"INDIANISM"

I was thinking to write on this topic since a very long time,but this is the best time to write since i just now read "secularism" from fadia(part of my course) and now this piece will have facts and authentic info!
Well,i have been following a very simple theory of mine!According to which-"When the world was formed we were all separate,as in humans were wide spread over various continents and could hardly interact with each other!and we were created by the same 'supreme force' which came to be known as Allah,Bhagwan,Jesus Christ and Vaahe guru(alphabetically).All are different names of that one supreme force who binds the universe and creates life!and the only reason why we call it by different names is because since all of us werent together
!hence,we dint decide on a single name!now isn't this a very simple logic!!!this was never taught to me but it is with me since i dont even remember how long!but obviously i am nobody to impose this and neither will the world and its inhabitants listen to me........

Now here are a few questions which whoever reads this blog must ponder upon......

1)Why the hell do we do not understand the true meaning of secularism?(m talking in indian context now!)

In simple words secularism just means 'Religious peaceful co-existence'.When it was added in our constitution,its meaning conveyed was that state shall recognise every citizen as equal irrespective of his/her religion and any kind of social or religious stratification as vehicles for exercising political rights wont be recognised by the State.(from fadia)

2) Why does terrorism exist?

If the above said lines are true,then why is there terrorism in this world!why cant everyone live in peace?These are some innocent questions that creep into my mind and worry me...
Why were their hindu muslim riots?Why are their bomb blasts?which have become so frequent that im sorry to say but now if some breaking news flashes on our news channels regarding another bomb blast, i wont be surprised!and take it as a normal routine news!isnt that scary?

Killing innocent people for matters associated in some way or the other with that same 'supreme force'.....isnt that being disrespectful to it......
Not that all terrorist activities occur due to religion issues!but its ironic how it is made to seem like that.......After 9/11 Why were all muslims viewed with suspicion?Why cant we just take it to be an individual crime,rather than associating it to religion?Why do we always have to be anti each other!A friend of mine innocently said that when she first entered college,few people asked her-Are you a christian?u look like one! then,once when she returned after holidaying from Kashmir,some people asked her Are you kashmiri?She expressed with sheer innocence- Why cant i just be an indian?that settled in my mind,since then,somehow!

Isnt that very true?In a vast country like India!!!Why cant we be proud just to call ourselves Hindustani or indian?.....why do we have to be known as a hindu or a muslim or a christian or a sikh?Why cant religion be a private affair and not a public status?

I really feel angry and annoyed when time and again boundaries between humans are made sometimes in the form of religion,sometimes in the form of regions and various such endless categories we put ourselves into!
I guess all this has been a part of our country for too long for it to change!but who is talking about changing?Follow what you believe in but do not look at the other person who follows something different than you, as alien! that person too is the same, as everyone has been created by the same supreme force..............



Come dear,Indians lets follow INDIANISM.......

well...I dont deny that I & infact many of us do take even a BOMB BLAST as just any other news... but its not because we have become insensitive, its simply because we have pushed ourselves into shackles of complacency..we've become immuned & inert & i blame this inertness to the frequency of the blasts and the way medai plays with it.."BREAKING NEWS" indeed..!!

P.S : U should have told me abt this post earlier... IGP mein kuch to numbr aate...hehe
