“I truly believe that individuals can make a difference in society. Since periods of change such as the present one come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.”
Dalai Lama
Since human beings are imperfect, any human society they create is imperfect. Hindus and Muslims have lived together for over 1000 years. There have been times when several conflicts have taken place between both these communities but today time has changed. People used to think that we being Hindus have different kind of thinking or we face special kind of problems but that is not the case in real life, the truth is totally different. We eat, we drink, we think all the same even our tensions we have in our life are same as any other community.

Even making friends is not that big of an issue. When I was in school my friends were pretty comfortable with me. We used to hangout; we used to eat together and even have sleepovers. I don’t know the exact reason so as to why people even of my religion think that it is a big deal because my family is also friends with Muslims. We were born in this country so I guess religion should not matter much.
As far as terrorism is concerned, it exists for everyone here, be it a Hindu, Muslim or a Christian. Times have changed today and people have accepted the fact that nothing is wrong with being of a different religion. The generation today is very open minded towards these kinds of topics.
Pakistanis celebrate all kinds of festivals, such as Eid, Diwali, and Christmas. It makes no difference even if we are Hindus. Not only we but even my Muslim friends celebrate all the same festivals as I and we enjoy ourselves.
