RELIGION OF BROTHERHOOD AND
EQUALITY
Discrimination of inequality between man and man
is continuing since time immemorial. In the past, it
was due to influence of superstition. People had
various superstitious beliefs which justified the
theory of inequality and division. They believed
that white races were created with superior
elements, while the blacks with inferior ones. Hence
the notion of superior and inferior races was
considered natural and justified.
The modern age has, however, proved this concept
to be totally baseless. Inquiry and analysis of facts
revealed that beliefs of racial inequality were
imaginary and mythical. Several books have been
written on the subject with scientific reasonings.
The
Race Question in Modern Science,
by J. Comas (1956)
is one of the important books in this regard.
