I'll not be able to give solutions to the problems but will atleast start a quest to find them. And will urge people to stop hating each other on different grounds such as caste, creed, sex, religion etc. but try to find better ways of living and progressing together.

For last few days I have been listening about the protests that are going against the release of the movie, Da Vinci Code. It is being said that the movie potrays christ in wrong sense and should not be released.

I thought both ways.

Had the movie potrayed any God of the established religions in India in bad sense, would our religious leaders allowed it to release?? There would've been big protests and bandhs. But as christians are in minority, our country doesn't care much.(Here I am talking only about India) And then we say that it is a secular country.

Thinking in another way, the movie is a work of fiction and no body exactly knows the truth. If Christians feel that Da Vinci Code is against Bible the isn't Bible against Da Vinci Code and shouldn't it also contain a warning that it is a pure work of fiction as it is very clear thst Bible was written by Men??

I am not supporting any side here as both have there own reasons, but personally i'm really looking forward to the movie as enjoyed the book a lot and will surely watch it first day first show.

There was also a big hue and cry against the paintings of M.F. Hussien. It was said that he disrespected India by painting Bharat Mata nude. Will someone ask these people that how do they think that India wears clothes. We are sent into the world naked, that all the variations of the blood might be made visible. However trite, I cannot avoid quoting here the lines of the most deep-thinking and philosophical of our poets:

We understood Her by her sight: her pure and eloquent blood Spoke in her cheeks, and so distinctly wrought, That one might almost say her body thought. Its a work of art and please take it as that.

From all this it is very clear that India still has a long way to go to become a place where a person is allowed to think logically and speak his mind.
