intolerance towards minorities


All along we were believing that Indian democracy’s strength lies in  concepts of secularism and solidarity in the midst of diversity . Till today  people of this nation are living in peace, friendship and  tolerance towards with one another   despite India being a multi religious, linguistic,  racial and cultural  nation. But of late as the author feels , high degree of intolerance  is shown towards minorities especially the Muslims . If the leaders following right wing ideologies alone are now  engaged in dividing the society through their intolerant views , statements and actions we need not worry to a greater extent, , because in a vibrant democracy like India, matured voters will take care of it. But   the danger lies in the fact that, majority of youngsters who are active in the social media seems to have been thoroughly  brain washed by the intolerant ideologies expressed  day in day out thorough media by the  leaders of right wing parties . They spit venom on minority communities and accuse them  all the time of non patriotism and anti national activities  in their social media comments.   Is it good for India’s future if these many youngsters have intolerant mindset  towards minorities?
