THE INTOLERANCE DEBATE
What is
there to write that has not been said on this debate that has been raging in
the country for the last many months but when one looks at the fact it all
started with small incident at dadri and the death as later came out was due on
some elements taking on personal vendetta so what was the whole debate was about
that never became clear.
There is no doubt that the RSS and the
other radical Hindu organizations have their own agenda and they latch upon
anything to further it but then most of the statements were from inconsequential
leaders and to show those comments as a proof
for growing intolerance was not right on the part of the media and others whose
job is spread news but mind in news not rumor mongering .
But the whole episode of a lot of writers returning
their awards smacked of someone orchestrating the whole event .
Congress on
its part wasted no time or effort to show the country that the worst fears that they have so often shown to the country
if the BJP came to power are coming true and the country in growing intolerant as
each day passes but the it was all pure nonsense and no one listened and frankly
RAHUL GANDHI is doing himself no good by trying to embarrass the MODI government
at every step unless and until he comes
up with different game plan to increase his credibility and standing among the
voters there is no hope for the revival of congress .
The Hindu
organizations who on their part have made it a habit of attacking anyone who says
anything that is unorthodox or not up to their religious sentiment may well
remember that most of the Muslim radicalism to which they respond is concentrated
on keeping the Muslim masses especially the women under outdated systems and
the Muslim religious leaders invoke these fatwa’s and threats to keep their authority
over the common Muslim but if Hindu organization also become as radical and they
also attack the same things like you can never say anything wrong about any deity
or you cannot interpret scriptures according to your thoughts or to justify their
violence and against such personal things as sex then we also end up where the whole of Muslim
world has landed in anarchy .
Hinduism has a long history of debate and even someone who said that I don’t
believe in god was given respect and asked to present its point of view the strength
of Hindu religion is that its core is spirituality and every scripture is meant
to make you to more higher mental state and
not lower so let us not destroy that and it for the leaders of these organizations
especially the RSS that it comes out of its mentality to manage the personal
lives of common people and focus on more substantial issues .
And due to
all this hullah over nothing the real issues get sidelined how can anyone try
to bring in a common civil code when everything is political is it not time
that somebody thought that giving talaq
to your wife on many years on phone is laughable in today era and that Muslim
women also have right to education and proper legal protection when their spouse
leaves them but all these issues are
getting sidelined because there is no real debate happening anywhere neither the
politicans nor the media is taking these issues to the people
it all noise chatter and the game of one upmanship happening everywhere
where everybody is more concerned that how do I get my political position back instead
of trying to build a consensus on important issues and that is why the parliament
has been held hostage to the whim and fancy of one family whose only ambition
is get power back and not to think that people are now tired of this family and
want some real work to be done in this country .
