I am a Hindu and I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both Tolerance and Universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true.
-Swami Vivekanad
I started writing this article by quoting “Swami Vivekanand Ji” just to bring attention of those No-Proud Hindus, who portray themselves among new age intellects, and have forgotten our original preaching.
Well a debate of tolerance was started recently in India out of no context on ground. Those who were targeted for being intolerant (especially those who feel proud of their religion- mainly Hindus) were blamed for every small or big crime. Sadly, same type of crimes were ignored when it was done by the criminals having an identity covered with some other religions. A criminal is always a criminal and law of land is enough to deal with it.
We cannot establish a Kangaroo court (now the social media) and blame entire religion or religious organization or region for being intolerant in the name of crimes. The new age, self-proclaimed intellectuals are the same people who troll our nation’s leaders, leaders elected by Indians and sitting on constitutional posts for day and night. But when same is being done by others common citizens with them, they paint entire religion, organization as Bhakts, Trolls etc.
Freedom of expression is not the hostage of a special class of society, it is ensured by the makers of our Constitution for every citizen of India. Be it a student, a villager, a labor, a professor or a political activist or a leader. The sad part of entire intolerance campaign was, it was initiated and propagated by those, who were enjoying powers since decades. Who had direct access to then governments (in day and night).
We have heard stories of journalists, who had access to the Bedrooms of leaders like Late Shri Kashiram. Same journalists now don’t allow fellow citizens to even comment on their social profiles or allow other journalists to offices in their center of power and they advocate Intolerance debate about one specific religion, organization.
Time has come for fellow citizens to go in depth behind each “Projected Script” of these new age intellects and reply in same manner.
Recently a social media account of a famous singer was suspended after some comment on a tweet, but the source of that tweet, which provoked that singer and thousand others to comment on that tweet, was untouched.
This kind of one sided approach don’t last for long. Best is Social media and independent platforms are standing parallel to controlled Main Stream Media. They are challenging projected debates with facts and figures. The only need of hour is to keep a close eye and see every prospective with open mind. Research your own facts and then believe on any projected story. India and Indians will come out of this era as well.
We will defeat those evil powers. India will rise and shine clean.
