As per the ongoing discussions and heated conversations which have been constantly accusing the nation to be intolerant , it is to be noted that India is a country with diverse religious practices from times and that social disputes among various religions have existed from those times but that does not certify that the country is intolerant and if it is so then every community/religion is equally responsible for a single community cannot contribute to the rising intolerance. The discussion over the terrorist activities and accusing Islam and the muslims for this is not the solution for there have been many inhuman activities and all those were not done by the Islamic group and not a single religion exists with no record of inhuman activities..terrorists are terrorists and they have no religion and this very fact should be understood by every citizen of the country..there exists a religion above all the religions and that is Humanity. This is to be inculcated in the minds of the people and awaken them to be used for political benefits.
Now about Aamir khan’s statement…before that a question to all those who have been giving their views on the discussions of intolerance or accusing any religion for the various inhuman activities….what have you people been proving since that very day? We the people of secular india belonging to various religions have been accusing each other for all the inhuman activities ..instead of analysing Aamir’s statement why don’t we realise our discussions that the fault lies with the individual’s mind and not the religion. At that point aren’t we intolerant ? if not then there is no point to blame a religion. And if we respect our country why don’t we stop accusing the religions…and if this continues many people will come with the controversial statements how many will be analysed? Now to talk about his statement …not to show aggression if the statement was well analysed one must have thought about from where has the statement come from? The rising intolerance was pointed out for the country that consists of every religion and not a particular community was pointed out…the statement no where depicted that Aamir pointed out Hinduism or kiran pointed out Hinduism they said about the country’s rising intolerance for which each religion is equally responsible for we the citizens instead of discussing on the possible solutions of facing terrorism and tackling with it are busy accusing one or the other religions for this.
