Time and again Religion instead of propagating unity has been dividing people leading to numerous riots and debates . Afzal Guru's execution has lead to a national debate . A country which unlike other states was built on diversity and equality is now struggling for maintaining peace and tranquility . There was a time when Hindus and Muslims were considered brothers of different mothers but the surge of divide and rule created an insurgency and lead to the formation of two different worlds - Pakistan and India . The former is based on faith while the later managed to blend both faith and diversity .
Omar Abdullah has raised the issue of Kashmiri Muslims being discriminated . He in his argument questioned Indian Government's apprehension in rejecting mercy petitions of people accused of heinous crimes including assassination of Rajiv Gandhi and Punjab chief minister Beant Singh.
I agree that Afzal Guru is guilty but at the same time it is necessary to get to the roots of the crime. How can a person who had just completed the first year of his MBBS get into terrorism ? The simple answer would be money and the urge to see Kashmir independent . Number of people are brainwashed everyday in the name of Jihad . They are taken to Pakistan and trained only to be sent back to ruin their mother land .
Once again freedom has been chocked to death with Jammu and Kashmir's first girls band 'Pragaash' deciding to call it quits after fatwa was issued against them . The band consists of three class 10 girls.While issuing a fatwa , the Grand mufti called for women to wear a veil at all times . All these years Indian women have struggled to be recognized but all in vain . Still girls are asked to throw their talent in trash as their voice , open hair and revealing cloths might invite men to rape them .
According to the Grand mufti , public performances by women were UN-islamic and obscene . Earlier too the rock band had received threats from extremists following which they decided to give up live performances .The grand Mufti suggested that the girls must limit their talents to their homes and not perform in public . "There would be no difference between our women and film actresses" , he said .
Omar Abdullah , Chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir reacted strongly , saying , he was with the girls . The opposition People's Democratic Party too backed the girls and demanded protection for the them . Reacting to Opposition's demands Omar Abdullah promised to provide the three girls with full security .
If it can happen in France , then why not India . Why is that girls are being prevented from pursuing careers of their choice , forced to cover themselves from head to toe , asked not to let their hair open . Whether it is Iran , Iraq , Afghanistan or India , Muslim girls have same story to say. When will they understand that Islam is a pure religion which does not sanction threatening people .
