On Jan 25, 2013 in the Lit Fest lyricist Javed Akhtar
claimed that he is an atheist but occasionally he has been seen as a Muslim
intellectual. Is he really an atheist? By the way, in the literary festival he said that ‘no religion gave
equality to women and weaker sections.’ Can he recollect any space where these
two groups enjoy better equality than religious realm? He is obsessed with film industry and perhaps he thinks that it is space where equality and justice prevail.
He also said
“all religious values should be based on justice and equality.” What does he
mean by justice and equality? Does he think both the terms are better defined
by narrow-intellectual human than the Creator of the universe? Can he claim justice
and equality are prevailed everywhere in the world and there is no violence of
these. Who is responsible for the implementation and violation of these values?
Creator or opportunist human?
Moreover,
every religion and ideology tries to establish an equal and just society. In this
regard rules are formulated. Unfortunately some opportunist creatures always
violate these rules for their interest. In the name of equality, freedom and
justice they exploit women and weaker section of the society. There is no need
of citing instance. One can see any time and anywhere.
In the
modern world democratic set up is considered as the best form of government. The
system is run by a constitution. Can anybody claim that the citizens of a
democratic country do not fall prey to injustice and inequality?
Remember! Religion
is the only authority which provides better justice and equality than another
else.
Widen your
knowledge and come out of illusive world then you will see what is justice and
equality and where they prevail.
