There has been an ideology that has been well portrayed in the current scenario these days. A plethora of events has occurred which has placed this ideology as its base. The ideology is 'Patriotism'. The love for one's nation and the readiness to sacrifice any asset for the sake of it. But in the recent times, there has been such incidents which has got this prestigious ideology succumbed into violence.
Its an unpleasant sight to view few political parties who are always into an urge of creating violence and communal-ism by keeping the Patriotism ideology as its periphery. Recently three Muslim students in Delhi were brutally beaten up by people for not saying 'Jai Bharat'. I completely agree with the fact that its offensive if someone doesn't chant slogans which are respecting the nation but that doesn't mean that they should be a victim of violence. We are not intolerant and there has been endless debates and innumerable slams against this notion. But by enacting these deeds, we are again making it feasible for those who think that our country is intolerant to be supportive. We live in a democratic country and also this fact is not unseen that democracy is never above national interest. But it doesn't allow violence to stand a chance. If we have a complaint against any individual or a group, there should be a proper set of procedures that should be followed. We have the Indian Penal Court (IPC) in place which deals with all the complaints and issues complying with the laws of the various sections. We should never take the law in our hands and get indulged into violence and riots.
This is not only affecting the citizens of the country but also its harming the tourism which attracts the foreign visitors. Its also has its adverse effects on companies that are planning to set up FDI around various sectors as these incidents wont create a good environment for them to settle down and they would prefer giving a second thought on this.
Few days back another incident took place in this country where students were arrested for consuming meat inside a hostel campus. This is also another stereotyping presenting similar concern. Consuming Non veg isn't a crime and people should be set free to do so. There has been a long on going debate around consumption of Veg and Non veg and lets not get indulged in that debate and deviate from the topic. We might have issues and complaints regarding various acts and incidents and that is why we have our Law in place. Lets make the best use of it and allow it to resolve the issues rather that strangling ourselves into making decisions. Patriotism is truly a respected ideology and lets not disrespect it by being extremists.
