NOTHING TO WORRY, JUST WAIT FOR A CENTURY!

Read this article: http://goo.gl/3JfCKz It is about Ahmadis, a sect of Islam populated in northeastern Pakistan. They make up approximately 3 million of Pakistan's 180 million population. If it was not reported by Reuters I would not have believed the way Ahmadis are treated and specific laws made for this community!

I am not asking you to read this either to denigrate Ahmadis or Pakistan. I am asking you to think for a moment what a European will think of India when he reads that in India we are prepared to kill anyone who kills a cow! His view of India cannot be much different what our view of Pakistan will be after reading about Ahmadis in Pakistan! I assure you.

What the European is going to think of Both Ahmadis and Indians? Most likely he would think we both are lunatics. Once he forms that opinion, nothing good about us will register in his mind. When he interacts with you, with his pre-conceived opinions, you will be surprised about his out of the world opinions about Indians and put him in a class along with Pakistanis.

Why am I saying all this? Different religions developed in different parts of the world. The beliefs and practices of followers of these religions differ more than agree with each other. It is so because of the different ways the adherents of  these religions have been thinking and  living for hundreds of years according to the living conditions. Naturally there are bound to be a lot of differences between each.

We should accept these differences on face value instead of comparing them and finding one better than the other. A couple of centuries before there was hardly any substantial movement of people from one nation moving to another. But beginning from the last century there have been mass movements and at the rate it is increasing, I will not be surprised if there is a great lot of mixing of cultures.

Let's understand this. As times goes by understanding between people will increase. People will learn to modify their thoughts for the common good. The world will be a better place to live for all. All, of course, if we had not by then destroyed the nature itself by our excesses!
