Faran Analytical Website; If we will have a look on the global map, we will find people belonging to different religions, living together with love, respect, cooperation and sharing in 205 countries.
and sharing in 3 countries of this world and the reason for cooperation and sharing is also that each other Recognize the temperament of the people, understand the religious nuances and know the national psyche. And the reason for cooperation and sharing is that they know each other’s temperament, understand the religious nuances and know the national psyche. That is why, despite belonging to different religions, they seem to live together happily under the banner of a country on the basis of the rights enshrined in its constitution.
Sometimes it is possible for a person who is obsessed with religion to target people of other religions, but there are laws that allow him to be punished for his crime sooner or later. This is not just a matter of the world but there are many Islamic countries where non-Muslims have been living for a long time and no one targets them on the basis of religion. Sadly, in recent years, there has been a sense of panic among the minorities in India, where people of different religions have always lived happily together. The question arises that in the current situation of the country, what should we do so that the country also develops and people belonging to different religions also contribute in the development of the country and no one’s rights should be taken away on the basis of religion.
The answer is that as the first step, it is important for all of us to know our rights enshrined in the constitution and see what protection the constitution has provided for us as the citizens; and then raise our voice for the restoration of our rights in the light of this; and if the administration of the country makes a decision on the basis of religion, contrary to the constitution, then challenge it in court. Protest against any decision being taken, violating our rights – as the citizens – is our fundamental right, as well. The other thing is, that we have to tell our people of what we have done for this country and how many sacrifices we have made; so that we will be able to respond to the baseless allegations and rumours spread against us through some nonnegative propaganda.
Is not it necessary for us to tell our non-Muslim brethren what we have given to this country in the fields of culture, knowledge and wisdom and the economy? Of course, if we can put the services, we have rendered to this country in course of the country’s history, in front of the people, we will be able to bring together a lot of liberals in the spirit of humanity, who, like us, have risen in every movement for the restoration of our rights, will be willing to participate۔ This is exactly what is happening now with regard to the controversial citizenship law.
In this case, even in the most difficult circumstances, if we forget the minor differences and create a broad platform, we will be able to attract more people, who have suffered like ourselves, under the axis of the need for supremacy.
But it is important that we first be aware of our own services we rendered, be aware to know how bright our past has been, and be able to present our issues in logical ways.
No doubt, even in the most difficult circumstances, if we forget the minor differences and create a broad platform, we will be able to involve with us more people, – who are persecuted just like ourselves and their breath like ours, is suffocating in this toxic atmosphere, – under the axis of the need for supremacy of the Constitution.
But this can only happen when we get out of the conflict of “me and you” and move forward together for a great cause.
