Religion Column in our Application Forms
There I was in one of the web forums and I saw someone posing the following Question for a debate
" Should Govt. remove the religion column from application forms at all levels of enrollment or inquiry??"
To strengthen his point he cited the plight of the parent who had an inter-religion marriage and now were in dilemma about stating the religion of their child. He even went to the extent of quoting high divorce figures among the inter-religion marriages due to the clashes among relatives to enforce their religion on the new born.
The debate went on till infinity with no solutions and unfortunately without even 0.000000001% of our population taking a note of it or even being aware of it.
And I thought what could be the right way to get consensus on such an important topic without involving the vested interests of our well known corrupt political system, even if the masses gave their consent who will have the political will to implement it ?
I have no answers as I look through my open window.
Actually this debate requires a greater Forum , unfortunately even our TV channels and News Bureaus have become TRP conscious and every other Debate becomes a thing of the hour , no Pranoy Roys , Karan Thapars, Rajdeep Sardesais or Barkha Duttas have able to bring about any changes in the political responsiveness to the issues nor any accountability to the social welfare, all they managed were broken forces of Mass Media (or were they divided by someone who knows) all heading a small news channel and few high perks, Social responsibility of the media is the last thing in anybody's mind. They flare up the trivial issues like Mr.X kissing Miss.Y or Defacing of some Statue, which a matured media could have well ignored and Nation wide violence could have be contained to a local incident.
Even the Lead India program by well know publication house is all about TRP , if any wise man question the entire objectivity of such an event - I am sure they all will scamper for answers.
There is no hope for India when politicians decide perks for themselves and as well as immunity for everything and Media play the King Maker.
Even the other day when the masses stand in long queue to be frisked at the Airport,
these politicians the deemed demigods excused themselves as well as Army chiefs from being frisked .
The argument laid down by them was these army men protect our borders and hence frisking them is an insult to their integrity but what about us we citizens who live within
the same borders are we terrorists to be frisked or are we second grade mortals?
This country is being run by the whims and fancies of the few, when state like Kerala reel under power cuts , the same Party of the ruling faction in the state oppose Bills at the Center that will bring in Nuclear power to India, who needs bombs when masses are dying for basic amenities, the man on the street don't want a bomb. All he needs is two square meals a day and he will only get it when India's industrial development is backed by a stronger infrastructure.
Rather than being a termite the leaders should learn to be a honey cow though both are parasitic the later one is beneficial for the ants too (read common man).
Religion is a political weapon no one would dare to disarm themselves of this weapon not even the one who suffers from it , coz he can gain sympathy through it .
May the WISDOM Prevail and Country be Saved
