THE INTOLERANCE DEBATE

                                                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of the Muslim radicalism to which they respond is concentrated on keeping the Muslim masses especially the women under outdated systems and the Muslim religious leaders invoke these fatwa’s and threats to keep their authority over the common Muslim but if Hindu organization also become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 .
