RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM AND CONTEMPORARY WORLD

Religious fundamentalism is strengthening its ground almost all over the world, leading to frequent clashes. It is strongly observed in countries like Israel , India and Islamic countries. In US till now it's under the cover of white supremacy but soon it may De-envelope itself as we can see frequent clashes between far right white supremacists and (so called ) blacks and Muslims. Taking the case of India where the Jansangh party now called as BJP rose into power in 2014 and its continuing its second term ,has brought the wave of Religious fundamentalism under the name of hindutva ,which actually too way far from Hinduism which promotes tolerance. BJP preached Hindutva as a political ideology and gained a massive support from people as the majority in India are Hindus. In recent past a comment from a Meghalaya HC judge Justice S.R Sen said India should have declared itself a HINDU NATION like Pakistan declared itself as islamic. How we could expect such kinds of comments from a person who took the oath of Indian constitution which is secular in nature and spirit. A popular narrative of Hindu khatre mein hain (Hindu is in danger) should now be secularism khatre mein hain (secularism is in danger). Respecting others religion and eliminating orthodox principles which are not and should not be applicable today is something what we need today. Whenever the state mixes with religion ,it creates havoc and chaos ,and the world will surely bear the consequences of this.

Act Now For Climate Change Or Face Consequences

The choices we made under the name of development are bearing fruits in the form of pandemics, global climate change, population explosion ,rising sea levels, depleting natural resources, energy crisis, etc. We have developed a concrete jungle in which robots are living not human beings. When I was a child I was having a big playground to play. We literally played in soil, dancing ,running, falling, getting injured and what not. Now there are no playgrounds . So the children’s have shortened their playground on a 5 by 6 inch mobile. Today’s generation kids no longer play football , hide n seek in open. These games are a luxury for elite children’s whose parents can afford flats in big enclaves offering playground, gyms, swimming pools,etc. This will be huge setback for the health and immunity of kids in future. Yes they will be intelligent ,ahead of time, open minded, unorthodox but remember they will be just like a microc...
