Question

How religious discrimination can be prevented?

Answer

Preventing religious discrimination:

(i)Perhaps one way of preventing religious discrimination is to work together for mutual enlightenment.

(ii)Education is one way of helping to change the mindset of people. Individual examples of sharing and mutual help can also contribute towards reducing prejudice and suspicion between communities.

(iii)It is always inspiring to read stories of Hindus saving Muslims or Muslims saving Hindus in the midst of a deadly communal riot. But it is unlikely that mere education or the goodness of some persons will eliminate religious discrimination.

(iv)In modern societies, states have enormous public power. How they function is bound to make a crucial difference to the outcome of any struggle to create a society less ridden with inter-community conflict and religious discrimination.
