To believe or not

Wonderful statement by Javed Akhtar 

If one person believes in a lie, he is a fool. If ten crore people believe in a lie, it is a religion!

I would like to make a small change here. If 10 crore people believe in a lie, they are Indians. 

Because we have been taught to not question. Anything.


Though I do not completely agree with Mr Akhtar . I have seen so many common men and women who are religious but good and intelligent too. They  value both their God and humanity.

Religion for many of us ( women - middle aged and middle class) is some non-existing thread to hold on to. Though we know it is semi myth, we would rather believe in this that accept the hopelessness of the situation. (And try to fix it)
