Demolishing Narrow Walls

 

No nation can become great with narrow thinking patterns that marginalize a particular section of society on the basis of religion or caste. Enough examples, including that of our neighboring country, stand as proof of what happens when people blindly make religion their whole and soul and begin to differentiate among their own countrymen.

Unity — not just within one religion, but among all citizens — is essential for our country to grow. Developed nations, if not for their secularism, would have remained entangled within the narrow walls of caste and religion.

Our country must use its energy productively — something politicians often do not want — because when Indians start voting on the basis of real issues, many leaders will have no decent record to show. Thus, asking for votes in the name of Mandir, Masjid, and Reservation becomes an easy win.

Only fact-based awareness can demolish such filthy politics and bring true development. Half-read articles, propagandist news channels, and graduation certificates from “WhatsApp University” can only cause more harm. As the saying goes, even when the whole country dies of winter, the politicians’ houses remain warm.

Let’s make them accountable. Let’s make our country grow.
