Religious Yet Secular India
Tuesday, August 7, 2018
It's widely known about the prevalent diversity in India be it language, culture, religion etc.
One observable thing though, is however old any religious place is be it Mosque; Temple; Synagogue; Church; Fire Temple etc... they exist since eons. India was savaged by onslaughts of war many a time. But the nation stood tall. These places of worship too faced these onslaught, but nothing could shake the spiritual foundation of these holy places. The spiritual foundation is not found in the bricks and cement of the buildings in these holy places but in the hearts of people of these diverse religions and nation is defined by the people and of the people.
It's hence logical to say that India stood tests of time partly because of these diverse religions.
Coming to our freedom fighters again we find varied people's from different religions. At home they followed their traditions but outside they were all Indians in heart which united them.
Again this feeling of unity came from the roots of their respective religions they followed.
So India is a shining example of the truth that each religion has its own importance and all religions can coexist.
Of course we do have some unsavory incidents happening here and there but at the end India goes on and on from strength to strength.
The world is saluting our nation when across the world different nations say Indians (people from different religions) are hardworking and sincere people largely.
So brothers and sisters let's be fortified in our hearts that our great nation is an umbrella to all of us and we all can live in peace under this great umbrella come what may.
Ripples in an ocean can do no damage to the waters in ocean...So it's about our great nation Mother India.
Let’s all vociferously say it on our hearts,
"Jai Hind"
