Sad reality?
While one
side of India is fully into politics and election, the other side is always
into spread of hate, terror and crime. India is beautiful, all of it; Indians
are beautiful, not all of it. While the global warming, climate change and
terrorism is putting the dark shade in the world from one end; racial
discrimination, Caste discrimination, gender inequality and religious biasness
is hitting the society from another end.
It's not wrong
to start this sentence by, "A Normal day in India". This is a recent news from rajasthan, India.
A sick house in rajasthan is in controversy these days for spreading religious
discrimination. This hospital started a new trend (rather FAD) in their labor
room by playing gayatri Mantra. Yes, you heard it right. The sick mind of this sick
house is not just to introduce religious chaos inside the hospital but also to
discriminate the other people from different religions, rather than Hinduism.
Why this
religious crime?
The chief medical and health
officer (CMHO) of sawai Madhopur on Tuesday told one of the reporters of a renowned
newspaper company, times of India(TOI), that , "we are playing gayatri
mantra in the labor room of our district hospital. We will soon expand it to
all the 20 labor rooms at other health centre in the district," said Dr
Tejram Meena. "If a woman listens
to gayatri mantra, she does not feel the pain of labor, "he added. The
mantra is being played at siroha district hospital's labor room for more than a
year.
In another hospital of Udaipur
too, preparations are going on to play gaayatri mantra in the labor room,
"said Dr Ashok Aditya, the reproduction and child health officer of
Udaipur district.
What
the Health ministry has to say about this?
State
health department officials have a very different story to tell. Avoiding the
responsibility is in the blood of humankind, and that we saw here too. The
officials said that they aren't really aware of the incident. Also, they've not
instructed the district officers to play any religious music in the hospital.
The state government indeed sent some healing and meditation sounds to play in
the labor room to help the women overcome their pain. Officials also promised
that the verification about this matter will be done right away.
Effect of this
Incident to other people from different religions:-
Some
Muslim activists begun to protest against this practice. "According to
Islam, the first voice to go in the ears of a newborn should be Azaan,"
said one of the protestor- against this move. This incident has drawn the ire
of Muslim activists in the state. This created a chaos between Hindus and Muslims,
yet one more time.
People in our country always want to create chaos and have fights even if the reason is extremely silly.
ReplyDeleteFor me be it Azaan or Gayatri mantra, I'm totally cool with it. Any literate sane person would be. There is no reason to have a chaos! I absolutely find it silly.repsect every religion because that's where we get our moral values from.
world needs to see these kind of responses; beautiful thoughts. :)
