CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS

I side with the author’s issue that he has addressed that is, civilization between the Radical Islam and the western Diversity. I agree that the politicians’ and journalists idea of coming up with the clash of civilization event has been the major issue today. I would discourage the launch of this event as it has led to domination of more cultural and political conflicts mostly where there are situations of international relations.

I support the author’s point where he clearly outlines that this framework has led to segmenting the Western and the Islamic world into two separate camps. ¹ Following the author’s arguments, I would suggest that the academics and the politicians drop this issue of clashing civilization because it does not sometimes major on the issues that are central.

         I abide with the author’s assumptions of inconsistence and crudeness of these civilizational categories of people who are linked to occupations, literature, their respective classes, politics, languages and other affiliations. In my point of view, I as well agree with the evidence that he uses in this article that is, partitioning Indians following their culture and classifying them as Hindu Civilization which is not logic. This is because when these acquaints categorize Hindus, they forget the fact that Hindus has Muslims more than other countries except Pakistan and Indonesia ². With this evidence therefore, I would suggest that this civilization be prohibited from Indians. This is because it is futile when it comes to understanding their politics, music, food, literature and their Indian arts with absence of interactions extensively along those barriers that are formed by religious communities.

In my own opinion, following this article, I would say that the weakness in this theory lies in this program where people are allegedly classified and commanded in regards to their unique styles of classification. This is due because of inconsistency in this civilizational categories.¹

I find these arguments very important today as they clearly outline the pros and cons following these religious divisions. With a clear understanding of these texts, it is therefore, highly discouraged to absurd the false beliefs of partitioning religiously ¹. This will prohibit these political leaders from propelling and dividing us based on engulfing identities of our cultures and religions, and I suppose that there will be enhanced harmony and unity if this issue is put into consideration. ²
