Hindu-Muslim Rivalry

The existence of muslims in India is from the period of the rule of Moghuls, and the muslims of India are actually converted people who earlier followed Hinduism. These people are not necessarily oppressed sections of the hindu community but also well to do people. On the whole the islamic religion is not native to many countries just like the Christianity, etc. The religion spreads across the world mainly through invasions and subsequent conversions.

The hatered among various communities is there mainly due to the skewed ideas, policies of the leaders of the communities. When the people start to believe the leaders and see through the vision of the leaders, the spark is lit in the heart of the minds of the people. If the leaders are of high calibre and want the good, then there will be peace among all the communities, but if the leaders are corrupted and are hungry for power there will clashes as we are seeing in the todays world.

The people when they follow the leader these days are also corrupted, that they some share of the leader's power and if they feel confident of receiving the benefits only then the support is there. The leader is also helpless. On the whole, the leader is not able to lead, and the followers donot follow. But everyone wants power because of the formation os a unit. This is very disastrous for the growth and development of the country.

What is needed is a strong leadership who donot care for anything else except for what they have promised. Some leaders are there in the present political scenario like Modi, Jayalalitha, Nitish Kumar. Younger politicians in the congress party seem to be capable but their success will definitely overshadow the hapless Rahul Gandhi. If the party like congress submits itself to a family, what can be expected of such a party.

There may be a counter argument, that BJP is submissive to RSS. Yes, it is but RSS is a selfless organisation which the print media, visual media have made a demon out of it to appease the minorities. The minorities have held the country for ransom in delivery of social servicies, and the political class is busy dividing the people based on religion and imparting tensions. People are busy making money which is being looted by the government by not controlling the rupee devaluation, inflation. The policies should serve the majority without causing trouble to the minority. This majority/minority should not be based on the religion or caste.

Undue importance is being given to caste, religion and people are forming new groups to have more bargaining power when they vote. This is quite opposite of what Mr.Patel did. He joined the 500odd provinces to make one India and today the political parties especially Congress have been the country on the basis of religion and giving special treatment to muslims. No special treatment to any religion is the need of the hour to bring peace to India.
