Hindu,Muslim,Christian and an Indian

CONVERSIONS! PROTESTS!WAR! RIOTS!
this is not a headline or a flash in any news channel nor is it a shocking news any more if we come across any of them..... i used to wonder till date why there were riots and protests in the name of God,spread across all the religions in our country- a multli dialogue,multi faceted,multi lingual,united nation known as INDIA!
Where there is democracy and freedom of speech,things seem to have become more restricted including the right to express thoughts freely....freedom of common man has gone for a toss and those who are benefiting from the use are the ones having power,paisa and control over the rights and activites we do.
....and there are people who have a strong point to prove that their religion is powerful than that of the others. Religion seems to have become a scape goat for the powerful and those in publicity.
A hindu has a point, a Muslim has a point to prove,Christians have their own point and there is no Indian who has a point to prove that there is unity in diversity..... where is the INDIAN?
Take the case of the recent terror attack in Mumbai.... there were many who did protest the killings,condemend it and even went a step ahead to declare that we should severe our ties with our neighboring nation......but what was missing was the unity pan India.... Remember 9/11 incident? what was the united action there and what is it here? i dont say we should be attacking and destroying them from the root but,we should be united enough to defend and thwart any such attacks.
if that is a macro view and not that justified,think about the cases in Orissa and neighboring states where sects are at war footing over conversions and preaching of chrisitianity..... are not we doing a mistake here??
what when a group of muslims fights for the cause of their sect and shouts "justice for minority" and what for a hindu who says protect hindu's from conversion and build a ram rajya ..... why are we stressing for religions loudly at a level beyond the personal boundary? arent religions supposed to mean way to serve God irrespective of the name which we know them by? as we read newspapers in different languages for our better understanding so are the rules of the religions framed....preaching one and the same message but in a different lanuage understood well by the people who divide themselves into groups known as sects and form a protfolio known as religion only to push themselves into the darkness of the so called religion....

how many hindus know what Gita has to say? many of us dont know....other than some of the famous verses which we have heard in "Mahabharat" epic serial song....yada yada hi dharmasya...... dont we?
how many muslims who preach and teach quran know the exact meaning of each verse? very few but still then there are many who preach it in the wrong way....is jehad one of the ways prescribed by Allah??? i wont believe and buy this ...Allah or God or Bhagwan .... they never teach us to fight...they asked us to fight the evil and when every one present on earth has done some evil who gives them a right to punish the other???
when i come across such incidents as conversions,i have one question that immediately comes to my mind.....are the rest of Gods over powered by Jesus??? Sorry. I too respect all the religions and my name being Sai,i try to justify by treating all the sects and gods as one....but why do we convert? the motive behind this seems to be monetary than devotion...and if that is the reason we re misleading people..... why do we get attracted to bible more? a couple of converts i met said the power of Christ is what you get to know when you read the Bible.... agreed.
Didnot you find the time to read Bhagwad gita and try to understand the nuances as much as you are trying to understand the power by reading bible and attending sunday prayers???? who stopped you from going to temple and praying for an hour and discussing the purans with the pundits? if you dont understand sanskrit,there are preachers who would enjoy passing on the message too like the father in a church or a maulvi.... why cant it be done?
I would love to read the Bible,the Quran and the Gita and understand the message which unitedly they send.....and yet remain loyal to my religion....cant we do it?
and there is a contra thought....who are we to stop those who want to convert? its their interst and devotion which has made them do so...... if the poor today are surviving,it is the missionaries which feed them....there were great Indians in the past whom we talk about and do least to follow them but missionaries and charities are not like that...as far as i have seen,they provide the deprived a chance to live and earn and the price is but a conversion.....
WHTS THE HARM?????
when we are unable to set up institutions which can feed the poor,who are we to stop the messengers of God?
an Indian would always think wise,a person pertaining to a religion would think it the other way because he is not an Indian.....

sorry if any how this has hurt the sentiments or has made u feel it a crap.....
pour in ur comments.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS
