The Hindu : Opinion / Lead : The rising menace of intolerance

The Hindu : Opinion / Lead : The rising menace of intolerance

Should the word tolerance be used at all to describe human relations? Wouldn't understanding be a better word? Adherence to diversity in unity would be something that civil libertarians fought for. Globalization whilst developing proximity, it is also exposing awareness on divergence and making humans more insecure about their own believes and value systems. More so today, acceptance of this divergence, void of self reference criterion has become a challenge in maintaining sensibility of human relations. Convergence may seem and easy way out, but it has become equally disarray with cross continent human mobility. Thus instead of TOLERANCE I would believe contextual AWARENESS and UNDERSTANDING may pave the way for greater HUMAN CAMARADERIE.
