Religion or Riots
Browsing through my black and white companion (newspaper) along with a steaming cup of tea has been ingrained within me over the years. However few days ago, this companion annoyed and vexed me completely as my eyes literally popped out reading - ‘MEAT BAN IN MAHARASHTRA’ .This demand was strictly put forth by the Jain community on account of Jain festival of forgiveness - Paryushan.
This is just a mere example of people in our nation quarreling and creating more rifts in the name of religion. Religion undoubtedly plays a vital role in every individual’s life. But knowingly or unknowingly it has also become the breeding ground for communal unrest. No religion has ever tried to condemn or come down on any other religion. It is the mindset and disposition of a few who create undue influence on the masses thereby creating outbreak of commotion and tumult for sure.
