CLASH FOR IDENTITIES

CLASH FOR IDENTITIES

The question of religious identity is still hounding many parts of the world. Arab world, Israel, Africa , Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Iran, Turkey and most recently India and some other parts are facing so many violent obstacles in their way which are manly due to their quest for singular existental identity in religion. Even the clash between Europe and North America on one side and the Muslim world on the other side has issue of  religious identity  as main source. Till one decade ago India despite her vastness was used to be considered as a balanced democracy but events unfolded in the current decade have changed both reality and perception about India  among Indians and international community alike. Now India is seen as a country still struggling to find a place in the history and not in the future like the so called Islamic World. By and large only Europe, North America and China are a few countries who have crossed this boundary of religious identity though major parts of these three entities are facing other identity crisis in the form of racial conflicts. 

    Thus the issue of Ethnic Identity has made the world a very disturbed planet where despite all resources of agencies of progress more destruction are being inflicted only to satisfy the test of Ethnic Identity. Existence of more conflicts for such ethnic identies have been providing fertile land for spread of authoritarian regimes. Decline in democracy's clout can be assigned to the conflicts for ethnic identities as within such countries where sense of ethnic identity is strong people come in favour of such leaders who can win over people of enemy identities.
