Religious Strife in India
The happenings are deplorable. The ironic thing is that such events are not without precedence. It just sets one to wonder as to why these hate-filled events keep occurring, because all they do and have done is to spur more hatred and violence. My knowledge of Hindu mythology tells me that Lord Rama was a stickler for equality and justice.
It is time that we Indians realize that India is a very diverse country; there are differences and these should be resolved not by demolishing holy shrines but through affirmative action and equal opportunity. I don’t think any religion preaches violence and intolerance.
