WE ALL ARE COMMUNAL ?

These are the two incidences which I am sharing with all of you, after reading this you will also feel the same way as I felt at that point of timee communals.
Incedence -1 : I was coming from Jaipur to Delhi by bus in 2004,august. Since the weather was bad and wind was blowing at speed so I wraped my chunni around my face & head. A muslim family was sitting at the back of my seat, by seeing my dressing sense they thought that I am a muslim.But as the bus enter the delhi border the weather changed and I uncovered my face from duptta. At that time I was wearing a locket on which "OM" word was engraved.By seeing that "OM" the muslim family gave me a look as they were cheated by me & their face was giving an impression that they thought of some friend and someone came out as unpleasent one.

Incedence -2 : This time i was going to Katu Shyam ji's mandir from Jaipur to Khattu in march,2008 . This time also I wrapped the duptta around my face to save it from wind.I came from temple after "darshana" and while I was taking my seat in bus I over heared that a lady seating in front of me was telling to her fellow lady that see I thought that she is a musalmani but when I saw her in temple then it was clear that she is a hindu.
Conclusion: I felt very bad , come to the concluion that we all are communal.

I cant say about all but yes, indian people have got a communal mentality. And one of the reason is that we are living in a multicultural country. We Indians dont have anything common which can unite us. People do stand for a community, not for entire nation. Gujjars look for gujjars, kasmiris back kashmiris, raj thhakrey favours only for marathhis, muslims unite only for muslims, women backs women tamil speaking looks for tamil speaking and many more. We do see all this in news. Even political structure has become communal. People of france are french, of england are english, of usa are americans. But do we really say that we are indians, except on independence day or republic day. In majority of nations, people have something common to stand for. It could be language or relegion or race or anything. but what do we have to stand unite. Is it cricket? but once the game is over, we are communal again.
