What are the roots of intolerance? Why is it that Hindus and Muslims both hate each other? Well, it all depends on the upbringing of a person or the way in which he accepts others’ religious beliefs and community.
This man proved that religion doesn’t matter!
You would definitely like to read the story of a Pakistani who got into the bus after playing Holi, in spite of being advised for taking a rickshaw. See how he has narrated the incident and the reaction of people.
This man tells that he wished to see the reaction of people and wanted to use public space for celebrating diversity. When he got into it, everyone thought he is an Hindu. He sat next to an uncle who asked me why was he working at such a young age. Failing to understand, he sought uncle’s pardon and asked him what he meant. Uncle told him that he thought of him being a color worker. After that, the Pakistani man laughed off and stated that he was coming from a Holi celebration, on which the uncle again questioned ‘Hindu brother?’.
I am not Hindu! But nothing wrong in celebrating Hindu festivals!
The man further said that he belonged to a Muslim family and he celebrated Holi with some Hindus and Muslims in a church. As soon as uncle was about to comment on this, there was another uncle who interrupted and stated, that if these colors bring people together, why bring in religion? The way we differentiate is totally wrong.
This was a great day and it was good to see how Pakistan accepts other religions and cultures. See his facebook post!
