Intolerance
is an incurable chronic disease of our society which though can never be cured
but to an extent can be controlled to spread out through application of pills
of positive thought, constructive ideas, message of peace etc. Most of the
people in our society want to spend their lives in peace and prosperity but
unfortunately some out of them have their opinion of monopolizing it hence in
order to materialize their dream they create topsy- turvy atmosphere in surrounding on the
name of culture and religion, by sowing the seeds of hatred and animosity on faith
and belief so this very seeds keeps on taking
a shape of giant tree. Such elements don’t think about the repercussion of
their acts on society and surroundings whereon they moot the ideas of
destruction for the sake of their own construction. Our surrounding is like
house wherein each and everybody has interrelation with each other so if any
untoward happens inside people of outside peep into it and enjoy the affairs.
Our civilization is one of the oldest and our rich culture is amalgamation of diverse
cultures. Some are proud of their ancient cultures and civilization, some are
accused of descendent of invaders so they don’t have right to proud of their customs
and cultures. Sometimes people are even compelled to adopt a particular belief
and sometimes forcefully imposed on them which is wrong and even unacceptable in
pluralistic society. There is need of environment in our society where customs
and cultures of various sects, religion must not only be entertained but also be
given due respect. Nobody can deny from this reality that fanaticism has always
been vitiating the society and liberal views has always been strangled. But why
does it happen? Perhaps we get fanatic only because when we sometimes feel that
our religion or our culture is in danger or feeling of superiority comes in
mind hence we try to impose our ideology
on others instead of rectifying our own fallacy. Society or country is made up from
various sects, religion, faiths so when we live together even after having a
bit of differences it is called good chemistry but even if slight imbalance occurs
in chemistry it jeopardizes its existence which adversely effect not only the society
but whole country resulting chaos and hustles and causing ultimate obstruction
in the progress of humanity. Our society and country need to be viewed in bio
–science perspective to the life which says that “ life is biological balance
of various substance occurring in nature, when this balance is disturbed beyond
redemption, death takes place.”
Health
and long life of a country depends on the principle of ‘ Unity in diverse
culture and religions’ so imbalance of substances from the unity in diversity which
integrates one and all have enough
potential to jeopardize the overall health of country. There may be intolerance
among religions, among creeds and casts, among regions and even among countries
which we can never extirpate but we can to some extent curb it through our
efforts of liberalizing our fanaticism. Even if intolerance is chronic disease
it still is not supposed to be fatal. It is our positive efforts to make
progressive society and peaceful atmosphere which can prevent this disease
becoming fatal.
Some
call the present scenario a transition period where power was transferred in
the hand of those who can bring glory of
our erstwhile culture. Can it be feasible by creating rift in our old mixed
culture which has had also solid root of in our society or Is this only medium
to get power by exploiting majority on the name of religion and faith? Faith
and belief is very sensitive issue in our society it needs to be handled
cautiously lest our dream of creating an environment of develop and progressive
nation turned it into an environment of animosity, hatred.
