I have felt and understood the pain of the black people, the agony of those who have gone through such horrible experiences only because they had black skin. This discrimination according to colour is so common everywhere that one fails to understand how human beings, even on individual basis, are also so conscious of their colour and complexion.

If anyone insults or makes fun of a person because he has black skin it is a very big crime against God Almighty. It is God who has created this variety and when people use this variety to create disparity and an atmosphere of superiority, they don’t know that they commit a sin which cannot be forgiven by the divine. Nobody has the right to insult or to look down upon anybody because one has got a different colour of skin.

As a result of this continual harassment, black people have become extremely violent. This violence can be justified but it is not a very good thing to have.

For example, Indians do not take to heart the racial insults which they suffer in the Western countries. They consider this to be a part of the game if you are an immigrant. They normally form their own groups and keep out of touch with the whites, known as “Goras”.

If one has to think of the future world and of the progeny we have to really go all out to end this hatred between the whites and the blacks. To cure this evil, I don’t know what is being done at the United Nations level. One has to realise that the biggest problems facing humanity arise from this hatred generated by racialism. Maybe one day the fundamentalists may be pacified and we may see the light of peace in their hearts. But this kind of cheap, superficial mental approach towards other human beings is very difficult to change. Once these whites are enlightened and are blessed by the light of the Spirit they will know that all human beings are the creations of God Almighty and there is no need to hate anyone because God is truth and God is love.

It is a very immoral thing to hate someone. In India, we do not say to another person: “I hate you.” Speaking such words would be very unmannerly and unsocial, even immoral. In the Western societies there is no objection to the use of any kind of language. Whether they are Ambassadors, Ministers, Presidents or the Prime Minister, some of them use very low level language, without any consideration as to what is inauspicious.
