Why is India so easily excited by religion ? We could tolerate poor sanitation , pathetic hospitals, lack of schools, potholed roads, erratic power, unhygienic water and subsistence living...but someone say something offending about one religion...we have an instant explosion....schools and colleges shut for a week...hospitals overflowing with patients from riots...curfew .....every policeman made to stand days together.....blocking all vehicles....closing all shops and making life miserable for a common man.....why just a word offensive about some religion...
Are we really secular??? When people are so very tolerant about the insecurities of their basic amenities..why aren't they tolerant about religion. Is it really a mistake of the stupid common man who with his complete ingenuity believing whatever the opportunistic politicians says to secure his vote bank ?? Or in the first place is it the fault of the philosophy of having different religions, the very basis with which our constitution was built ????
None....it is the religion itself to be blamed for this.common man is to be pitied...what will he do, in all his capabilities he at most will choose that religion which leverages his economic status...if you were to ask me to choose my religion now...I would select a caste representing a scheduled tribe...why just to exploit the reservations bestowed on them. After all who wudn want to make life simpler and easier.....??? Much simpler will life become when we are able to choose what we want from the choices that life is to offer...but the theory paradox of choice explains the more choices one is exposed to more likely he is to choose the wrong one...
When there are bountiful religions to adopt and live with he is more likely to fall prey for the wrong one. Choosing the more soothing and comforting one...a natural choice not to blame him....but shouldn't he be much more tolerant towards other religions understanding the rational that those religions which he preferred not to choose is in someway is comfortable for someone else......why is it missing in from his conscience....
Looking back at history religions were created only to foster brotherhood among people with common ideologies. As time went by the same were used as political tools to attain power. Then started the war against religions essentially to establish the power of one's own social status...people became intolerant against other religions, they were not ready to accept new theories and new ideologies....then wars started and foreigners started to rule us.....so our rich history is entirely based on religion be it Hinduism Buddhism or later islamism ......
People started cursing other religions only to suppress them....minorities were never given a chance .....more riots more confusion more losses....people then started to fight only to establish one's superiority.....followers became fanatics....and came chaos. People are more tolerant when corruption is increasing, even more tolerant when economy is decreasing but just a word by opposition religion lits up flames all over the country.
The very reason for establishing religion is buried along with the victims' corpses...then what is the purpose of such religions which have never reduced the damage but only has aggravated....why is a Hindu waiting for kalki...why is a Christian and Muslim waiting for the messiah.....only to watch people die in the battle of blood......what are these gods going to give in future when they cannot save people now....what sought of a gambit is this ??
When gods have no power to reduce it if at all can't stop this, is it not our responsibility to take a matured decision....either not utter offences or to have a care free attitude rather than wasting our time asking forgiveness and apologies from people who don't really care about others' theories....when we have lot of other problems which pose a threat to our sustenance ....trivial matters like these should be dusted out from our minds. A better approach should be to more humble and more open minded. Stop constructing temples mosques and churches....rather build schools were children from all religions get clear wisdom....build more sophisticated hospitals were patients from all classes get treated.....build libraries which are storehouses of knowledge...let all our temples churches and mosques represent only the rich history behind them rather than gory because of them....at least let the coming generations reduce the number of religions and live under a single religion called mankind !!!!!!

but to my knowledge India is a very tolerant country, rather the religious violence that you are talking about are carried out by the whims of the political masters...
