Current Religious Intolerance

Religion is a sensitive matter that can go in favor of or against the poeple living in particular geographical boundaries. It depends upon several factors. For example broadminded, tolerant,well informed and moderate views spread light in the corridors of worship. On the other hand, narrow mindedness, rigidity, sanctimoniousness, intolerance, ignorance and sense of superiority among any religious group hinder the path of light. Unfortunately, religious intolerance has become a global phenomenon. Follower of every school of thought –be it Muslim  Christian, Hindu, Jew, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic or pantheist–advocates his/her own version of belief, worship or any other philosophy of life. Dissenting views are not accepted because majority is not taught to adopt flexibility and tolerance. Ultimately, diversity is curbed while rigidity is promoted. This paves the way for extremism, violence, mobocracy and sensationalism. Moreover, all these evils give way to the serious threat of terrorism.  Ultimately peace of the entire global community is badly disturbed.
It is high time for the international community to devise a strategy. This should not include media statements and Twitter claims. A proper pragmatic approach is the need of the hour. Governments must not allow any hate filled narrative to be propagated and published any where.There must be strict censorship on religious literature. These steps must be taken at drop of a hat. Otherwise entire global peace and stability will be damaged. Young minds will receive bad influence.
Everyone must contribute in spreading light in the corridors of worship. There are unbearable darkness and hatred among the followers of different religions. No one accepts the teaching other than their own school of thought.
An important responsibility lies on the shoulders of religious scholars. They should not allow anarchist and prejudiced characters to spread hatred among innocent and peaceful people. Only those should be allowed to preach whose characters are not controversial. Those who have the good understanding of human psyche. Those who know how severe and dangerous the role of preacher can be. That is why everyone must join hands to curb the menace of intolerance and extremism. The sooner, the better.

Current Religious tolerance level in Pakistan and India

On both sides of Radcliffe line, minorities are brutally exploited. Seeds of hatred are deeply rooted in the unfortunate land of subcontinent. India's extremist tendencies under the grab of secularism are crystal clear. In fact India never was a secular state. While on other side of the border, though harsh for many, minorities are forcefully converted. They are treated as third class citizens. They aren't given jobs  on the basis of their abilities. Their faith determines their fate. Why don't we try to spread peace, love and tolerance? This question haunts the minds of every sane individual living on both sides of the boarder. In India, Muslims cannot perform certain rituals. Notwithstanding they own India as their motherland,their association is linked to Pakistan. It is argued by liberal school of thought that the division based on two nation theory can never be justified. They argue that hindus and Muslims had been living in subcontinent for hundreds of years w...

Wrong Direction

THERE was at one time a young lady who was keen on games, however when she achieved Grade 7 she understood that in her nation, sports was a vocation which was difficult for ladies to seek after. She would not have had the option to become showbiz royalty, so she changed her concentration from games to studies, and set her eyes on joining the common administration. When she got her Bachelor's qualification, she had surrendered her common administration dreams on the grounds that, to place it in her very own words, there was "minimal expenditure" in it. She joined the top school of the nation to think about financial aspects. It was here that she met her future spouse who unexpectedly beat the common administrations examinations in 1996 and joined the administration possibly to stop five years after the fact when the couple moved to the US. This is the genuine story of Dr Gita Gopinath, boss market analyst at the IMF, and is as appropriate to Pakistan for what it's wo...
