INTRODUCTION:-

Religion is a fundamental organization of the general public in society. Religion is a social framework that includes traditions, customs, and ceremonies.

The meaning of religion is defined by Durkheim which is acknowledged all over” Religion is brought together as an  arrangement of convictions and practice with respect to the holy thing which joins into one single good group.”

There are different types of religions existing in our society. Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Christianity, Islam, Parsi, etc. These religions clash with each as they have different customs, traditions, and opinions.


ROLE OF DIFFERENT RELIGION:- 

1-HINDUISM 

It is one of the religions that has been existing since “Indus valley progress”. In Hinduism, they worship Lord Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma, Ganesh, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Durga, and so on.

These above icons are considered as Gods and sanctuaries are the spots where symbols are kept. One of the greatest elements of Hinduism is the presence of the framework and the blessing of various Gods. Ramayana, Mahabharat, and Bhagwat Gita are great epics of Hinduism. 

There is no place for accommodation in Hindus. A person is considered to be Hindu when he/she is born. There are various laws that are formulated for converting their religion into some other religion. 


2-ISLAM

Established by Prophet Mohammed. They believe in God Allah & they do not have faith in icon worship. The spots where Muslim worship is known as Mosque” Mella” is a heavenly place for Muslims. Each Muslim watch fasting amid in the month of “Ramzan”.


3-CHRISTIANITY 

Established by Jesus Christ. “Bible” is considered as heavenly content for Christians. They do not have faith in icon worship. The spot worship is known as the church.


4-SIKHISM 

It is established by Guru Nanak Devji. They worship the “Guru Granth sahib” and the spot, where they worship, is known as Gurudwaras. 5 elements are considered to be important in the Sikh religion.  It includes 

Kada [bangle]

Kesh[hair]

Kirpan[sword]

Kacheri[underwear]

Kanga[comb]


They are not allowed to cut their hair as it is believed that it connects them with God. 

Religion has both negative and positive impact in our society-


The positive impact is as follows-

SOLIDARITY - Individuals have different religions and they distinguish themselves in religious gatherings.

SOCIAL CONTROL - Religion empowers to direct their behavior by following certain moral qualities and traditions.

PREMISES OF LAW - There are several laws that formulated for different religion Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain come under a common umbrella of Hindu marriage act section 125 CRPC.



NEGATIVE IMPACT OF RELIGION:- 

 The religion has brought numerous issues in India they are as follows-

REGULAR CLASHES Every individual with different religions considers their religion to be superior to others and they try to impose their religion on others which leads to regular clashes.

FANATICISM Each religion has an arrangement of conviction which might be superstitious frequently such thinking can obstruct the society to develop.


The present situation in India in case of religion is not satisfactory as so many clashes and chaos is created on the basis of the religion believing in needful and follows the tradition that they have imparted us with.


CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION:-

In my opinion, we should face religion clashes with a humanist face as each and every god has taught us that before religion, we are humans. In our country what is not letting us grow is religious clashes. The change begins from within and the thinking we all adopt.


LET’S FOLLOW THE SYSTEM OF 

“ONE NATION ONE CODE”

Why recycling should be necessary?

Why recycling should be necessary? ( by Neha Soni ) Why should we recycle? A question that is always around us but we fantastically ignore it. So why do we do that? Why don’t we recycle things or at least make some habits in our schools, colleges, or workplace that will segregate the recyclable products? The answer is simple- we are either not bothered or not have enough knowledge of the importance of recycling. Recycling is a process in which waste materials are converted into new materials and products. The new products which are formed are used, again get recycled and the cycle repeats. This is done to prevent excessive usage of raw materials and will help us in preserving the environment. Recycling is one of the main components of a waste management system and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste motto. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting staple inputs into recyclable waste outputs.   Products which can be recycled a

Human has sacrificed its natural resources for economic development from the period of human civilization to the trendy world. Within the evolutionary period of agriculture, people used the practice of slash and burn agriculture, commonly called Jhum cultivation, where farmers cut down the trees of the forest and burn the plant remains. The ash is employed as a fertilizer and therefore the land is then used for farming or cattle grazing. After cultivation, the area is left for several years to permit its recovery. The farmers then advance to other areas and repeat the method.
