I used to wear a cap which marked me as a Muslim; and I always set in the front row next to Ramanadha Sastry, who wore the sacred thread".The new teacher could not stomach hindu priest's son sitting with a Muslim boy.

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam speaks of his childhood incident.
Who says that India is secular country? Our politicians! who are hungry for their hegemony and spread the position of social inequality and communal intolerance in the minds of innocent people. _Or_ Our Constitution! that has been changed according to our politicians wishes instead of people's aspirations and emotions.
Untouchability, favouritism, Casteism, regionalism are the social stigmas of our country. It couldn't be change, till our minds do not vanish the strong sense of conviction of _Communal Discrimination.
In #SacredGames, police summoned the suspect and the suspect says" Do police really need a reason to pick up a Muslim"? May be not, because our perspective suddenly change when we see a Muslim, isn't it ?
24×7, our politicians, our media need only word 'Pakistan'. They can not stomach without uttering the word, 'Pakistan' throughout the day. Mostly, it has been used on _15thAug_ and during elections. Election's main propaganda has been' Pakistan' and many people have became habituated of getting this word in a day. They feel that they have gained something fruitful.
In cricket, reality shows, sports, education, society, festivals, celebration, gathering, transportation, rented house, jobs, interviews etc. are having with the mind set of 'White Cap' and 'Sacred Thread'. Aren't they?
Need to change the ideology. Need to get rid from the fever of 'Pakistan'. Need to change to our perspective. First we are human beings then we are citizen respected country.
Isn't it ?
