It all started with
partition of our nation when Hindu and Muslims divided based on their
religions. Ever since, although Muslims got their separate nation Pakistan,
many Muslims opted to stay in India. Initially things were looking normal
between Hindu and Muslims but with time it turned out to be a vicious riot.
Before independence it was the persuasion of British which led to a conflict
between them. Muslims were feeling jeopardised among the majority Hindus; they
had the fear of losing out of opportunity due to their minor population. This
insecurity and on other hand taking advantage of numerical supremacy Hindus
took the upper hand in most of social as well as professional arena which
eventually perpetuates clash between them.
It has been 73 years that
India has obtained freedom, yet the conflict between Hindu and Muslims
continued till date. It is a common phenomenon to witness scattered clashes
between these two religious people and politicians are always there to
encourage them to keep the problem alive. It is believed that the prolonged
clash between Hindu and Muslim is to some extent a man-made crisis to fulfil
the purpose of a certain class of our society where people from both religions are
actively involved.
Looking back to history,
we can find innumerable cases where innocent people died in Hindu-Muslims
riots. Most importantly the objective of such riots are not at all have any
fundamental base, people from mostly underprivileged classes attack each other
to just fuel up a minor issue related to religious value of both sides. In some
other occasions the dirty conspiracies of politicians provoke the followers of
both religions to fight against each other. In the name of religion brutality
takes place where children and women are not even shown any mercy.
Despite our insight about
the value of our own religion we don’t feel reluctant to engage in a fight
against others, who have been living with us for so many decades, just because
of their separate religious believe. In true means religion teaches us to be
kind to others and help each other to make the Earth a better living place, but
unfortunately submerging all our idolism we plunged into a conflict that has no
fundamental value in our religion constitution.
It is utterly surprising
that in the present days when we have made such a remarkable progress in every
sphere of life, still people are fighting revolving the religious issues.
Mostly, the underprivileged and unlettered people are the one through whom the
conspiracy geared up and gradually make a simple issue to a national headline.
One of the several facts that triggered tension among different religion groups
is when their ego is hurt from the religious perspective which in turn begets
clash and that slowly turn into riot. There are incidents when Temple, Mosque
and many other religious places are being attacked and eventually that come to
the forefront of news. Violence begets violence, so as soon as a Temple is
being attacked, the Mosque becomes the target in counter which only rise the
tension between the groups.
The job, to fix the issue
between Hindu and Muslim is not as easy as it seems to be, anyway, little bit
of patience and compassion of ours can certainly change things around. One of the
salient factors in this respect can be educating people in true means.
Nowadays, educated people lack empathy in their approach to others which is one
of major reasons why there are countless of brutal cases taking place so
frequently. Extending compassion to the needy and vulnerable group can change
their purview towards lives and other related aspects to it. Besides, spreading
education among the rural and underprivileged people can open a new horizon for
them. This endeavour of educating rural people would also help them to realize
the essence of religion and life in true means which would in turn help to
alleviate petty crimes and conflicts pertain to religious matters.
