Cultural dimensions of hatred, anger for other social groups
- We live in a multi-cultural, multi-linguistic society of people socially divided in the name of religion and caste. Where every minority group becomes a victim of mental and physical abuse. Others trivialise them with hate speeches by passing bad comments, torture them in the name of religion, treat them like a slur, and sometimes force them into religious conversion. Religious supremacy of a community having a wider footprint always tries to dominate over those who r weaker, in minority and such weaker section of society becomes more weaker when their voices r not heard by the judiciary or any defining body who fight for others' justice. We are all born equal with no label of cultural mark to classify someone as socially elite or poor than why we r divided in the name of caste and creed , demarcated as rich, poor, and treated so distinctively when we are all born human with a kind living heart. We killed our empathy, kindness under the religious cloak of caste we r identified with and have no tenderness in our hearts, no compassion for religious groups of different ethno-religious roots or for someone carrying wrong mythical beliefs about their religious Identity and treat like an outcast, a cold meat.
Our discriminatory nature towards different communal groups
• We offer milk, fruits at the altar to god when outside temples, scores of poors beg for food and money, which is not an act of philanthropy.
• Easter, egg breaking ceremony is a ritual among Christians, and we never thought of how many eggs we destroy every year as part of a ritual. It's so dehumanizing that we're wasting rich mineral resources in fun activities.
• Our religious outfit of wearing a turban in Sikhs and hizab, burqa in muslims creates a very negative perception about Indian and such inhabitable style of clothing invites lewd comments and trolls by others.
• To worship your idol is your religious beliefs to the almighty but reciting prayers or azaan in loud speaker is against our moral ethics. For every Hindu muslim devotee, respecting your culture and tradition is your work and workship but raising loud noise above a permissible limit is condemnable. And is a punishable act in countries outside India.
Such behaviour is against one's national security and does not stand true to our moral grounds of peace and stability for all. Value every culture equally and be a man of truth and divinity, a man of mankind, a strong foundation, and a base for the nation to make it thrive and prosper for the betterment of every living body. A sustainable growth and mutual development for all with the formation of a fulfilling, growable society, benefits all equally, optimally, and fairly.
Our personal growth in a progressive society
• Living in a multi-cultural society can give a mutual growth for the 2 intertwined groups and personal development for self by giving some moments of joy and ecstasy and a completeness within us of having ourself around people who can give a lively feel of their culture and traditions and interchangeably can also be a part of our culture and belief that we have for our religious soul.
• Our inter-religious construct gets more intense and deeper when we blend ourselves in their festivities, shower them with pleasantries, and things of their liking. To love them and being loved by them is the only hax for a deeper, stronger bond between the two. And when there is love, there will be a correlative bond of friendship and shared respect for each other's culture.
• To certain religious groups, we classified them as very aggressive, rogue, and slovenly with their behaviour and conduct. This stereotypical mindset of ours will fade with our deep, friendly ties with them, which will wash off all our radical, straining age-old bonds of enmity, and turn our hostile nature more friendlier and open with them.
Our unhealthy relationship with our close network of people of other ethno-religious groups could hamper personal development and could lead to the formation of a society that is more rupturous and divisible to nuclear forms. Our ethnic bonds of love and friendship go south when we don't know how to feather our own nest. And where there are pots and pans, they will clang. As people of mixed ethnicity, when living together, they squabble; their actions speak louder of themselves with their cultural sects, customs, traditions, religious identities, and dynamic inter-cultural bonds. Therefore, practice being humble, loyal to yourself and to others, value them, their cultural sects and traditions, because to earn respect, give respect 1st. Never try to lower someone down, or disrespect their ethnic beliefs or morality to god because slinging mud at others only gets you dirty.
Our behaviour, social etiquettes and potiteness in tone gives us a respectable position in society and good, benign cultural ties with people spanning in a regional space around us. How a progressive society gives us a sense of belonging and a relatable feeling of being connected to them in words and emotions. Good personal bonds spread love and trust in a relationship and r building blocks for ones growth and personal development.
