Communalism

It happened, it has happened and it will happen unless we don’t stop it. 58 years ago a mahatma was shot dead, clash of civilization has started and humanity will suffer when an idea full of hatred ness and religious intolerance is born in the human mind. This widespread curse griped India very hard. India had suffered a lot not only in term of territory but also loss of human lives. The situation is still going on. As we make progress towards new and modern era, this devil of communalism has grown out of proportion and became a global threat to the humanity it self. Communalism is said to be a distorted form of professing and practicising religion. It has narrowed down the religion where there is no place for other's religious sentiments. Religion is a set of beliefs which explore truth of cosmos and help in moving the world like a giant wheel where every spook represents a religion. When a religion is full of spirituality it is said to be a liberating path. Without spiritualism it is communalism. Spirituality comes where there is quest for truth, solidarity and embodiment of love and joy. Absence of all leads to intolerance, non cooperation and treating others’ contemptuously.Am i right? I think so.
