INDIA AND RELIGION

Friends,through this blog, I would like to draw your attention towards something which might concern and affect you and me. A factor which influences us almost on a daily basis. It is nothing but our religion. Religion in a broader sense can be defined as a code which designs our style of life and culture. We are Indians and live in a Hindu majority nation. How does religion influence us?

Time and again our national leaders and politician blow a great trumpet of the fact that we are always united and India is a perfect example of unity in diversity. But the truth is far from this notion. India is a home to almost all the world religions. People belonging to different faiths also live side by side and with mutual coexistence. Peace prevails most of the times. We do show a strength of unity in times of crisis,natural calamity and in emergency.

But the reality is far from truth. We witnessed bloody encounters between Hindus and Muslims during post partition communal riots.
