The recent spate of violence in France and recent bomb blasts in Britain about being too politically correct regarding multi culturism are opportune moment to discuss this topic. Britain and France have got violence in return of their multi ethnics policies and environment. Multi Culture does not mean that you give any idiot the freedom to do whatever he likes in the subterfuge of his culture. First of all let us be very clear that despite all the utopian arguments all the citizens of a country are not equal. There are rich, there are poor, there is a majority and there is a minority. The first and foremost task of any immigrant is to adapt the host country as his new motherland and inculcate the same feeling and respect he has for his original birth place. Without the unquestionable devotion towards host country we cannot fix the problem of kids blowing themselves up and killing innocent people in the name of jihad. The recent spate of killing in France where "beurs" went berserk killing their countrymen had a deeper malaise than being a simple repercussion of economic inequality. Britain and France are probably the best example to quote of countries which are most tolerant and infact most open regarding multi ethnic cultures and religion. But then let us not pretend that everything is fine in these gestures. Unless the immigrants bring themselves into mainline these sort of violence would continue. The onus is on majority also to make their minority counterparts feel at home. But then deeper dwell into this mess brings up question that why should a majority be considerate towards minority which has immigrated to their country. The majority thinks that why can't minority stay where they are rather than coming to their place and taking away their jobs, increasing their population and exhausting their resources.The incidents like banning of a sikh play in Britain shows the audacity of the sikh community their to get up in arms against authorities. Though sentiments should be taken into account in multi ethnic places but then the sensitivities should be manageable and should not be an impediment towards work being done in those places.
