Communalism-The Enemy within...




Within span of two and half months ,we already had more than four bandh's in mangalore. Its all not for any healthy reason nor for the fight against injustice. Its all due to "COMMUNAL CONFLICTS".

When i was new to this city i found the people are most friendly and always greet you with big smile..But later i started getting the taste of other bad part of it. It doesn't take much time here to start a communal riot. Fortnight before,there was bandh,and the reason was a bus which passed over a puddle of mud caused a splash of water spill on a car nearby.The driver of bus and owner of car belonged to different faith.The owner of that car's anger lead to death of the driver of bus and subsequent bandh.Is this a worth cause to kill someone??

Today,again there is communal tension prevailing around in city..These riots are supported by group of blind fanatics who keep calling themselves as protector of religion.Most of them are young healthy men.These men are utilized and maintained by political leaders to create issues. Some people argue that they are not supported by political leaders.But just think if they are not given financial support,will these men leave all work ,keep their family to starve,fight for no reason on name of religion?? There are many issues to be fought for,many which cause so much of harm to them(no water,power) .But they don't fight for it.Why is it so..??Why only in name of religion they fight .

I can't understand how can one protect their faith by slaughtering other men recklessly. I wish these men understand and follow the teachings of their respective religion.I am sure no religion promotes violence.Hope to see this beautiful city in harmony very soon.

I agree with you totally. Basically, people are becoming so selfish and egoistic that tolerance is forgotten. Rather than fight over petty things people should have love for other beings and support each other. It is people like us who need to show the way to others.
