Hinduism and terrorism

If anything hurts me the most as an Indian citizen, is the communal divide. the cast divide. "the religion is widespread mental illness" sounds sarcastic but is infact ironic.
So many times, we remember the abstract concepts and forget the basics. and sadly yet comically, we dont realize when they have started contradicting each other. this is called blunder and fetches a failure in exam.
the religion and humanity can be respectively abstract and basic concepts. the contradiction is wide open and its amazing that people can not see it. this blunder has divided us before and its one of the greatest threat to us as a nation.

there is new brand of terror that is Hindu Terrorism. that is 'good' as per BJP. this is 'nationalistic'. How much it can get complicated just to define brutal murder of innocent public. You or Me, walking though for evening shopping and a dustbin blasts off and some people get killed. and some people joke around themselves that his bomb has killed more people than other's. As if you or me are some toys. or some people are more deserving to be a human than us. Religion teaches us compassion for other people. If anybody thinks that other people are less human, in my understanding, that is the only reason one can justify with killing some unknown innocent person; its simply a delusion. and in a society, one is free to have delusions, but listen, as long as it doesn't conradicts with my freedom to live my way.

when we turn nationalistic in kashmir, we forget to be human. if one reads stories of people who lived there or people of Punjab in 80s, perhaps one can understand. the movie Machis by Gulzar or there is a movie by Ashok Pandit(?? a kashmiri pandit) on the forced exile of pundits from valley. What is the pain if someone outsider rules without needing to answer about his actions like the Police in Punjab or army in Kashmir. not very different from Anarchy.

What.. exactly what can be the justification of Hindu bomb. That tit fot tat??
I am sorry but you have forgotten to be a human. that you can not see the person who is getting killed is some innocent child or woman. Or an old man. or some working class person whose children go to school. who will be held responsible for their uncalled struggle for living, rather going to school. If you pick a rifle and shoot a terrorist, that can be understood. but everybody is not a terrorist. who will take care of a person who becomes disble for life??

That then who will be responsible for Hindu children?? obviously, Muslim terrorism is a term in which if remove word 'Mulsim' its understood that all terrorism is Muslim. Muslims need to a do a lot of soul searching. I read about a national Uloom (???)convention in Hyderabad of all clerics called for national integretion. and to make amendments and declaring terrorist acts anti-Islamic. it brings a bit of good feeling. but the rust runs deep into religion and calls for a kind of movement.

Now, suddenly there is new radical Hindu face. more dangerous than anticipated. 'Sadhu' is supposed to be beyond wordly things. and sarcastically, they are involved in blasts.

If anybody has doubts where this radical avtars of religions are heading, must get informed of the history, and present as well. Nazism, fasism, even marxism(russia didn't even have currency for several years), KKK in USA are the ideas deep buried. some ideas are not yet buried. presently, look at afganistan, pakistan, African Muslim countries. or the naxalites, maoists. or even the Salwa Judum(a radical movement against naxalites). the Idea has invariably backfired.

we need to take a lesson. and we need to condemn these kind of things. strongly. killing of innocent public never can be justified. as clear.
