In our present scenario people have become very much
socially active. People like to interact with their
neighbors, colleagues, friends and family members.
Gone are the days when people were apprehensive in talking
to people. We are living in a social structure which
is very active and we have broadened our viewpoints.
We all are aware of our rights and duties towards our
society and we are not hesitant to perform those either.
I believe we are living in a very flexible society which is
ready to accommodate everyone in it. We all are
aware of resources available to us and we all do make use of
them. We have become aware and hence we are not
apprehensive to utilize our physical or moral resources available to us.
There were times when women from Muslim community would always
remain in veils and they were not even allowed
to talk to men other than their husbands. The present scenario
has changed and now Muslim women have not only
shunned their fanatic beliefs but they are also excelling in
various fields. We have an example of famous
tennis star Sania Mirza. It certainly does not mean that they
have gone against their religion but they are
utilizing the resources which are available to them. We all are
citizens of a nation and every citizen has
equal rights and nobody can be deprived of any right in the name
of religion. There were times when due to
caste system people were ready to kill each other but in the present
day world we are not only accepting people
from different castes and creed in our society but also giving them same opportunities.
Although, it is good to make use of resources available to us but we
should not be forgetting that at times
it is important to abide by some restricted values of the society. No
matter how much we excel in our respective
fields but we can certainly not stop respecting our elders. Again if
a religion bans the consumption of certain
food or drink then it would be wise to accept to an extent it is possible.
It is not possible for us to shed our
old values and beliefs. The Parsi community in India is still following
it age old values and cultural beliefs.
If they would have forgotten and left their beliefs then there would not
have been enough Parsis in the country. At times we need to accept others
as they are and we should not try to change or amend them.
Therefore, it is important that we live in a flexible society and make the
best possible use of the resources
available to us. At the same time we should not stake our principles and values for
it. We are the free citizens
of a country and it is in our hands what we want. Thus, we should exercise the right
of making the best possible
use of our resources and not only in crisis should we put them to use.
