Even amid the process of being socially responsible as a country, our country was and is facing many problems like other nations. But based on a more sensible and responsible government and society, tireless efforts are always being made to deal with various internal issues. The issues of J&K can be prevented by the Govt being more sensible towards their problems. The "Look East Policy" of the Govt of India has contributed significantly towards the settlement of unrest prevailing in the eastern states. The Enclave Agreement with Bangladesh has been a more sensible move on the part of both Govts and has resolved the issue of grave concern peacefully.
Religion has always been the cause of riots and has provided an environment for intolerance in society and is a matter of concern nationally and globally. Be it Ayodhya or Jerusalem, religion has played its part and separated people from each other. The irony is that the one who preached to unite the world is now tearing the world apart! If we take a closer look at the different teachings of different religions, it can be understood that they all preach love and intend to spread peace. "Love your neighbor as yourself", says the Bible; "Worship the Merciful and spread peace", says the Quran; "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam", the Gita says, and "peace be found to those freed from angry thoughts," says the Buddha.
