[dropcap]I[/dropcap]ndia has great leaders and best orators in the world. Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru are matchless leaders in world history. The incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi is proved to be one of the most promising and dynamic leaders in India as well as in the world. Realistically speaking , his leadership is in a sense of relief for India in many ways. Under his leadership the Nagas are hopeful of a lasting political settlement. Women in India do not know what real freedom and peace in the world is because of dowry system.The burden of dowry is too odd and overwhelming for the families. Dowry related death occurs almost every day and in connection with dowry, female gender born to the families is thought to be unlucky and many daughters are persecuted. But the leaders have no concern about it but they are concerned about cows. It shows that they love cows more than women.If the constitution is to be honoured, legislating to ban cow slaughter and religious conversion are contrary to the provisions of the constitution. It is a sheer imposition of the culture of the majority on the minority. Anti – conversion is meant conversion from majority to minority. If conversion is from minority to majority, the people are silent but when conversion from majority to minority takes place, it creates commotion. Beef is one of the most important diets in the world. If bill is passed against cow slaughter, it is also imposition of one culture upon another which is against human rights.
Equality and peaceful coexistence alone can build up peaceful society. Suppression is a gesture of instability. Destruction of church buildings cannot destroy Christianity. Whatever may be the treatment, Christians should practice the principle of love for the people everywhere.
History repeats itself as religious extremism caused the downfall of BJP Government in the past. For instance; Jyagi Bill – I wish that extremism could be avoided so that Modi Government could stand to the full tenure of office and under his abled leadership peace, unity and prosperity may prevail.
