"Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal."[b][/b] Excerpts from the famous speech of Swami Vivekananda at World Parliament of Religions,Chicago,1893. In today's scenarion doesnt it make any sense?

It is more relevant now than in 1893. A certain country is foremost in spreading this very same evil which has touched many nations. This country is at the root of this evil and if it is not controlled or eradicated then it can prove very dangerous for the entire world. I do not think i need name this country. Those who understand will know its name.Swami Vivekananda said "ARISE AND AWAKE!!". It is time all the nations of the world woke up and took timely steps to curb this evil.
