My Will - I deny you these rights

Who does not know that my country often has religious riots? Conflicts are usually between Hindus and Muslims. We Hindus in general have taken cudgels against what we refer to as Abrahmic religions. So if a movie like Chaapak comes up about acid attacks, the great Hindu brains spring into action saying the story is inspired by a real life person who was attacked by a Muslim guy so why is it that they are showing a Hindu guy attacking the girl? Well, the reason is, yes, it is inspired by her. But it includes incidences from lives of other girls, who have been victims of acid attacks. And most of them have been victims of attacks by Hindu boys. So if law of averages works, the attacker should be Hindu. But they want to boycott the film. Grumble about tax rebates for it. Even file a case about that religious grouse..sidelining the actual content. Now you know why our Apex Court cannot do justice in time. It gets bogged down with such cases. But here is my Will. Should there be Hindu Muslim riots or Hindu Christian riots, and I am killed, suffer acid attack, or suffer any other crime of grave magnitude, leading to my death or debilitation at the hands of any person from other religion, I do not want anybody to point fingers at other religion citing my fate or seek justice. I forgive. I have known bad folks within my religion, within my family. So I am mature enough to also know that people can be bad in every religion. And there are always some who are at times when people are frustrated, mistaken, misguided, and dumb like me. Nothing that happens to me in such a case be ever turned into a religious issue. Should you do so, may the courts penalize you heavily. I don't know how to word these thoughts of course. But folks...GIVE PEACE A CHANCE... the world needs it. Haven't we burned enough melting snow caps that lead to growing temperatures in oceans, and climate changes? Get real. What I wish to say this morning...

I think most people get that. I Actually have a friend like that. All he does is stir crap up to get people to hate one another. I have tried many times to call the bs out but it goes back to that saying can lead a horse to water but cannot make him drink it. Sometimes I think people in general are just no better. They want people like him out there so they have a reason to hate things they do not agree with.

@Alexandoy I doubt that. If we had too much of it, we would have figured out the effect we have on our planet.

I wish god had not given us brains. We would be breeding like camels. But we wouldn't be killing one another.

Religion has become a big reason for war rather than peace.

evil 'tis e'erywhere 'n sadly many folks claim their religion'd be the cause. i do wish folks'd give peace a chance, but sadly there's too much greed 'n money/power seems to o'ertake ethics, morals 'n peace.

Greed I feel stems from insecurity and love. Insecurity in turn is because of bad period experienced or anticipated. Religion sorts of hides these feelings and gives license to be bad. At least that is how it is going on in our nation.

No religion is bad. And bad people actually have no religion. They are fanatics.

Exactly. Not merely fanatics. They are just people who accept no boundaries and have no respect for fellow human beings. It does not make sense why if I lose life, 10 others from different religions should lose theirs, some of whom may be from my own. So many lives disrupted because somebody does not want to play it cool.

Latest from Yogi... Akbar created Caste System in Hinduism. We never had Eklavyas, Karna the suta putra, and Sabari. LOL

I am disappointed! I thought you were nominating someone in your will (ME). By the way, most film makers create controversies before releasing their movies in the name of Hindu-Muslim or other religion basis but in fact Muslims and Hindus or other religions have nothing to do with that in general.

Hello brother, Happy New Year. :) Thanks a lot for the clever escape you offered from a pest. I think of you every time I face similar things. :) Yes, that I noticed...but average person is not as smart, right?

@vandana7 It's going on for a long time and most people know it well. However, Hindus and Muslims or other related people want to see what was the point that triggered the controversy and that goes in film maker's pocket. Would you like to change your will now? Happy New Year and to you and your loved ones. By the way I will be back in India in April this year.

Some people will just look for any excuse to label others as 'enemies' because they are different in some way, religion or some other thing.

I don't understand religious riots. Everyone has a right to believe as they choose. The same thing that is happening in Ireland. I don't get it.
