This is a strange wish. Firstly, all people must follow own religion and also respect others' religions.
No one should disrespect other religions and faiths. In fact, Islam teaches Muslims to never put down the holy figures of other religions.
I feel you need to know more about the culture of this country, which is too vast.
Any Hindu or Muslim should follow own religion and there is no need to interfere in others' faith.

Still, Muslims always treat Rama and Krishna respectfully. As a child my father always used to chide me if I said Krishna or Rama.
He always asked me to say Krishna Ji and Ramchandra Ji. Unlike just Rama or Krishna as many of my Hindu friends used to say.
This concept of 'waza-daari' and the mutual respect of culture was part of Oudh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and all over Northern India including Bengal.
KS Sudarshan may not be aware of it as he hails from a different region. It is not just cultural reason or because we are living in India among Hindus, but also as per our religious beliefs, our neighbours and other faiths' religious figures are not to be disrespected.
The Holy Quran says that Allah sent messengers to all lands, to all people and amongst all religions. How is it possible that he didn't send them to India? Does RSS have an idea about the culture that existed for centuries in India.

In fact, Muslim poets used to write poetry praising Krishnaji and Hindus wrote 'na'at' in praise of Prophet Muhammad. This was not for sake of any social responsibility or show off. But for one's inner self, beliefs and the true feeling of respect towards the great and reverential figures.
The right-wing fellows would never appreciate this because I dout they read Hasrat Mohani's verses or Mohsin Kakorvi's 'Simt kashi chala jaanib-e-mathura baadal...' which are in Urdu.
In India, many ordinary Hindus continue to observe Muharram despite the rise in anti-Muslim rhetoric. So what if you consider going to Dargah as a 'Muslim practice, Hindus continue to go to Sufi saints' graves, though even sections of Muslims now avoid going to mazaars.
Hate never succeeds in real sense. The RSS has a huge cadre. They should try to reach out to Muslims. Why don't they go to Muslims, meet Muslims, increase the level of interaction with the minorities? Learn about Islam and Muslims with an open mind.

This would be a real step towards integration. Those with right-wing allegiance-- Hindutva groups use harsh language for Islam. You talk about ghettoisation but ever raise voice about the fact that section of Jains and Gujarati Hindus [housing societies] stop Muslims from buying flat in their areas?
