AndIn the present scenario, due to religious extremism and colonial expansionism at the global level, there is a chaos of war and violence among many countries, which is very dangerous for global peace, humanity and harmony and is going to give unpleasant consequences in the future. The concept of religion is charity, public welfare, nonviolence and continuous advancement of humanity. Whereas extremism is a process of forcibly implementing any belief, idea or concept. Extremism is taking any ideology or any sect to extremes. Extremism is used for any ideology in any religious or political topic that does not accept the mainstream viewpoint of the society. This is a political or religious principle that favors an unlimited policy and there is no scope for mediation in it. It works to forcefully impose religious and rigid beliefs on people, and justifies violence, murder, rape etc. The religious conflict in India has the greatest impact on the youth because the young mind remains immature and not molded by any ideology and 65% of the youth living in India are below 35 years of age. India is the largest democratic country in the world. Since independence, democracy has been given a paramount place in the Constitution of India.
Due to the geographical and demographic vastness of the country, some elements may arise due to circumstances of communal violence and anarchy, but such is the greatness and vastness of Indian democracy that it does not make much difference to the constitutional Indian democracy, but it is certain that communal violence and anarchy will arise. The concept of democracy is definitely confused by religious fanaticism, but its strength has neither diminished in the past nor is there any possibility of it happening in the future. Violence and dispute are no solution to anything. This is like a blot on democracy. The general concept of democracy in any country is based on mutual harmony and equality.
There is no place for violence and violent movements in India, the world's peace proponent, and it can never be the result of any religious, social or economic disagreement. India is the world's largest democratically independent nation. Ideological thinking and sovereignty are the main components of democracy, agreeing and disagreeing with any policy of the nation can be a normal process, reaction and it can also be a normal thing for the general public to agree on any issue, but under any circumstances. Dissent in the form of violence should not be tolerated at all; destruction of national property as a form of protest is not acceptable in any period and era. This is fatal for the nation and a suicidal step that blocks the concept of development.
If the nature of the movement is always peaceful then it will be in the interest of the nation and the common people. The agitators probably do not realize that the national government property is created only by the money paid by you in the form of tax, by destroying it you are only causing loss to your own property. India has faced many socioeconomic problems since independence. Often, problems in the social sector have created obstacles in the progressive progress of the economy. Social inequalities in the country have given rise to many problems in the society and have put a halt to the economic progress at various levels. Inequality and diversity in Indian society has become a big problem for India.
The disparities in the Indian society before and after independence have become a challenge for India and are currently creating many obstacles. Today, caste conflicts have increased and political ambitions have made caste conflicts very complicated. Politics has always been giving new forms and dimensions to the caste equation on the strength of ambition and the main objective has always been to straighten its own agenda by creating class discrimination and economic discrimination in the society. The upper class and the lower class not only always oppose each other in the struggle for power but are also always found standing in opposition to the government and administration. In the desire to gain power, caste conflict and Naxalism are rapidly growing in the society.
In the Indian context today, not only caste but religious ambition has become a challenge before the society of the country. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian caste conflict in India has historically established its roots, currently temple and mosque disputes have become a big lesson in creating a disturbed environment in the country. And this class discrimination struggle stands as a major obstacle to Indian economic development. Western scholars also say that caste and religion are the biggest obstacles in India's development as a nation, which is the most difficult task to overcome because its roots are deep in the country since before India's independence. Caste class conflict and linguistic conflict have been issues that have plagued India for almost a century.
Since independence, there have been many movements regarding the language dispute, especially protests were encouraged against the South Indian states making Hindi the national language and imposing Hindi on the country. Even today, linguistic dispute remains a burning and sensitive issue in various states, be it Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Maharashtra, linguistic disputes have surfaced at different levels. There is resentment among the majority regarding the Uniform Civil Code, on the other hand, the minority community is scared that its identity and identity may become nonexistent.
Since independence, it was the basic concept of development that in the fiveyear plans, economic development of the society and means of employment would be available in a democratic and secular manner in a classless society. But even after 75 years of independence, class discrimination, linguistic dispute in the democratic system has still created many obstacles in economic development. The concept of positive class discrimination and development was always prominently included in the Constitution and even in the fiveyear plans, the concept of development has been strengthened by keeping development separate from class discrimination.
Envisioning economic development by keeping a society with socioeconomic and religious diversity away from controversies is certainly a difficult and difficult campaign but it is not impossible. And with this vision in mind, fiveyear plans have been created and implemented by the government from time to time since independence. In the concept of development, the backward sections of the society will have to be included in the mainstream of the nation and brought forward. If the backward classes and poor sections of the country join the mainstream of development, then crises like poverty, starvation, Naxalism will become nonexistent and such problems will gradually end.
The need is that we have to consider nationalism as supreme and implement it. Be it cultural nationalism or inclusive nationalism. Nationalism should be made a major weapon in the mainstream of society and used for the progress of the country. Even after 75 years of independence, like the British rule, poverty, hunger, unemployment, Naxalism, terrorism, communalism, linguism and regional disintegrative tendencies are running rampant in India. We have not yet been able to effectively control them.
We will have to rise above all these discrepancies and give a new dimension to economic development by linking the concept of national citizenship and development of India with nationalism, only then India will be able to become economically strong and selfreliant at the global level. Protesting against anything, turning it into an aggravated form of violence, destroying government property is not in the interest of the country.
