For politicians and faith charmers religion is mere prank

Politicians have created icebucket challenge kind of frenzy for a religious event with lies to ensure strengthening of captive vote bank. People are taking up this as challenge just because others are doing it. On other hand the political and religious chieftains who are spearheading this mass conversion of innocent people into zombies with mindless medieval irrationality, themselves exactly know the futility of religion and rituals because they have no fear of God or his disapproval of their own acts of befooling public in name of religion.

For politicians and faith charmers religion is a prank. For them urge to promote paramountcy of their current political and material gains is far more compulsive than to be seen as benevolent leaders or saints any time in future. They actually know and laugh at the gullibility and stupidity of the puppets they play craftily with. 

Civic manners: Why India is in contrast with rest of the world

Unless we let our false supremacy bloated egos not control our lives and accept what others show us from the mirror, we will remain a globally despised trash bin. A routine image search on today’s Rwanda would open our eyes as to how a most hopeless considered society could transform itself within two decades and is almost matching west in hygiene, cleanliness and infrastructure. One should check on urban life in Africa and Central Asia. One would feel ashamed how fast those economies are developing leaving us eons behind. Mongolia, even today for some Indians could be a remote tribal desert land. That opinion would get shattered watching city of  Ulan Bator which looks much advanced , clean and disciplined. Most importantly whole of central Asia , Europe, Americas are full of pristine natural beauty where mountains, lakes, rivers are left as nature built them. There are ravines and glaciers and snow capped beautiful wilderness. No where one sees these captured and sacked by local religious zealots. Here in India nature has been left with no significance of its own to be appreciated for.  Every single pond, lake, mountain, river, stream, steppe, cave has been turned into religious place of worship. Fresh new mythical stories are being weaved even today to justify this associative obsession. This empowers religious rituals to control daily lives of commoners who sadistically love to be slaves of charlatans calling themselves political and religious leaders but having zero calibre to lead people towards better community. These rituals don’t include good civic conduct or teach caring for common societal causes. We would wash temple premises in housing society every morning but would be okey with overflowing drain nearby. We are almost done being left incorrigible by world.
