Communal-ism and riots are not anything surprising in our country. It has been a part and parcel of our lives (Indian lives) from the historical times.Being a nation with diverse religions makes us particularly vulnerable to such instances where we find ourselves engaged in such activities both because of our inner conflicts and many a times by external factors as well. External means exploitation of our religious sentiments for selfish interests of a community or group. But whatever be the reason the root cause for communal-ism lies in our fanaticism or excessive religious enthusiasm which often makes us cross the forbidden lines and make the undesired outcomes to happen.
Religion is like a constitution that defines the way we could live our life in a better and more mature way. Therefore showing extra excitement on such matters is a sign of immaturity which is in direct violation of the religious contract itself. But being a nation of high sentiments and emotions we tend to fall in that trap (one can see our emotions for Cricket which is after all a game while we lack the same for our fellow country-mates who might be of a different caste, creed and religion so to speak of). This lack of sense and maturity is perhaps one of the most important reasons for us being a developing nation still and we would not develop unless we get mature.
The diminishing global boundaries, stiff competition to succeed & survive are perhaps blurring the religious segments to some extent but still such incidents pop up every now and then. We as a nation need to grow up and develop a nationalist feeling (much inspired by our moral and spiritual leaders). We need to look beyond our narrow horizon to a bigger cause of winning as a nation and most importantly channelize our emotions is a more professional way.....
