Religion does a remarkable job of policing the society.
India is still a relatively safe place only because a vast majority of the billion people have faith in God. Given the sparse and that too corrupt police, no self respecting Indian is enamored by the ‘majesty of law’.
‘Love of God’ went out of fashion after Meera’s era to be replaced by ‘Fear of God’.
God’s retribution, either in this life or the next [depending on one’s philosophical outlook], is what restrains the mainstream Indians from sinning.
That’s why I endorse Sharon Stone’s take on the China earthquake as ‘karma for Tibet’. I don’t think even a nuclear threat can have such a chastising effect.
Kushboo missed a quote op when the tsunami hit the TN shores!
