Religion

I am not the one with lot of knowledge to talk about these things, but by observing what's happening around me for these many years, I think I could attempt to write this much.
Through the centuries religion had travelled a long path from 'The way of living ' to 'The hurdle of other's lives'. What is a true religiion? Why am I forced to follow a particular religion based on my birth? What ever may be our religion every one is proud of their own but are we really following our religion, our Dharma as we are thinking we are? Does our Dharma says to kill anyone just because he is not following the same one? What is our real Dharma? Humanity is the real dharma to be followed. In the movie 'DHARMA' this was heart touchingly portrayed. Some scenes are really commendable-- 'Surya Prakash ' hits a foreigner for stepping on to pooja flowers, at the same time another pandit takes off his feet from the same flowers'. Another one is when ' Karthikeya /Musthafa say "Shhhh! Babuji pooja kar rahe hain" for the second time in the movie'. I was moved by the little boy. I don't say that the entire system is a flaw, but there are flaws in the system and it's high time that we show attention to it and stop using the name of our great religion for such riots.
