Okay i know i am not a great writer and also I don't have the habit of sharing my thoughts through such pieces as i lack in writing skills. But this is something serious and has been going on in my head from quite a long time. So i thought...why not pen it down? Also i would like to pre warn you guys to not go ahead reading it if you are not open to an open thought.
So here i begin----
We all are very proud to be indians because of our country's achievements in various fields. Also we have the freedom to speak, write and protest against evil doings. And not to forget, india is the only country where there are people of different languages, religions and race.
I genuinely believe in everything i have mentioned above but there is something in my head which is pinching me and that is our 'double standards'. We claim to respect every religion and pretend to be secular but are we really following what we are preaching? Well no! I dont think so.....
We have grown up in a society where we still are dealing with religious differences. Some people still don't want to get close to other religion people and some are still busy degrading each other's religion. I am sure all of us have gone through something like this or the other in our lives.
But thankfully I have been brought up in an environment where we are taught to respect all the religions equally. So i have whole heartedly followed this and has been the same to every person irrespective of his religion, cast, creed and all the other bull shit differences that exists in our society!!
Hey hey!! I am deviating from my point. This is not what my article is about. It is about something that exists but we are ignoring it.
Well i am a hindu by religion and i have noticed that every religion gets the respect that it deserves but Muslims in our country are still treated a little indifferent and this is something that has been bothering me. Before moving forward i would like to clarify that i do not think so bcz i am in love with a muslim boy...I have always been like this but yes i will definitely admit that these things came into my observation only when i started dating him. And let me tell you guys, dating him was not easy. I was questioned everytime i told my partner's name to my friends, relatives and closed ones. But it never mattered to me. Of course we are very different from each other and that's because we have been brought up in different cultural values but we have always respected each other's so called 'differences'
Since i met him i realised he was treated a little unfair at times and because of that i was also disrespected as if i had commited some crime being in love with a muslim guy. But ya okay! This is not about us. We are just a very tiny example. It is about the situation...
I understand that not everyone is well educated to be this thoughtful but the most disappointing thing is that a majority of people around me has such narrow minded and disgusting thinking. These are the people who have studied with me in the same school,college and have been my colleagues in office. I just fail to understand their mind set. Why do they have such strange opinion when we all have lived in the same society and have been educated through the same means. This is not acceptable to me.
I used to fight back when people were disrespectful but now i am tired!! I know i cannot change a person's view or opinion but I believe what is wrong is wrong and must be corrected.
This is just a small observation by me and i am sure there are other people of different religions facing the same issue in our country. Can't we just love or hate someone on the basis of their personality and behaviour and not religion????
Just think about it!!!!
