Few other things


During a casual talk with my roomie, we came across velankanni and nagoor areas which were affected by the Tsunami. The talk somehow got directed towards religious harmony as my other friend said that these places are known for religious harmony. I should not have said it but I blurted it out, "religious harmony - crap". I really dont see any religious harmony existing in these areas. I only see stupidity on the part of hindus. I am not complaining for them visiting other religious places for prayer, infact i am quite fine with that. But I absolutely ridicule the idea if they think they are bringing religious harmony. Fact - only hindus visit other religious places. Not one muslim, not one christian would do that. Infact they take pride in the fact that hindus visit their shires and not the reverse. So all this talk about harmony is absolute crap to me. I maintain that in India people live with tolerance to other religions, but it is a lie if someone says they live as a single family or brotherhood or love etc. etc (strictly from the point of view of religion). I also find the same trend in politics. When political parties align with muslim league it is considered secular but with RSS or BJP it is considered right wing or hindu extremism. To anyone who might come across this, I dont support RSS or BJP nor their ideals, however, I want the readers to be just aware that siding with any religion is fundamentalism in politics.
