Religion Divides , India Unites
by pranat on Mar 18, 2007 07:01 PM

Guys, ask yourself these questions and seek answers for yourselves



What is that which is dividing us?

Its religion, its caste, its poverty, illiteracy, ignorance.



What is ideal for our progress?

That we are united, educated, literate, self-reliant, progressive, open-minded.



What should we do?

Forget religion and work united for our nation and countrymen and women.



Who should be our role models?

APJ Abdul Kalam, Mahatma Gandhi, NR Narayan Murthy etc



Who should not be our role models?

Especially religious leaders



What should we not do?

Dig out our past and history becuase it is full of hatred, blood and loot.



What should be teach our childern?

That we are Indians first and anything else later. We should work for the progress of our motherland and brother and sisters.

Teach them Maths, Physics, Science, Enviromental Science



What not to teach our childern?

To hate hindus, to hate muslims, to hate jews, to hate cristians.



What about my religious books and their teachings?

Dont follow them blindly, they are thousands of years old and hence might not be immediately relevant today. Use your brains and choose what is right and what is wrong. If in doubt - discuss with elders, if still in doubt, discuss with others till you reach a conclusion. Be curious and always ask questions. Dont accept anything as fact.



United we stand and divided we fall. If India is peaceful and progressive , we all move ahead, if not, we all move back. This is our nation, our people, our land and here diversity exists- languages, cultures, religions, races. Love diversity. It will be very unstable if all world was Men only, or Mulsims only , or Hindu only. We need hetrogeneous societies for exchanging ideas and growing together.
