The DANGEROUS MIX OF RELIGION & POLITICS
''66 year old Muslim cleric who ran an orphanage for children, stripped, beaten, abused by cops bearing allegiance to Yogi Adityanath. 20 dead, hundreds injured, thousands detained. The anti-Muslim violence in Uttar Pradesh should shame us as a country.''
thousands of incidents like this are happening in places where religion creeps into government. It is Fascism, it is domestic terrorism, it is Theo- Crazy. People who support Theo-Crazy are narrow-minded and is ignorant about the consequences which can hit back as a Boomerang. The argument that Hindus has no assigned country of theirs & because they have the majority of India should be a Hindu country is foolish & dangerous. The beginning of such a trend may not look vicious & dangerous but the end will be always disastrous like the Holocaust in Germany. The blind support of the people created the Fascism which destroyed millions of humans.
Religious Fascism or Theo-crazy is the tyranny of the Majority. The Hindu majority in India can & will drive out others, they might get an option to be converted that is it. Others will be driven out or killed. Hinduism is a closed religion with caste system. What type of Hindu will be a convert, maybe they have to come up with a new caste.
Same type of foolishness can happen in the Arab countries & even in USA. Those Hindus who are chanting for Modi & BJP & RSS are racists. The Christians in USA are not that foolish to Claim USA as a Christian Nation, but there are religious Fanatics here too, at least 20-25% of the population. They are the people who put a racist man in the WH. They are the people who attacks people of different skin colour.
Hope, the number of rational humanitarian people will increase. More people will leave religion & kick out religious politicians from power. -andrew
BLIND SUPPORT
Before you blindly support something just in based on your political or religious view or belief you have to study the consequences & how the reactions developed. The new bill you are supporting may look very innocent or impartial. You need to see from where it is coming, who are the people behind it. Are they not political & religious fanatics with no kindness, no compassion? Do not forget what happened in Gujarat, the mass murder when Modi was CM.
Just because someone call himself a ‘yogi’-that won’t make him a yogi. Yogi is a self-controlled human. Yogi won’t bully and impose his preferences on others. 1/3 of the people of India is starving, they are not concerned. It is just commonsense & it is the way of Nature that one species becomes the food of another. India is one among the 7 countries of the world with poverty & starvation. Why did they ban cow slaughter? Why the cows in the shelters are starving? Where they disappear to? Who owns the slaughterhouses, India is the leading exporter of beef & cowhide in the world. Cow slaughter is banned to provide cheap beef to the beef exporters while 1/3 of the population is starving. And they use religious beliefs to make money. Farmers are starving and are in deep debt and committing suicide, are they concerned? Don’t forget, the Germans supported the Nazis in the beginning & once they acquired power, they turned to be mass murderers.
Do not take hatred killing as isolated, it will spread. If you justify it in support of your present ignorance, you won’t be able to stop it. So stop supporting religious & political fanaticism.
