True religion cannot be misused

              TRUE RELIGION CANNOT BE MISUSED

          Religion is a system of faith and worship. It is a word meant to unite people. Religion is what we get entitled to right from our birth and hence which gives us an identity. It promotes peace and harmony among ourselves and others. All religions give the same message but in different languages. All the religions preach to respect all other religions. It nurtures our relationships with other people. It also promotes social welfare.

         India is a secular country. The constitution gives equal importance to all kinds of religion and the government can’t interfere in any of the religious matters. India is a country where people of many different religions live together. All community groups have their own gods and have faith in them. Various festivals of varied religions are celebrated to unite people. Eg. Id of Muslim religion, Diwali of Hindu religion, Christmas of Christian religion, etc. 
          But the word ‘religion’ which is meant to unite the people is itself creating differences between people. It has become a tool of common people, community groups and political parties. We can see riots going on all over the world in the name of the religion. People are developing the mindset that war is necessary to acquire peace and thus creating violence but it should be meant only for self-defense.

          There is a recent example of Bhima Koregaon incident where people of two different religions were fighting in the name of religion and creating violence. Several places of Mumbai like The Taj Hotel, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal etc were attacked by some terrorists. They thought that by doing this their god will send them to heaven. Afghanistan is a country where a terrorist group Al Qaeda was formed which still uses religion for personal cause.

            People are relying on religion for each and every thing and becoming irresponsible. They are not ready to accept any changes in their norms. This is also resulting in many human and animal sacrifices. People are doing many crimes in the name of religion. It is also leading to the exploitation of people of certain religions. People are becoming more and more superstitious and hence retarding scientific achievements. It is leading to conflicts among various community groups.

           Actions based on the name of religion can be wrong but true religion is different. It only promotes peace and respect towards other religions. Hence true religion cannot be misused.

Agrarian Crisis

                  Agrarian Crisis                 India is an agrarian country. About 85% of the country’s population directly or indirectly depend on agriculture. However, despite being the occupation of such large population, the agricultural sector is facing many problems.                The low levels of technology, lack of irrigation facilities  and less use of fertilizers are leading to the plight of farmers. There are certain cases of farmer suicide due to unbearable burden of debt. Most of the suicides are seen in the areas of low rainfall and poorly irrigated regions. Another reason for this is shortage of money.                                              Many landless and poor farmers lack to invest in farming....
