Another controversy has aroused
after “Yoga” has been announced to be a compulsory part of education for
Central Govt. schools. There is no doubt about the advantages of Yoga. It will
provide you with better health and peaceful mind. One of the leaders of Vishwa
Hindu Parishad (VHP) had said that all those persons who do not want to
practice Yoga should go to Pakistan! We can see a lot of statements like this
now a days.
If Yoga is against the beliefs of any region,
that matter should be taken care of, before declaring it as ‘a compulsory’ part
of syllabus. Going to Pakistan is not the solution. Yoga is for making a peaceful mind. If some
of them think that any part of yoga, is against their beliefs we cannot expect
them to learn it with peaceful mind. Let them learn what they learn. Govt.
should spread advertisements and make them aware of the advantages.
Some of them argued that it is a
part of the Hindu Agenda of the Govt. The statement made by the VHP
leader adds fuels to the opponents. Ban on beef, introduction of Hindu
religious text books etc. have already created some sort of issues.
India, a country of cultural
differences, has travelled a lot from the days of religious issues. But it
seems like everything is going back. Leaders must take care of their words,
because it can cause huge influences on either side.
