Biased ....From Birth !!

A group of young men aged 25-26 standing near a shop .....

A: Wait for sometime ..i hope these guys approach us, i will break their bones
B: No, lets take some money from them pretending to listen to them
A: Loafers...they are always looking out for opportunity to convert hindus to chrisitans
B: DO you think you can break their bones, well then give it a try.why are you not standing up against them if you know that they are wrong
A: Let them approach me first
B: See its not so simple ..people are given food and money,why will they not heed to their voice ?
A: Why dont you do something to stop them ...we in hindus have many sub castes and what not, people are differentiated based on caste.
B: Why cant you provide basic amenities to hindus to stop them from following another religion ??
A: #&$&^%%# ...they have no better work #$#@$@#$@#$@



I tried a prank on Mr. XYZ sometime back ...i called him up from a unknown number and pretended to understand only hindi and was looking for some person named Mr. Bashir Khan ...and introduce myself as another khan !!...first attempt ...call is disconnected ..second attempt tries to tell me that its wrong number....third time cuts the call ...
fourth time i call him up and tell him that its me vivek ....he responds
"i heard the name khan and on hearing the name i decided not to answer the call ...but then the call kept coming in !! i had no choice but to answer it else the call would keep coming in!!!"

He hates them to the core .. a true hindu ..proud to be a hindu types .....

News on terrorism ...@#$#@$@#$ the muslims ...i hear this many times from him
This is not specific to one person i have seen many people with such views.

At such times i wonder why people show such hatredness towards a specific community ??
i have many muslim and christian friends ...they are not bad ...i have many hindu friends ...all of them are not good !!
then why is that a particular section have to be harassed ???

I tried a lot arguing with my friend trying to make him understand that what he is thinking may not be the truth ...but all my efforts failed ...he believes in what he thinks and he does judge people based on caste ...

Here i am not trying to highlight the nature of a person in particular ...i somehow dont feel so good about such things ...i wish if people would not consider Religion/caste/language to judge a person ...and see each other as HUMAN BEINGS !!

We shouldnt generalize any comments ...even if there are a million people who are involved in terrorism, there are millions of others who are normal human beings ...is it fair enough to generalize such comments ???
It may be too much but i believe even if there is only one single person of a community who is good then i would still not generalize my comments as there is one person who is still good...i always believed and strongly believe that religions/language etc were man-made for what ever reasons and they mean not much to me when compared to an individual !!
In the first place i would never identify a terrorist/criminal by his religion or caste ...he is just an individual to me on planet earth !!

In the process i have realized that arguments don't work in some cases, it just heats up the discussion and there is no change in the attitude of the other person ...because he/she with such thoughts is
biased from birth !!
After realizing this i have stopped making any heated arguments ...ignore such comments ...remember
Ignorance is bliss !!

I am sure such things would exist for ever and nothing is gonna change...
