"Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vidanti" different wise men look at ultimate truth differently. This fundamental belief allows us to look from perspective of people who don't share our religious belief system. I would like to share few facts from history which will show the actual belief of Indians.
1. Indian Jews are a religious minority of India, but unlike many parts of the world, have historically lived in India without any instances of antisemitism from the local majority populace, the Hindus.
2. Parsis from Iran was welcomed by Jadurana of Sanjan after "TOLERANT" Islamic attack on Iran on Zoroastrian King.
Both above examples are people from other part of world with different belief system absorbed by Indians with no communal boycott, violence, economic boycott. however Jews were slaughtered in popularly in Germany, but looking in depth at history of Europe, they were humiliated every where in Europe. For proof seekers go through story of Alfred Dreyfus , an artillary officer known as "The Dreyfus Affair ".
Coming back to Indian scenario first violent act on motherland India was after Islamic sultanate took over Delhi from Prithviraj Chauhan. Destruction of Indian Temples , libraries and even universities.
A popular text explains burning of Nalanda Universities library during 12th Century Bakhtiyar khilji. (believe you me I am feeling gloomy when writing this)
Minhaj-i-Siraj wrote of this attack:
Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar, by the force of his intrepidity, threw himself into the postern of the gateway of the place, and they captured the fortress, and acquired great booty. The greater number of the inhabitants of that place were Brahmans, and the whole of those Brahmans had their heads shaven; and they were all slain. There were a great number of books there; and, when all these books came under the observation of the Musalmans, they summoned a number of Hindus that they might give them information respecting the import of those books; but the whole of the Hindus had been killed. On becoming acquainted [with the contents of those books], it was found that the whole of that fortress and city was a college, and in the Hindui tongue, they call a college [مدرسه] Bihar.
The era of such destruction ended when English rule came about 18th century. Indians just kept themselves in cocoon to survive for almost 6 centuries in their own country. when Islamic ruler were thrown out of power and couldn't resist Britishers Again Indians worked hard to make their land indipendant..When indipendance of the country was well within reach again islamic rulers of hyderabad , Lucknow, Junagadh who wree nothing but pawns of britishers started dreaming ruling the country. which was not sucessful by clever steps of Shri Sardar Vallabhbhai Zaverbhai Patel. however we Indians couldn't make our mother land free in one single entity and She was devided in to two parts One for Muslims and other for _________________ ( fill the blank your self).
Even after division Mainland India was having more Muslims than Dedicated Muslim state of Pakistan. The pain of division of motherland can be felt by imaging how would you feel if you get your own mother free from traitors in divided manor.
Coming back to the current situation and performance of ISIS ( Not Iraq and Syria) ( Indian Society of Secular Intellectuals). Do they know this history. how would you feel if I kept you as second class resident in your own house for centuries.
Again An Hindu ( I Am Using this word first time even then ISIS will convict me without court room trial as Intolerant Hindu Indian).We take whatever come to our way as a choice of almighty. as tought by our lord Rama.
But today people are painting us as an intolerant people by act of few individuals which happens every where in world. Intolerance of country can be reflected in Adolf Hitler who killed 6 million Jews using government machinery. India did it with Sikhs (who however used their blood to keep our motherland free.) India did it with Tamil people fighting for their right in Srilanka.
Indian Government has not done or taken any step against any community in last year and half. I am really astonished about statements ( mostly fabricated) are used to prove this country who has not even attacked an neighboring country in her histrory of 9000 Years Intolerent. this people know " Sahishnu" a word in hindi/ Sanksrit has much deeper meaning that tolerent. when even in linguistic way we have more understanding of living togather how can you blame us to be intolerant.
Just because the change of power in country is not of your choice you cannot start blaming the whole country.
