-what is the main use of it? to cause cultural disharmony and then use it to against/rule the country?
-what was the caste/ religion of the gods? who has the answer to this question we need to talk.
-it is said god is one but has different names--who gave names to him?
did he choose for us to belong to different religion? did he choose to divide people in sects? did he choose for us to use religion to our advantage?
it is said that INDIA's unity lies in it's diversity of cultures. yeah right the scene of india that it is today where a MARATHI wants to kill a BHAIYYA, a MUSLIM doesn't trust a HINDU, many a times a MUSLIM is an outcast, and what not. This diversity is a strength only to attract foreign currency and nothing more.
outsiders call us INDIANS but we call ourselves-gujrati,marathi,bengali,christian,muslim,bihari yada yada
a guy isn't allowed to marry a girl just because they belong to different caste/ religion. well does loving someone is of no importance? i personally believe that religion is equated to PRIDE.
religion is the strength of india? militants use this religion as there greatest weapon against india. india can easily be split into tiny little sects. why do i have to follow the rules of a certain religion? do i live for them? am i an outcast if i don't follow the rules laid by our ancestors? well then be it i don't live for them i live for myself and i believe i can be happy without belonging to any caste system.
We live in a country called INDIA. A place inhabited by billions. A place defined by its people as an example of “unity in diversity”. How true is this? I doubt. It is true that people of diverse culture do thrive in the country but are they all united is a point to ponder about.
During my childhood, I remember one day in school we were taught about the various religions in INDIA and we were told we all belonged to some religion and that was the assignment for us, to ask our parents to which religion we belonged to. I was very excited to know my religion and so as soon as I reached home I asked my mom to what religion did we belong to. And so she proudly said ‘KSHATRIYA’ is our religion and we are called ‘THAKUR’ or also ‘RAJPUTS’ and so I came to know that day that I was basically from UTTAR PRADESH and we are ‘THAKURS’, the upper cast, and the highly respected among our tribe. And we should resist making friends with people of lower cast and be close only to people of our cast. Well it wasn’t that only my mom had instructed her ward to make friends with people of ‘our ‘cast but every mom supposedly had done the same. So next day while discussing our religion during the lunch break a faint line of separation was visible. Some of us never shared our lunch boxes again. All this for just some stupid religion we belonged to.
The point here is -
Who defines these religions anyway? Some say the so called ‘forefathers’. Well I ask who gave them the right to do so? And why do we have to follow? Take the school as mini-INDIA. So before our exposure to the so called religions we were all united but as soon as we were injected with the RELIGION crap in our brain there was a line dividing almost all of us that was visible. So why can’t we live together thinking that our minds are diluted with the fundas of RELIGION. What does religion has to do with the way we live our life anyway?
But then again there is a threat that if we do anything that is not allowed by ‘our’ sect of people we will be termed as out casts.
for my own happiness i am blind to all this fundas of religion, cast, god and anything else that is there.RELIGION-what's that?
