How much tolerance is expected from Hindu Community??
“Freedom of voice”, I don’t know what was in mind of constitution makers but for so called progressive people of this country these words have given the rights to do what they feel like doing irrespective of the effect of their deed on the masses.
And this freedom has specially been used in matters of religion, as it’s a very soft target. Very often things have been written, done which hurt the sentiments of millions but whenever anyone raises voice against it; they have these three words to cover and justify all their acts – Freedom of Voice.
Although such attacks of the sentiments of Hindu Religion is not new, but it got attention first time when M.F. Hussain painted those controversial pictures. It was written in all the print media and was aired on all the TV channels but all these medium somehow tried to cover M.F. Hussain as he is a big name in his field. Lots of known faces kept on coming in support of him and justified all his stupidity in the name of – Freedom of Voice.
After this incident, these so-called progressive people got an idea to be in limelight overnight. They knew very well that if they will do something like that media will cover it and nothing will happen against them. They will get free publicity and even lots of prominent faces will come forward in support of the stupid act they will do. These believe gave them enough courage to repeat these incidents again and again and as they thought nothing happened to them ever.
Basic question is that why these people get all these so-called creative ideas against Hindu religion only. Why not any one dare to express this so called creativity against Islam or any other religion. Now days Hindu Gods can be seen everywhere depicted as cartoons in print media, being used as comedy characters in movies as well as serials, granting wishes to everyone in TV commercials; and everyone is silent about it. There was few cartoons created related to Islam and there was worldwide protest and lots of people got killed.
It is understood without saying by anyone that you are free to what ever you want to write; you are free to do whatever you want to do against Hindu Religion and no one will tell you anything and if someone will protest there will be lots of people who will come in support of you and will say that this protest is useless, its not an issue at all.
So the question is that how much the Hindu community needs to tolerate all these incidents. Should they also react in the same manner and kill several people and then only these progressive and cultured people will understand their feelings. It is commonly believed that if you are having majority then your rights will be protected in better way. It’s true also in most of the sense and in most of the part of world except in India. Here Government is also silent when any such incident happens against Hindu Religion but for other religions there will be statements one after another by all the leaders.
I was reading about a similar progressive person called Mr. Bali L. R., who has written a book - "Hinduism - dharma ya kalank". Can we ask him, who has given him the rights to describe the Hindu religion as “Kalank” which has got millions of followers round the world? His straight answer will be that its his view and he is free to express it because he is having – Freedom of Voice. But can Mr. Bali. L.R. write a similar book about Islam? He will never dare to do so. Hindus are peace lovers and these people have been taking undue advantage of this characteristic.
Its high time when Government should define a rulebook about the religion related matters and should create a provision of strict punishment to the people violating it. If these steps will not be taken in advance, these people will keep on breaking their limits and one day when the tolerance level of Hindu community will come to an end; they will be forced to take law in their hand and after that these people will have the same fear before writing anything against Hindi religion as they have it currently for other religions.
