World’s Best Religion!

We writers never mean to offend someone especially with a title like this! For seeking attention there must be some weight in the topic. The content must be worth reading, such that the voice of what is being tried to convey is actually understood by the readers. Also, it should develop an internal change inside them. It is now and always be the main motto of writers. This is not only to grab the attention of all readers. It is expected that the topic being read by you brings out a change in you.

World’s best religion! So which is the best religion?? Well, some will say Hindu, some would choose Muslim. Few would go for Sikh, some for Christian and some little portions will opt Jain, Buddhism, Islam and etc. Basically India has enormous amounts of religions along with caste discrimination among them. They fight with each other for its removal whose decision was made together by them. Whenever a person is asked to introduce himself or herself, they present themselves as any normal Hindu, Musalman, Christian or Jain but not as Indians. Yes, why to differentiate yourself when you can stand as one.

No religion is best and none is worst. People need to know that we all stand equal to each other and not against each other. There are many TV channels and newspapers that show you the riots happening around the globe. But what they not show is a soldier with name “Ahmad Khan” from India’s army fighting at Indian border for us. Here it’s not highlighted about being of any religion but the reality that people need to know.

Likewise, there are many names and examples like Mohd. Shami and Harbhajan Singh from Indian Cricket team. Remo D’souza who is the best choreographer of India and many teams from his famous show ‘Dance Plus’ have performed at international level and also won the title of World’s Hip Hop Dance Championship and NBC’s World Of Dance. And how can we forget APJ Abdul Kalam who gave new heights to science and inventions itself in India. So the main point is that the name doesn’t matters, neither the religion and nor the gender. But what matters at the end is the kind of person you are and kind of citizen you are towards your country. Your actions will decide your priority and dedication for a well developed nation.

Reminding back some riots from past when people fought for building a temple/mosque/gurudwara or a church. But they always ended up wishing each other Diwali, Eid, Baisakhi and Christmas. They fought for some more personal reasons but studied in same school and learnt equally. Also quarreled over playing namaz, aartis and carols in loud voices but ate in same hotel in the evening. This all is not about only pointing out these four religions, actually there are so many, that now while explaining, religions are running out of words.

It happens that people from other religion do not get jobs here easily but when they do, the first sweet box is sent to your house to celebrate their joy. This internal bond needs to pop out of people. Don’t let social media or a riot break you apart with fake allegations. There are and will never be any types of religions but only one identity ‘INDIAN’ which won’t define your name, caste, gender and of course religion. Only important fact would remain, that you’re nothing but a good citizen and person to your country. It will automatically deduce the discriminations and insecurity that people feel and face due to their names or caste!

The only change to be brought is the internal change. Because one who changes externally with similar internal actions actually ‘never changed’. And that is why it is said that sometimes one must listen to his/her heart. It never leads you to make wrong decisions and changes. A country that stands together, develops together and fights against all the evils.

We hope that the voice reached to every reader. It is also expected that you end up bringing a slight change in you and lots of space in your life for everyone. Even if you are not able to fight for this ‘religion’ riot, the least you can do is to lend a hand for help. There are many other ways possible to help and support each other. Like celebrating each other’s festivals together and not commenting on each other’s status. And most important, this change must be from both the sides because ‘rishta ek nahi, do tarfa hona chahiye’. Maybe this small change would take a form visible enough for others to see.

There can’t be any sort of conclusion to this topic. But only a try for nation and its people to bring out a change and create history again so that the country appears to be colorful again as it looks on the map.
