Sitting opposite a couple of Hindu sanyasis at the Rajahmundry airport terminal, I said to myself... I'm not very different from them. Mostly a difference of religious affiliation.
Yet in a world that is so divided, we barely think of the similarities and often focus or harp on the distinctions. We prefer to stand out than stand with.
Our tendency to associate and seek the linkages is far weaker than our urge to disassociate.
Makes me think if this divisive urge is inherent in the character of religion or have we forced upon it.
