*ARE WE REALLY UNITED?? *


India..... A country which stood united even though the people here are of different religions. India is an example of unity in diversity all over the world. We have 31 states, 6750 languages, 9 main religions still we all stood together as one country!!
Where a Muslim family and a Hindu family can act as one family being neighbors for years .
Where a Hindu friend can understand Muslim in a better way .
Where a servant is more loyal to you than your son .
Where people helps you without being bothered about your religion.
Where we say “ Hindu Muslim Sikh Isai apas me he bhai bhai “ but do we really hold it?
is it really so? Are we really treating each and every religion equal??
Well this incident forced me to say no..... Yeah we still believe in untouchability.... I was travelling by bus. A man of around 30 was sitting next to me. He seemed to be well educated by his dressing sense and the way he talked. After some time a Muslim guy entered the bus . As the bus was full he was standing right beside our seat. He kept his luggage in the rack. A sudden anger on that Muslim guy by this man made me astonished. And his words hurts me as well " mere bag me ganga jal h tere samne se chune se ye bhi ab ashudh ho gaya "
In my whole journey i was in shock. I mean how could his touch can make the water impure? Is he not a god gift? He was also a normal human na.... Then why this discrimination? Are we really united?
Many a times even my grandmother told me “ beta u r studying away from us… make sure you don’t have Muslim friends”. I don’t understand why? Is it a crime to have a muslim friend? Are they not INDIAN’S? okay… their ancestors may belong to some other nation but now even they are a part of our country… our India. They have been serving our country the same way we do. Then why this discrimination?
I know its difficult to make our elders understand this fact. But atleast we can promise to ourself that we wouldn’t hurt anybody because of this discrimination.
Lets all pledge together that for us every soul living in India is INDIAN….. he/she may be muslim/hindu or may belong to any other religion or state but first of all he/she is an Indian.
treat everyone equally.
Only small changes can give rise to revolution.

Grow up people..... This is hurting not only them but also our mother india!!!

Let us promise ourselves that from now on whenever we are asked where we belong to, we would proudly say "INDIA"...!!

P.S. : It was not to point out any particular religion... This was a real incident!!
