Rss and bjp are polarizing people on name of religion,this incident is a bolt on India democracy
Why blaming rss bjp only? Each and every party is busy doing it..taali ek haath se nhi bajti bhaiya..owaisi bhai saab ko bhool gye aap? Just hoping it shud not get worse but the thing is both sides are equally involved..
From the wall of Srijan Pal. "refrigerator vigilantism" of this sort is a dark spot on tolerance ...
I am a Hindu by birth, born in the city of Lucknow known for its Muslim architecture and its food, largely Oudhi.
I worked with a boss, thrice my age, who was born as a Muslim, and in a place, Rameshwaram which is largely known as a Hindu pilgrimage site.
He grew up as a strict vegetarian and I have been for most part of my life a non-vegetarian. Imagine what it would be like when the two of us would dine together, something which happened hundreds of times. One may think the strict vegetarian boss would prevail, and the food would all be according to the wishes of the President. Not true at all! Despite the fact that he would strictly stay away from the non-vegetarian dish, he would ask the servers to give me (and anyone else who consumed meat) the “funny things” (his expression for all non-vegetarian food). Then he would ask, “Are you enjoying? Smash Smash!!”
And of course there were some dining table malfunctions. Seeing the non-vegetarian dish on the table, and perhaps wrongly assuming by our respective religions, at a few occasions the service assistants would enthusiastically begin serving meat on my boss’s plate… thankfully he would always spot the error and correct it!
But even with these potential dining table gaffes, he never stopped others from their food preferences. To me this dining table was our point of not just tolerance, not just respect for other’s preference but a step further – it was a celebration of other’s choices – even at some discomfort to self. And to be honest it came from the senior, the greater and the wiser man. Tolerance is a sign of greatness not surrender, it expands our relationships and not squeezes our identities.
PS: Request not make this post as a political or religious debate point. It is purely on the ideology of tolerance and dangers of mob justice over moral policing
And further afterthought, not far from Dadri, maybe 10 km is Nithari ... the place where a duo ate human meat and justice is yet to be delivered in that case.

And that is the solution to all this bro. When you know a person from the other community, you realize that he/she is the same as you!
1. All problems start when people start stereotyping. 2. People stereotype when they do not interact with the other community, in school, college, neighbourhood. 3. People don't interact when artificial cultural and religious barriers are created and enforced.
4. And all this stereotyping leads to disastrous consequences for the minority. And the minority stay away, stay together, are afraid to interact, leading to urban/rural ghettos (which rural India is so familiar with), and further segregation. And thus propagating a vicious circle.
Very sad. People who encourage this are the most evil people who are alive.
If any God agrees it is right to kill a fellow human, that is not a God, that is the devil.
