For the last few years, we all have seen growing communal violence in the country. It is not just a threat to our country but in long term, it will weaken our country from inside. Some of you might have been thinking: Why it has increased?
Mostly politicians prioritise people of their community to vote for them & in return, they promise to fight opponents after they come to power. Notable personalities speak-up against another religion. Brainwashing them digitally (IT cells of different political parties shows the bad side of one religion & regularly targets them). Blasphemy is one of the main reason why communal violence happen. How to tackle it?
Politics shouldn’t be mix with religion i.e there should be a universal law for all religion. Stop religious appeasement. Freedom of religion for all. Strict action against the culprit who tries to unstable religious harmony.
Hate speech against any specific religion should be restricted. Secularism doesn’t mean one should stop praying their god, it means people are free to pray their god.
Same is the case with Freedom of Speech.People mock religion & target people in the name of freedom of speech, it should be limited by the Supreme Court of India.
India is a country with a huge population and people having a different ideology. We celebrate almost all festivals, i.e. Holi, Diwali, Eid, Christmas, and many more. There should be diversity because there is unity in diversity.
