Tolerance which is the intrinsic characteristic feature of Indian culture and civilization is unfortunately waning and it is a cause of grave and serious concern to the political parties , government and the general populace .From very ancient times the quality and doctrine of tolerance guided us and it formed part of our life and whole governance and we should protect this intrinsic beauty of our nation at all costs and if it required any sacrifice, we should be prepared for this and should never let down it in any circumstance .The bane and politics of intolerance and the hatred has become the reality and fashion of the 21st century India .It is the irony that everything and each thing is unfortunately politicized by the cunning politicians purely for vote bank politics and appeasement policy .Therefore the culture of intolerance has come to stay in the country thank to the appeasement and vote bank policy of the politician .The culture and climate of intolerance is alien to our culture and we should maintain distance from intolerance because we are the inheritors of the much needed tolerance which we have inherited from our ancestors and we should protect and guard it from collapsing and vanishing from our lives .The bane and politics of intolerance has affected our co existence and mutual brotherhood .The creed of intolerance is threatening our secularism and pluralism, the Hindu-Muslim amity and unity and therefore we should not allow the culture of intolerance and hatred to flourish in India as it is against our age old values of Vhasudav Kutumbkam which means whole world is one family and it is centre to all our endeavors and is the theme of our cultural heritage .Therefore the people should not allow the creed and culture of intolerance to invade our individual, collective and social life.

The culture of intolerance gives birth to the cult and practice of hatred in the society and as such it should not be allowed to pollute our religious tolerance .We as the responsible citizens of the world,s largest secular democracy of India should resolve to protect the doctrine and practice of tolerance for the flourishing of the secularism and co-existence .The cult and creed of intolerance has damaged our secular and plural tenets and therefore the cult and culture of intolerance should not be allowed to invade our secular polity and our collective life .So it is our responsibility to guard much valued principle and practice of tolerance and we should do everything possible to uphold the doctrine and practical applicability of tolerance in our volatile society which is susceptible to communal discord and communal disharmony due to the growing cult and creed of intolerance .The politics of intolerance is eating our vitals and it has given a big setback to our secularism and pluralism .India was famous the world over for its doctrine and distinguishing feature of tolerance and it is tolerance which distinguishes us from the world .The growing intolerance is the biggest threat to secularism ,pluralism and mutual brotherhood .Therefore we should protect the doctrine and practice of tolerance and never allow the intolerance to grow in our volatile society which is multi religious ,multi lingual and multi culture .The creed of intolerance is totally alien to our culture and age old legacy of mutual coexistence and therefore it has not place in the country and as such growing cult of intolerance is unacceptable to the countrymen and it should be nipped in the bud .
The growing creed and cult of intolerance is an assault on our great culture and thus we should sincerely work to uphold the doctrine and practice of tolerance so that we continue to be respected the world over .The cult and creed of intolerance is eating our vitals like a terminate and this politics of intolerance should be discouraged so that the true secularism and composite cultural legacy will flourish for the spread and strength of the secular values where which are so dear to us all and we should protect tolerance and mutual brotherhood. We should protect it at all costs for flourishing of the Hindu –Muslim unity and amity in our volatile society where today at the drop of the hat Hindu –Muslim disturbances take place and so it is our constitutiona, religious as well as the moral duty to take necessary steps to uphold much valued tolerance which is the foundation of our multi –religious society .It is very sad and unbecoming that the cult of intolerance is gaining ground across the country and giving a big setback to our cherished values and principles of Sarva Dharma Sambhava and Vasudav Kutumbkam which are the very foundation of our land .Therefore we should protect ,follow and guard the cult of tolerance for the flourishing of our secular and plural fabric .Since secularism and pluralism is very basic and is the foundation stone of our multi –religious country and the growing intolerance is a threat to our national cohesion and integrity .It is very sad that the minority community is becoming more and more intolerant and its radicalized youth are spreading communal hatred in the country .Besides this they are killing the members of the majority community in most brutal way which needs to be stopped for the good of the country. The radicalized youth of the Muslim and Hindu community are indulging into hatred and the radicalized elements of both the communities resort to intolerance which is very shocking. It follows that intolerance is gaining ground and momentum across the country and it poses a big threat to our secular and plural democracy.
We as the responsible members of the society should play our positive role to further the cult and culture of tolerance which we have inherited from our forefathers so that our secular democracy is strengthened .But alas in the country the atmosphere of intolerance is growing which is very unfortunate as it is an open assault on the democracy and secularism. The culture of intolerance is threatening communal harmony in the country and to fight the monster of Intolerance is a big challenge for the government and the people alike .We should not allow the demon of intolerance to destroy the secular character of the country and should fight the intolerance to finish. The intolerance is taking deep roots across the country and it is thus cause of big concern to the people and the government .The culture and bane of intolerance should be fought with the great resolve so that the culture of tolerance is restored in the country as intolerance has done damage to the secularism and our plural ethos .Thus no leniency should be shown with the politics of intolerance as it is a big enemy of communal amity and as such should be fought to ensure the triumph of the spirit of tolerance which is the essential ingredient of our composite culture .To conclude it should be noted that the intolerance is a big bane and not a boon and thus should be fought to restore the culture of tolerance which is the need of the hour .Thus all of us should work sincerely to protect much valued and much needed tolerance so that secularism and pluralism will grow and flourish for the growth of Ganga-Jammni-Tehzeeb .Therefore, we should resolve to protect much needed tolerance for ushering an era which is free from the demon of intolerance and hatred.
