I have had a lot of friends from all faiths and religions.
I studied in hostel and we all friends have been very close irrespective of caste or creed. I have seen that a majority of people who create these communal problems are as few of my friends have written here are only by politicians who wants votes and power and money. I feel that among the educated people this divide is far less. I have a muslim friend next to me while I write this. It is just sad that we have reached such a state of affairs. But luckily we are not that worse off like Pakistan or other radicalised country.
The best solution is education. I am sure you all can see that the communal hatred has indeed reduced in the las 50 years and this is due to education. Man must be busy enough so that these silly thoughts does not enter his brains..

Dear Tata: I appreciate your Nobel Views... But the Truth is EDUCATION has nothing to do with FANATICISM ??
1) Osama Bin Laden is a Civil Engineer
2) Praveen Togadia is a Doctor
3) All the Users are Educated People, but behave worse than Street Fighters...
So my point is Fanatics does not have any relevance with Education...

The biggest problem is religion stands for faith which we can not prove yet we assume it to be true. The more we associate with this, the more we drift away from reason. The irony is we associated long enough. And now religion stands for ourselves. It is now who we are. It is the very core of human being. Because it's easier to trust religion as it gives comfort but at the cost of rationality. And human being by nature is greedy. We always want more. But resources are limited. And there is nothing other than faith which can give us the hope that we will get what we want. So you see there is no way out.
