HEIGHT OF IRONY.................IN MUMBAI........

If an Indian is ill-treated abroad then we make it a prestige isssue and even roar in Praliament. Here in Mumbai we are murdering and harassing our own countrymen.

If a Hindu is murdered or his religious sentiments are hurt then again we take it up at the Govt. levels and even to the P.M. levels, but here in our own country we are issuing fatwas and talibanising the city no less worse than on Islamic fanaticism and thrashing our own Hindu-countrymen in Mumbai.

In our own diverse culture we don't want to speak in our mother-tongue. If a Hindi speaking person goes to Mumbai or two decades earlier in Chennai he would be a target of harassment by his own Hindu religion but non-hindi countrymen. But a Muslim would come to his rescue in terms of language understanding even when he is not a Hindu................

There is a catch in these practical situations,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,that a man's mind has become violence obssessed going back to the primitive era stages,,,,,,,,,,,,,There is a classic example to this..............Jammu-Kashmir has been in the middle of a turbulence from across the border for decades now. For some time now when the infiltratiuon was controlled and cross-border terrorism lowered its fangs to its minimum.........we Indians started fighting amongst overselves and brought Jammu-Kashmir to a stand-still for about 70 days. We fought over some trivial issues which could have been solved over the table rather than putting the State to crores of loss.

This shows the violence obssession of us Indians amongst overselves. When all went well and when we could have worked to improve the socio-economic conditions of the State in the controlled phase of low cross-boreder terrorism, we wasted huge money and innocent lives fighting ourselves. When all went well we found a way to constantly be on the path of violence even when Pakistan could not be held guilty for the time being.

Similarly in Mumbai......when all goes well for some time ,,the violence obssessed mentality of the political set-up discovers new ways to be on loggerheads,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I am sure the day is not too far when Khar and Bandra would be at logger heads if there becomes a scarcity of issues b/n North Indian-South Indian, Hindi-non Hindi or Hindu-Muslim because, Raj or Bal would still hogg for media lights to be in the news for their political survival..............

Hello Nitin,

U r right that in our own country we are strangers for each other. Rejected and neglected but this is becoz of illiteracy and poverty. ppl are being imparted wrong information by our politicians abt the religion and in the name of making our god goddess happy they are jst fullfilling thr own motives.
I thk there must b more and more night classes and awareness lectures to b given to the village ppl (farmers aspecially) so that they may decide wht is right n wht is wrong.

I strongly blv that Education is the only way to get out of this burning problem and remove the diversities prevailing in our own country.

All the best and keep inspiring ppl

take care
Tania
