Not just respecting and but assimilating good from other faiths is what makes ours distinctively superior to every other. Amusingly majority of the pseudo activists from right, sleeper cells and kartpushers of dark brigade infesting every WhatsApp group, reels, and X these days, appear to know more about Islam and muslims than any Mufti, Maulvi or Maulana in Cairo, Deoband, Barreilly or Lucknow would ever know ! And surprisingly charlatans know little about flexibility, vastness, universality of their own all encompassing faith as also its stark imperfections which they ignorantly celebrate over rather prioritising to reform.
Over 55 percent of world population can’t just be considered ill informed because some outsider considers himself to know more about their faith and trash their opinions comparing it to what you think should be rightfully right. Even basic statistical principal should not permit you to categorise such a large majority as illusionists and ill informed about how they perceive and follow god with rituals over which actually there are no rules of science which can apply (neither of course to your faith and nor to theirs as the fact is in reality).
Science and liberal thinking only would make the world survive and progress. Those who indulge in petty fights would remain unfit and the fittest only would survive. That’s fundamental of all the principles. Unless of course some cult followers, like we have few here and else where among other faiths too, want to sacrifice their existence committing self-extinction at the altars of their dogmas to permanently get lost in prehistoric illusions.
Science and technology has really done wonders for comfort of modern world like our phone which make us share every crap on social media (and indulge in arguments and quarrel) and the aeroplanes rabidly indoctrinated NRIs could zip in and out away from their abandoned mothers and motherland so easily. Important is that all these scientific achievements are almost 100 percent innovations out of liberal minds from progressive, open democratic and inclusive societies not from people with bottled minds residing in closed places of self assumed utopias shining in some supposed past glory.
A nation in perpetual ethnic conflicts and false pride borne out of knowledge cocktail of distortions from two hundred years of freehand offset printing, assorted pseudo-babas, TV and now whatsapp university, has hardly done anything fundamentally creative and technologically original. And mind you, it won’t ever, if it continues to make its gods indulge in fake violent street fights.
