a point to be Hindu or Muslim but what matters is peace and harmony in society.
When we talk about India Shining and India 2020, these statements are a slap on our progressive thoughts and ideas.
In a country with 125 crore people suffering from illiteracy, inflation and unemployment are religion, caste and social following the main issue, aren't these so called lovers of Mother India supposed to think about the real time problems?
To be honest, we don't want a Hindu or a Muslim but an Indian to prosper, kindly work on this.
