An Indian person, while getting to know any other person, does not stop only at their name or village, district, region, but beyond this, what they consider more important is the identity of their caste and religion!…
Anywhere, meaning during travel or in some meeting, camp, gathering when people meet each other, they then informally discover each other’s caste and religion through conversation.
They do not stop even at this, but according to the customs of their respective caste and religion, they behave with each other accordingly.
This means they carry out the work of following caste and religion, but do not carry out the work of leaving caste and religion. For example, once the caste is understood, or once the religion is understood, then accordingly — what greeting should be given to them? What salutation should be offered? With whom should friendship be made? Who should be kept close or far — all this gets decided.
Not only this, but the climax is that just as in villages, people hate each other based on caste and religion and behave coldly with each other, exactly the same behavior is seen during travel or gatherings as well.
In reality, one only has to stay together for just one or two days, but even then the wisdom to behave with each other as human beings in the bond of humanity is not present in the Indian person. This means they are foolish, that is what must be said.
Because even for two days, the tolerance to live together without asking each other’s caste and religion is not in them. The reason for such behavior is the pride of religion and the arrogance of caste.
The impressions of caste and religion have been so deeply ingrained in a person within their family that the person has become religiously blind and caste blind. They have distanced themselves from others. The person has abandoned humanity. What humanity as a religion means, they still have not understood.
A person, having been born — meaning born into the human race — does not behave like a human being, but behaves like a wild animal. They give and receive hostile treatment towards people of other castes and religions. Not only that, but for the sake of self-interest, they also harbor enmity towards family members and relatives, and do not behave humanely with them either. Such a person, despite being human, is an ungrateful Indian person who does not behave like a human. How will a united India be sustained? Such a vital question stands before the wise person.
As long as the Indian person does not abandon caste and religion, until then the person will not recognize another person’s identity as a “Human Being.” And if this is not going to happen, then the Indian person is hitting an axe on their own feet with their own hands, this will not be understood.
For this reason, from today, from now, from this very moment, Indians should think about the person in front of them by going beyond caste and religion. Everyone should be seen only as a human being. One should not inquire about their caste or religion. Whether it is two hours or two days in their company, a bond of friendship should be formed with them. The joy that is in this, will not be found anywhere else.
