Bad things are happening. There is no doubt. In this case the Muslim man committing the crime. In another I watched where I believe it was a hindu boy, wanted this Muslim married girl. She refused. He committed suicide. His family kidnapped her and tortured her, raped her. Publicly beat her up.
In Delhi after the Nirbaya incident.. a reporter was harassed on camera by some local guys in a car.
Then there are these set ups, where people are pulled into join missions. It's all happening. Honour killings etc. People think they have right to destroy the lives of others. People don't even leave children and animals alone.
Problem with movies etc are.. It's good to know the history. But it's become a business. Playing with people's sentiments and emotions.
Like that movie 12 years a slave... damn, that movie was really needed. Everyone should watch it. India makes movies like these one after the other... the audiences get riled up. Trouble brews. Things get out of hand. All the back and fourth. It doesn't allow progression. How to get out of this. It's like the audiences are not able to handle it. Then we have social media which adds fuel to the fire. Then we have actors who also start off because they are expected to. If they don't.. boycott their movies rant starts up.
News channels in all countries hide things. I don't think we are in the know that the Covid vaccinations we were made to take, have bad affects. Nothing is all what it seems. India news was trying to hide how bad the 2021 Covid situation was.
It's all a political game of power and making everything appear favourable. Every country is doing it.
The issue with the whole Hindu/Muslim thing comes about mostly is because of the countries becoming independent. Where once they were a whole. Then the fight over Kashmir. No one wants to let go. Its a hard one, because Kash in the middle has a cross over from both countries. So who will manage Kashmir? Would be easier if United Nations just became in charge. There is a huge competition between the divided countries.
Problem further is that Evil things are happening in all races. But when it involves a Muslim community, its not the deed but the race that is seen. The religion is blamed and all are tarred with the same brush. If this wasn't the case..then it wouldn't be a problem. Muslims have become a target, in Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan.. etc.
Partially it's easier for people to blame the religion. They don't understand the transcript of the Holy book. They make references to something.. which back then was written for a complete different reason. Unless one has the full back drop it's hard to understand. I started studying it with the full back drop.
And naturally there are some who chant out and do things then it leaves the rest for the normal people to explain.
Back in the day Aurangzeb was converting Sikhs especially, forcefully to change religion. That was wrong.. U cannot make someone believe in something or take oath of accepting a religion that they do not believe in. It defeats the object of faith. But those who do these wrongful actions, cause blame on the religion which never taught that in the first place.
I'll stop. Sorry for the long read.
