I have spent the last half an hour or so going through all the comments posted by the reader. I must admit I am scared. I am scared because I now clearly see what deep rooted hate and despise we as humans have for eachother. Scared because i just learned the street that i live in, the community that i live in, and the country that i live in, is full of people who wish to see pain and suffering. I am scared because my children are growing in a society that are hateful towards them because of who 'I' told them is God!! I am scared because my wife is prone to attack any minute on the street, just because of the type of dress or headdress she wears. I am scared because, I call India my home and I am supposed to feel proud of it, but yet I might die in the hands of my fellow country men just because I pray in a different name. Brothers, am i your enemy just because my faith is different from yours? Does my mother not be one because she wears a burka? Is my wife not your sister just because she prays at a temple. Is my child not innocent just because she goes to church??? Please take a minute and think, all it takes is a second of mishap to end our lives. Until then, life is too precious to waste it in hatred. Love one another like your own. Allah, Bagwan or God, I am sure that is what they all want.
