of sanity or reasoning power, how is it possible that every religious group
say, "It is not "a" but "THE" (Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, etc. depending on
the religion of the person saying). Except this "THE" ..., nobody else can
liberate or deliver you from sins. Except people of our religion, all other
must go to hell." Do these fanatics ever think or realize the following: If one were not told that
one was born of Christian parents and raised in a family of a different religion, one would never think Christianity
as the best or "THE" religion. Is religion a bundle of witchcraft that if we follow some rituals and
dogmas and claim as above we become religious and go to heaven? One should
not claim to be a religious Hindu until one feels that it is the same Brahman
or consciousness everywhere. Therefore, those Hindus who hate others
based on caste, religion, or any other "ism" and do not work for the good
of the whole world cannot be Hindus. Before I claim myself a religious Buddha, I have
to be ready to give my life to save that of an animal sacrificed in the name
of religion, as Buddha did. One should not claim to be a religious or true Christian
until one follows the character of Christ, a monk who sacrificed his life
for the benefit of the human species and who stated, "It is easier for a
camel to pass through the hole of a needle than the rich entering the kingdom
of God." The Christians do not seem to be behind anybody else in the pursuit
of riches (wealth), materials, pleasures, comforts, etc. Similarly, we can
say many things about all religious groups. Neglecting the character "Gandhi," or 99%
of his philosophy and recommendations, we made him a semi-god just based
on one of his many recommendations, "non-violence," because it is convenient
for us the "haves," who are in a good position to enjoy lives. We do not
have to follow Gandhi, when he recommends helping "have-nots" or less capable
people to have good lives too. ___________________________ About peace in the Indian subcontinent, things are not easy. In spite
of Gandhi, Binova Bhave, and many others like them, people of the subcontinent
do not know how to live without provocation/ hatred (sometimes, more in words than really
in the heart and, thereby, foolishly creating hatred in the other group of
people, and all other troubles): based on caste, religion, language,
culture, plain or tribal or hilly, and you name it. Those discussions and
thoughts are pastimes. With my
background of living among people of a different religion, I have to say
that co-existence is not possible. There are
politicians and others who will always foment hatred. Mutual hatred is now
in the genes. People like you and me will only shout all our lives for
having farsight and understanding about what will benefit all in the Indian
subcontinent. After 800 years of slavery, the leaders hurried to independence.
Some leaders were occupied with personal and imperialistic national ambitions;
human suffering was neglected. Political leaders do not feel in their hearts
the killings, rapes, house and business burnings, uprooting, and undescribable
other human suffering, continuing even today. If the leaders or many of us could have good sense, there are some
solutions, one of them I think is better than forming a confederation out
of the SAARC countries (like the European Union). There is one country in
the SAARC, whose Psyche of divisionism will be difficult to change.
Compared with so much continuous suffering for generation after generation,
one-time relocation should not be that catastrophic a problem. We can
interact more for details on the logistics. Just one hint: relocate people
over as many years as needed but have a concrete plan about managing relocation,
the exchange of properties (Central Government can buy and re-sell), etc.
Create 200 or as many as needed independent territories in SAARC countries
each with homogeneous people based on religion, language, culture, etc.
(last census may be used). Only defense and foreign affairs will remain
in the hands of the central government equally or proportionally represented
by each independent territory. By election, people may retain their kings
(Nepal, Bhutan, or wherever) within their territories. _____________ Sights or Observations
