Ramadan and closing of Hotels in Towns . Believing only you are right, your religion and its book is right, you can’t never be loving and tolerating others.




I am just denying your right to deny others' chance to be or of being right.

I can agree that you are and you could be right, but like others also are and could be right

I can’t agree a concept of only you are or your religion and its book is right.

Believing only you are and your religion or its book is right
You can’t never be loving and tolerating others.

When you say only you, your book and its religion, are right
I will have to deny your such saying,
Even when I don’t deny your other beliefs,
As prescribed by your religion, other than its prescription
Denying others chance of being right,

I also will believe in such religion which can agree
Different paths can lead to the same destination.
To go to Delhi there can have different roads
From different direction and different areas.

I also will believe in a religion that will allow people
To pray in their own language with their own expressions

I also will believe in a religion that will teach people
God can have different names in different languages

But I will feel pity on and for the people
Who cannot call and address their God in their own tongue
And who cannot pray to God in their own  tongue

And I can’t believe in a religion that can't allow people
To see their God in their place
In the colors and shapes they prefer and like
And ||I can't believe in religion which can't allow people
To have any color, form, shape and name for their God
 As equal and beautiful attributes to their God.

I will also believe in a God
Who will allow to pray to him
In one's own timing with one's own content.

Can you show me anywhere such a religion,
Other than in India and Indian concept
Of oneness of all or unity in diversity?

India only gave its people, from forgotten pre-history onward,
To have any kind of idol or name to their God
In their own language, suiting to their own imagination and context.

So, I believe in a religion that will have a concept
That God is in the way each one imagine and think about him.
 *****************

If you happen to believe in a religion
That argues that it is and its book is the last and final one,
To be believed in and followed by all,
Automatically and naturally it will lead  you
To become extreme and intolerant.
It will lead you to consider other faiths and books
As not acceptable to be followed and believed in,
Whereby you will have to hate such other books and believers
At least to save your book and religion
And thereby to save you
And get you a ticket in its promised paradise.

So, naturally, this is the problem that is haunting now the whole world,
In particular the world where there is presence of Muslims and Christians and Jews.

Especially Muslims take and get freedom
In all other countries than theirs
To observe fasting and build mosques.

But Muslims don’t believe in others right,
To get and give the same freedom to others
In Muslims houses and countries,
At least to allow them not to fast
Or to give permission to build temples or churches
In their places or countries.

And if anyone or any Muslim country allows, by compulsion or option,
To open hotels in Ramadan or to build temples and churches,
The so-called real majority Muslims will consider it as wrong.

In this way, even the innocent followers of Islam cannot
Tolerate and give freedom in their own houses
To those who do not believe in Islam or in observing fasting.

It is going by this logic of intolerance prescribed by Islam
They close in Ramadan almost all the hotels owned by them.

They deny others’ right not to fast and to have food.
They don’t go by the logic that hotel are not opened
For those who observe fasting.
They forget the logic that the hotels are opened
For those who are in need and for those who are not fasting.

Hotels are opened for those who are in cities and towns
Because they are on travel or they are sick.

But Muslims compel to close such hotels in their own countries,
Just in their own fascist intolerant way.
Even in India, Muslim do not give the same freedom to others which they get in India
India being a secular democratic country.

They don’t keep hotels open for those who do not believe in them
Or for those who cannot observe fasting for whatever other reasons,
Even if it is profitable to them or even if it will cause big loss for them.

To that extend they are extreme and intolerant with their faith.
