India is a secular country . This has been one of our greatest strength and some thing we all still proud of. Mutual co-existence with utmost respect and love for our fellow beings irrespective of their ideologies has been something which has invited world's envy to our dear India.
India is a free country too. Each person has his own free will. So he is free to take note of various ideas and thoughts and accept or reject thoughts which may or may not appeal to him . Since human beings are awarded with the power of thought, let human beings be free to choose to be free in his course of action (subject to law) . Something which we all are able to do is to share our own thoughts with one another , with equal respect to other's view on the same subject. We need not try to impose our own ideologies on others. Earlier such attempts of imposing such ideologies have led to grave mistakes with history as its prime witness( say Hitler .. add on to this list with new names .. defintely u know some more ).
In this secular fabric of our dear nation , a grave danger is awaiting future of our country. The danger caused due to the communaliZation of our basic educational institutions . More and more boards with school/college names which signifies a particular community ( be it of any kind .. hindu, muslim christian parsi ....n etc ) are piling up in our country. This could be a marketing strategy to attract customers in this era of extreme competitiveness. However, i personally fear this may slowly lead to new generation who are complete strangers to members of another community than their own , even pamper a viewpoint decorated with fear and doubt. May be , in future , a Yousuf can never have a best friend in Krishnan or Joseph , vice versa as they all might have become completely alien to each other's practises and faiths . Imagine the kind of the THREAT it will pose to our UNITY in DIVERSITY .
Wats your thoughts on these ?? Would love to know.
