I read one article today about india better then pakistan,i am sure it was written in some lighter vain and not surely to provoke an ugly discussion of who is best.
But after reading some filthy comments by probably well educated people, my perception "that education system has demonized the discrimination based on region and religion" has changed.
I had been taught not to hate people just because they are different,and surely same would have been inculcated in them too.But still they failed to show respect in the lawlessness of internet.Certainly the case would have been different with them facing each other,but off course internet is always known to bring demons out of people.
It's true that, if i would say "i am a secular person",then i am lying.
surely i don't want to heart any religious minority but i feel safe in a country of Hindu majority.That's because somewhere in my heart of hearts i feel that Hindus are liberal then Muslims.And i will blame news channels and different media for this opinion building.
But media also made us aware of 1992,Godra(2002) to name a few.It made us aware how a state sponsored a brutal massacre of it's own people,how religion was politicized for gain as feeble as "wining an election" by risking the social fiber of a country.
So media can't be blamed alone.Then what is the reason for such unsecular thought?
I think the answer is simple "i don't know pakistanis.",all i had heard about them is bad(bad governance,suicide bomber,Taliban,attack on cricketers,ISI,No freedom to women etc.)
I know that most of the people are good,but i don't know the good people,I have never visited to Pakistan and all my knowledge about it,is limited to News feeds.And all this repeated bad news and ignorance about Pakistani people had resulted into a short of insecurity about Pakistan and it's religion demography.
