Intolerance in India: Media adding fuel to a fire with no heat

This time when they use religion against us, they will do it very smartly. They won’t make it too obvious. In fact, they will fight against it, only to give it more prominence. These 'controllers' will now create public mood and opinion. Frankly speaking, it has already begun, and the worst part is that it is a huge success.

I’m not too keen on scooping out the author of this horrible narrative called: 'intolerance in India'. Currently, as citizens of this country, it must be our top priority to stop letting them fool us. Let it stop today.

I have one simple question for all of you. Why is it that I get to see intolerance on media channels and platforms only? If it is so evident, why isn’t everyone up in arms? No really, it starts with a tweet, becomes a Facebook post, and runs on loop on every ‘news’ channel in less than half an hour.

We’re being made to watch intolerance, read intolerance, hear intolerance, and even discuss intolerance. No doubt our minds have been convinced that intolerance does exist and needs to be taken care of.

They have created an opinion, a mindset, and now they wait. While intolerance doesn’t really exist in the country, the media is hell-bent on adding fuel to a fire with no real heat. It is sickening to see the media ignore key issues concerning the public forum, and jump to baseless remarks and monotonous commentary about intolerance in India.

They feed us non-sense every day. There’s no intolerance in India, please! We’ve all grown above all this, both as faithful worshipers, and as ordinary citizens. Our faith holds an important place in our heart, but our mind is still clear on right, and wrong. Yes, a few incidents do upset us every now and then, but let’s not allow these foxy politicians to trick us into fighting a ‘war on faith’.

Communal tension bred unrest does not take long to erupt. People here are very particular and highly insecure about their religion. If intolerance in India did really exist, things would've been very different today.

I sincerely hope that my observations helps you see the ugly game being played by some anti-nationalist today. It may be someone in the government; can be foreign parties; or someone else; but yes, there is someone who is trying to fool us again into believing that there is growing intolerance in India. Beware!
