“Muslims should be afraid of Hindus. They should think twice before harming any Hindu.”


This was my thought. It was. It has changed now.


If I look carefully into my life, I can recall that this wasn't my thought a few years ago. Back then, I didn't care much about any religion.


Slowly and gradually, things started to change. I started encountering a lot of articles, news and videos about injustices happening to Hindus in India, though being the majority.


I started believing that we were actually mistreated by previous governments. I started believing that the current government is perfect for Hindus and our country India.


I became what they wanted me to be i.e a Pro Hindu. A hardcore supporter of Hindutva.


Just a few days ago, while taking care of the buffaloes, I asked myself, “Why do you want Muslims to be afraid of Hindus? Why shouldn't they be afraid of the law? Why shouldn't anyone, irrespective of their religion, be afraid of law instead of any religious group?”


That was enough for me to change the way I looked at Muslims and Hindus. Though I was never in support of any kind of lynching or any such incident, I was very much in support of the dominance and superiority of Hindus in India.


It's not just Hindus, who are being extreme. Even Muslims are taking it too far. Both sides are at fault equally.

Is religious supremacy worth it? Shall we be seeking it?


Rather than seeking the dominance and superiority of any religion, we all should seek the dominance of law and order. Why can't we have a nation where a person is afraid of law and order rather than a religious group?


An eye for an eye will definitely make the whole country blind. This needs to end, or else it will destroy the whole country.
