In a country, where many people are trying their best to eradicate social discrimination and bring equality and unity; there are few racist and narrow- minded people who do not want to rise above casteism and are still fighting in the name of religion.
In a similar incident, actress
Soha Ali Khan became a victim of religious discrimination.
Like any other Bollywood celebs who visit various Ganpati pandals (Hindu God Ganpati's stall), Soha too had been to receive the blessings of the Lord. Little did she know that her pure intentions will land her in trouble.
Soon after that, people on the social media started slamming her with hateful comments for praying to a Hindu God even after being a Muslim. Some of the tweets read:
Instead of getting disheartened by the trolls, Soha took it bravely and gave a classic reply to all the discriminators.
She posted: "MY RELIGION IS MY BUSINESS ALONE. WHETHER I CHOOSE TO DO NAMAZ OR GO TO A CHURCH, HOW DOES IT AFFECT ANYONE? PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BOTHER ABOUT WHAT'S NOT THEIR BUSINESS."
"I AM ALL FOR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, BUT BEING TOLD HOW GOING TO A TEMPLE MAKES ME A NON-MUSLIM IS PLAIN CALLOUS. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT. I AM NOT A COMMODITY AND SO, A PARTICULAR COMMUNITY CANNOT OWN ME. OUR SOCIAL FABRIC IS SO RICH BECAUSE WE ARE DIVERSE. RESPECT EACH OTHER'S CHOICES."
At the end, we would just like to give one message: "For once let's forget what caste or religion we belong to and lets stand together as Indians, maybe then our world would be a better place to live in."
