Religious people with arms in their hands?

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

We must accept this fact that the people of Hindustan were the first who invented the concept of God and in due course they attached all powers with Him.  They told the world at large that God is one and one only, He sends us on this earth, He writes our destiny and luck, we act as per His directions and when our days are finished, we are called back and we die.  We have also told the world at large that there is Court established by God where everyone is tried for his misdeeds and is sent to Hell and people with good record are sent to Heaven.  We have been told that God Himself fixes our age and we cannot live more than this age prescribed for each of us.

If we go deep, we shall find that these basic principles invented by the Indians have been accepted by all the religions on this earth.  We had been following path of peace and non-violence, but when others started invading India, we had to change our policy of peace.  Then we noted that there had been a fight between the religions and people of one religion had been converting the people of other religions and people who refused to convert were killed and this killing once started is not stopping.

In India in the year 1947 worst type of partition had been there and in this partition about eight lac people had been killed and even after that there had been terrorism and riots and it seems about six lac people had been killed in both these activities of terrorism and riots.  This is a sad state of affairs when people are killing others just on the ground of the fact that they belong to another religion.  Religion is not playing a right role here in Hindustan and in spite of division of this country on religious grounds, the people are still fighting and some are turning terrorists and some have joined the bands of rioters and both the wings are ready to kill innocent people.

So the fight is on and there seems no end to this war on the basis of religions and now, we have noted that terrorists groups are being established on international basis and the whole of the world is under the grip of terrorism and riots.  There seems no end to this war and this mankind is under a threat from this side.  None is sleeping peacefully because the terrorists can attack at any place and no place is safe.

We must note that our religions are not playing the right role for which those religions had been established by the founders and if the founders come back, they too shall be surprised to note that they had done something wrong.
