Unity in Diversity is the slogan of our nation. True, in our nation all religions are accepted. Let people have their own way of life, which the people call as Religion, their own Gods, their own variety of food, what does it matter? So long as they do not fight for the supremacy of their religion and hate people belonging to other religions. Our country known as Hindustan with a population of 133 crores of people with multitudes of sects and religions is an ideal secular model to be followed by any other nations of the world.
But, there is a human tendency of getting hold of supremacy over others, spiritually, politically , or by possession of more wealth. And this causes disagreement, unhappiness, prejudice, hatred and finally skirmishes.
Diversity in religious practices are peculiar in India. There are immense types of rituals, particular to a region, and even particular to each household. Still, there is a unity that binds people, which make them tolerant with respect to different religions and their practices.
In a true Nation, it is very important that people belonging to different religions should not only tolerate but welcome the noble ideas of other religions. After all religion is only a way of life. All religious beliefs are pertaining to see, or realize and pray God. Praying for protection, Protection from any or all calamities. All religions agree that there is a creator, whom we may call in different names as per their beliefs. Of course, there are people who do not believe in God. There is no harm as long as they have no ill-will towards others and are helpful.
The trouble comes when a particular religion claims superiority over others,
Some religions want to spread and convert all the people to their ideology. I do not know what good they gain from it. As the world is so diverse in every thing: diverse regions, different temperatures and weather, different time zones, diverse kind of people and languages, it is natural that they will have different ways of life, and different notion about God, the creator. As God does not bother about what you think of him
Man is after all a minute creation among immense varieties, almost infinite, created and being created by the creator. It is really surprising that Man thinks that he he is the most superior of all creations and thinks that all the creations are made for his use.Diverse ideas of each person clash, and the religiions are born with their own ideas about God, and their own ways of living. Thus, the religion born in a particulr land is different from the others. But why should people belonging to one religion want to spread and dominate over others ?
In this modern times, when the people are exposed to universal ideas, and believe that there is a force, the power which creates and destroys, and is all pervading, the idea of universal brotherhood should be followed irrespective of the religion,race, country, and language for the good of humanity.
But, there is a human tendency of getting hold of supremacy over others, spiritually, politically , or by possession of more wealth. And this causes disagreement, unhappiness, prejudice, hatred and finally skirmishes.
