Unity in diversity...really?



These words starts to come in my mind (in big bold letters) whenever I come across any news on something affecting country's integrity. Going only a few months back and looking at some recent incidents, which made headlines of all the newspapers, you might start to feel the same.

Few instances: 
In the East, there was fight between Assamese and Muslims. Then, in the South mainly Bangalore, where all the Northeast people were threatened and made to rush back to their natives. And then, in Mumbai, Amar-Jawan statue was uprooted in a riot which grew mainly because of provoking photos in which Muslims were mass-killed in Eastern countries, shared on Facebook. However, these no-source-photos were far from reality and were only a plot of External Terrorist groups to add fire from within the country. And, again, Bihari's were called 'infiltrators' in Maharashtra by Raj Thakhrey and now a case is filled against him on his inflammatory words. 

Unity in diversity

Actually our own people should be equally blamed who shared all the-nonsense photos. I would call these people 'stupid' who doesn't give a second thought on the provoking photos and blindly share. It feels really pity on the people who doesn't use their little, even a little part of their brains before attempting such actions. And, unknowing or knowingly, add their contribution to the unwanted and tragic incidents affecting other people.

Such type of incidents did happened in the past but not this frequently and people are expected to be more intelligent and broad minded in this present India, which doesn't look the case to me.  

Though, I (we) have always believed that one of the strengths of our country is Unity in Diversity. I hope, it always remains the same and Government learns how to tackle these issue and prevent them from happening in the future, only if they get time from eating public's hard earned money.

Jai Hind !
