RELIGIOUS
INTOLERANCE
Seven Christian
missionaries were attacked allegedly by RSS workers at a Scheduled Caste colony
on Saturday in Kerala, for providing material
assistance to a Dalit family. This certainly
indicates a growing trend of religious intolerance in the country and in the
state. The missionaries were targeted allegedly for their attempt to proselytise Hindus. Hindu fundamentalist groups have been
active in the state for a long time and there have been many cases of violence
and breach of peace in the recent past. The acts of violence only discredit the
state of Kerala which enjoys the highest literacy
rate in the country. The concept of conversion through coercion has a
fundamental flaw, especially in a democracy, since citizens are endowed with
their own free will and have to decide about their choice of religion.
Moreover, unlike in a totalitarian system, they have a right to freedom of
expression to highlight coercion, if any.
