Discrimination
Differences are many and tolerance is decreasing. I am referring to one of the biggest curses that have evolved, largely in our society. It is sectarianism of all forms. Whether it is religion, race or provincial belonging, the differences are obvious.
These differences can cause great hostilities in the society and are quite detrimental for nations. I hate it when people say that I am sunni or shia rather than saying that they are muslims or that I am pathan or mahajir rather than saying that they are Pakistanis. It depletes tolerance among people who start questioning others without analyzing themselves. Moreover, several quotes such as “united we stand, divided we fall support my arguments against sectarianism.
Religious sectarianism is very common in our country. The clashes at hangu between the sunnis and the shias reflect how united we stand in the name of Allah and the holy prohet(peace be upon him).the shameful part is that these people violated the Islamic principles of tolerance taught at Fattah-e-makkah and many other occasions. Moreover there is no one to judge the others behavior. Hence people should focus more on practicing their own forms of religion rather than commenting on others. I think that the perfect model is just to focus on one’s own deeds rather than pointing fingers o others. Such attitude will not only eliminate disputes but also promote brotherhood in the Muslim ummah.
Differences of cast and provincial belonging have led to hatred among the people for many years. Since the creation of Pakistan, we have failed to unite. Fierce clashes among mahajir and pathans were witnessed at the end of 2008. These disputes were simply due to differences in political goals and opinions which could have been easily solved by peace talks. The only solution to remove these differences is to increase the concept of nationalism in the people of Pakistan and promote only a Pakistani culture in the country.
