Dera Sacha Sauda and the recent violence



I have a problem when people talk of religion as a reason to fight. I mean why does a Guru Ram Rahim Singh have to strut around looking like Guru Gobind Singh?
He knew it would garner more publicity. And now, his bodyguards did not think twice before shooting one of the protesters. Why do these so-called 'spiritual leaders' decide that they are equal to some 500-600 years old spiritual leader? And above all, how on earth does a common man follow these fakies? A peace-loving leader would not roam around with a fully loaded gunman for once. He is a spiritual leader for God's sake! Give examples of peace and non-violence rather than cheap publicity.
The protesters who created ruckus in Central railway line in Mumbai are also to be blamed. But it will take some time for a common man to understand that such incidents are highly politicised and the best way for opponents to throw mud at the ruling party.
I will not be surprised if the protest becomes nation-wide tomorrow. And of course! In such cases never blame the police. They are all hand-in-glove with these protesters.

You are correct somewhere but the common man really don't cares about the poilitics. All they care is about the time being asted because of such stupid protests which are meaningless. It's correct you want justice but why at teh cost of disrupting other people lives?

I don't understand how come even educaed people give a place of God to any common man. People just follow these men blindly. WHats the use of their education if they cannot think and make decisions for themselves.
