Answer -
Yes, I agree with the statement because:
- Peace has occupied a central place in the original teachings of religions which has been advocated by various philosophers like Mahatma Gandhi, etc.
- Peace is an essential ingredient to establish democracy with two basic principles freedom and equality and justice and human rights.
Social inequalities and wrong practices of caste, religion, language may produce large scale evil consequences:
- Sometimes, traditional caste system treats some peoples тАШuntouchablesтАЩ, hence тАШpeaceтАЩ is meaningless for these people.
- Discrimination against women also given birth to female foeticides, inadequate nourishment and education to girl child, child-marriage, dowry, sexual harassment at the workplace, rape and honour killing.
- Racial discrimination also continues in the west and directed against immigrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America.
- The labour class which face the conditions to be paid low wages and ill-working conditions also no meaning for peace.
