Well picking up from last entry, I've digged a little and I wish to present some statics. To understand the Religious Intolerance the study tool we should use for observation is Religious Violence as it's a (Violent and Extreme) outbreak of Religious Intolerance! The statics from British india (1920-1040) and from Modern times (2005-2009) show significant decrease in number of casualties occurred in Religious Violence. That is excluding the genocides that took place during the Partition. That alone demolishes claim that the Religious Intolerance in india is Growing or is on rise! For our consideration let's see the statics of few recent years the Religious Violence took 93 lives in year 2012 (0.007/100,000) amongst them 48 were Muslims and 44 were Hindus with 1 Policeman killed in line of duty leaving 2,067 injured. The very next year in 2013 the violence claimed 107 lives (0.008/100,000) where 66 were Muslims and 41 were Hindus. Now the people creating a atmosphere are arguing, See the casualties are increased the Religious Intolerance is Rising in Country well to take that in the contrast that same year 1,643 were injured in non Religious Violence including 794 Hindus,703 Muslims and 200 Police personnel. The Deaths in Religious violence are tragic but the total number of Deaths pited against the past ones it tells a different tell! Let's put those numbers in contrast with Anti Sikh Violence in 1984,* 2800 were killed and 2100 were from delhi only why these So called sensitive Intellectuals were silent then? The Sikh brothers were murdered, Sisters were raped the children killed weren't they Citizens of India or It was fine by these Great Thinkers because then the Murderers were belonging to a Certain 'Political' party? It was a Genocide! why the people and media now screaming Intolerance Intolerance silent then? Then the Case of Kashmiri Pandits** the kashmir valley was Home to Pandits, they flourished their long before akbar invaded Kashmir in 1587, Even under his Mughal rule They enjoyed 'Tolerance', Freedom and even were appointed to authority posts. It all started to Spiral downwards after end of Dogra Rule (1846-1947) they occupied a great section of Population in Valley but events from 19 Jan 1990 when Mosques issued a Fatwa Declaring Kashmiri Pandits as "Kafirs" and ordered males to leave Kashmir and also stated and enforced them to leave women and children back to use as sex slaves! Was The Ethnic Cleansing Of Kashmir a Fair or Good Deed? From 140,00 pandits 100,000 fled the Kashmir under the threat of Islamic Extremists,Militants and Terrorists. where were these Intellectuals then? The Case of Khairlanji killings, The ongoing genocide of people in Red corridor, Attacks and killings of Rightist Activists in Kerala all are examples of Intolerance be it Ideological or Religious! as Religion is governed by Ideology! The stories of anti Sikh Riots and Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits From Valley are clear sign of Religious Intolerance! Hell the Exodus was ongoing for over a decade! (1985-1995). The Intolerance is not a newfound thing that suddenly appeared and started growing gradually!! I think the fake and doctored outcry of these Pseudo-Intellectuals about Intolerance is in itself a example of Intolerance towards Ideologies opposing of different than their own! It really shows the Hypocritical , Based and Politically motivated nature of this Intolerance outcry!! Well I've written too much with the facts I found and Statistics that reassured me that the Intolerance isn't increasing or it's not something we created in new millenia! It's a phenomena around for few centuries, and I really shouldn't listen to these "Red" Hooligans but I need to evolve from this situation! Remember, 'When Lie Shouts , Truth must Rore!!' * - For additional reading visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_anti-Sikh_riots ** - For additional reading visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmiri_Pandit

Last month an Indian was lynched and being a secular country we all gave the incident a deep religious and flashy political overtone! The act was inhumane,Violent, Worst of Humanity but we also have to take in account it being blotted and quoted out of context! Whatever happened in Dadri,U.P. wasn't just or humane but the picture Media and all (Pseudo)Intellectuals are painting shows my country n brink of a Civil War! Well as being a responsible part of community I feel it's my responsibility to put and moot some facts about Religious intolerance in India and present my #LucidAngle on the matter! So let's talk Intolerance!! Oxford dictionary defiles, 'Religious Intolerance is intolerance against another's religious beliefs or Practice or Lack thereof'. Well in India Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, Muslims, Parsis, Muslims and Christians have been living for long time. From the emerging of Islam the Fire-Worshipers (Parsis) migrated to india to find Refuge! Then came the Muslim Invaders in 8th Century (Initially in Afghan & Pakistan, Which then was a province of India) The Christians landed here through means of trade and flourished under the British rule. The Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism are considered as a Branch of Hinduism as they Originated Here in India. The Religion being individual's Identity back then played a great role in social, political and historical development of country. It's True that all religious groups united for cause of uprooting the British Rule and gain freedom, but it's well noted in British Gazette that the Religious Violence (Violent Outburst of Religious Intolerance) was common in British India ! Actually the statistics show the Pri-Division Violence from 1920-1940 resulted in 381 Deaths and Thousands beyond count Injured per year. While pitted against those mentioned above The Statistics of Religious Violence show Incidents in 2005-2009 window resulted in 130 Deaths and 2,200 injured per year. If statistics kept aside the Religious Intolerance isn't a new born seance the interaction between all religious groups the difference between Customs, Rituals and Lifestyle made groups Intolerant of each other the riots erupted then too! It's not something that came into existence now or few months back the partition of our country was due to Religious Intolerance!! but now some people saw it growing with Their 'Red' polaroid lense and decided to cash in on opportunity to hold whole society of india Hostage through their Dramas of returning awards and Fake, Biased and conspired public outcries!! In Next entry I'm going to shed some light on the real Face on these Pseudo-Intellectuals, Stay Tuned !! |
