Why does Patriarchy have a caste but terrorism has no religion?

We all together started a movement to not let people target and oppress innocents of one religion due to the acts of criminals and terrorists because it is unfair to them.

But seems like with the passage of time our society ironically has found its own ways to oppress innocents of a caste/religion because according to them, they are patriarchal.

This is something that is being practiced by the majority of youth population in the country and it is necessary that we accept it because by such acts, our upcoming generation is not only creating a divide and bias between castes, religion but actually doing what they earlier preached against.

99% of terrorists in the world belong to a religion but to relate the religion is completely wrong as Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu also recently stated that ‘terrorism has no religion’. If we could embrace his message which has already been said by a million others then why are we as a society repeating the same to a caste?

We need to understand that it is no one’s fault to be born in any religion or any caste and to judge them by their patronymic identity is the most toxic trait any individual could ever have. Something that should have been said long ago.

Imagine placing yourself on the other end as a receiver of abuses, slurs, harassment, suppression just because you were born in a particular religion or caste which according to the society doesn’t qualify for the norms of a ‘normal citizen.’

It will be difficult for the people of our society to accept it but the harsh truth is not all Dalits are oppressed, not all Brahmins are patriarchal, not all Muslims are terrorists, not all whites are supremacists and not all Blacks are criminals.
