Life beyond (artificial) borders...

Hatred is spreading its wings in India (and world too). Once the division (major) was based on caste. Now, when inter-caste marriages are being supported to bridge the caste divide, new set of divisions like religion, ethnicity are being forced on us by the opportunists.

When I saw reports about a disturbed gun wielding Bihari being killed by Mumbai police in an empty bus (they could have easily arrested him than killing), I could sense how intolerant our society has become now. It is forcing many to take to extremism !! If such intolerance is not weeded out, as mentioned by me earlier, we may move to a stage where individuals will be nations !!!

In my family we seldom (excuse the oldies!) go based on caste-based leanings. In fact, few recent marriages in our family were inter-caste marriages. I’m happy that such a change is happening and I wholeheartedly support the current generation to go for it. This is how we mature as a tolerant society. I hope children from such inter-caste families would shun caste/ethnicity and pave way for a division-less society in future.

In the same way, I support trans border movement too. People should be encouraged/welcomed to work in other states/region. The government can provide additional grants to those villages whose demography is multi-ethnic (may be 75:25 ratio) and bar anyone from holding any public office (for life) if they incite ethnic violence (like Raj of MNS). This may pave way for more cross border movement and a mature society, which is both humanist and competitive (anyone who is ready to test in unknown waters is competitive too). Movement/presence of talent across will help in equitable development too.

And last but not the least, I wish more inter-religious marriages happen too and ultimately people shun religion and become atheist/humanists like me ;-)

Allah – the Most Powerful God ?!

“We the Indian Mujahideen, ask Allah, the Almighty, to accept from us these nine explosions which were planned to be executed in the holy month of Ramadan”

The above text is part of the email sent by Indian Mujahideen group to media in the midst of the Delhi bombings (13th September 2008).

A supposed God is being offered human lives and this happens continuously across the world. Considering the continuous successes of these terror groups in planting bombs and killing the innocent, looks like the other gods (Christian & Hindu gods) are meek spectators and Allah looks like a barbarian who continues to support his follower’s bloodthirsty manoeuvres. Hindu & Christian God’s intelligence units have failed pathetically to warn their followers. Have they lost their heavenly powers?

Apropos, looks like the equation favours Allah now. As of now Allah is the Usain Bolt in the battle of supremacy. In the 21st century religious battle, one religion/god looks like an easy winner (may be because the others are tolerant). But who is going to win the WAR?

Has the human mind gone insane?
