Conflicts are nothing but a clash of institutions in different wavelengths, when we become unreasonably protective to one norm and institutionalize it and that too because it seemed to be beneficial in a particular context and time.Institutions should be referred to as a guideline with a healthy scope for evolution. Man`s his"story" had been nothing but a story of defense and offence for some or the other institution for instance religious, regional, ethnic etc( there are numerous like that). Problem is not in ideological conflicts rather when it is mixed up with hard emotions arising out of Egoistic turbulences.
Religion for instance teaches certain norms which is standard for human being to maintain their "human ethos". As I understand all religious texts have the similar objectives. There seems no fundamental difference in terms of its purpose of existence. So, why these clashes are there? Right from earlier crusades to modern day riots, it’s been ridiculous on the part of the man. Isn`t it like for the same purpose if I speak Chinese in a Spanish speaking country, I will be hanged till death only for the mere reason that they don’t understand Chinese?
So where exists the root cause for all these? I think we can trace back its root cause in the group dynamics of human beings. The "cohesion" within a group which also can be defined as state where every individual interest are met to the fullest and with least effort, is the fundamental cause which along with many other factors co creates ethnocentrism of its own kind. Sadly, this ethnocentric behavior of man, which today has proliferated itself in many forms and dimensions, is institutionalized as paramount.
One can see its effects in the verdict which is coming out tomorrow. The whole purpose of religion seems to have lost somewhere and what is left is the power struggle between the two communities.
Undoubtedly, the patriarchal nature of religion arising out of personal interests reveals its true face. Sadly, today it’s no more religious in fundamental terms, rather a gruesome clash of two institutionalized egos.
