What is Intolerance? According to
the dictionary, Intolerance is unwillingness to accept the beliefs, behavior and blocking an individual from expressing his views! Some people in India feel
that India is intolerant. I think these people fail to understand the very
meaning of it. I feel proud to be an Indian as India is secular, democratic and
republic country! Many countries wonder and feel so surprised that how can people
with different culture and religion live in a single country! But they don’t know
that we Indians have the capability to live and let live.
Unfortunately from past few months
I am hearing the word Intolerance repeatedly! And I felt so sad that how can
people who live in the same country call India Intolerant? Aren’t we degrading
our own country by calling it so? Why should we give an opportunity for other
country to speak about India? I think even many developed countries have their
own issues but will they call their country intolerant?
In
recent days I have seen the opposition party and film stars calling our nation
Intolerant! I have also seen few politicians and super stars who appreciate people
who call our country that! A true patriot wouldn’t encourage anyone who calls
the country Intolerant irrespective of the party, gender or culture.
It
is left to an individual to like or dislike the ruling party. But we are
discriminating ourselves as BJP, CONGRESS, RJD Etc. Instead of fighting
against a particular party or religion let us join hands and stand as one! When we
all stand as one, the world looks bright and hopeful. Let us debate about innovations,
science, discovery instead of fighting against government, caste, culture.
