~Days back, I was looking for a room to stay as paying guest. The owner asked for my name. She was bit hesitant to lend me her room as she was doubtful about my religion. Then I told her about my full name. She replied "AWW!! so u r hindu... I thought u are muslim,,,, blah blah blah.."
For time being I was dumbstruck. Anyways, i got the room after telling her my full name...
On my way to home, I gave a thought about SECULARISM prevailing in our country. Few days back, I read in some newspaper that MUSLIMS are being denied home in Delhi. That didnt pinch me much until it happened with me.
Our constitution provides secular nation, BUT our society herself is not willing to opt this word. The worst enemy of humanity is human itself. Legislatures can only formulate the laws. But ultimately, it is the people on whom laws are to be enforced.
