We live in a world where large majorities feel threatened by small minorities and hence loud certainties and quick judgments are rewarded. Tolerance is mistaken for weakness. To tolerate is seen as to yield, to compromise, or worse, to remain indifferent. The relevance of teachers like Sree Narayana Guru [1856-1928] can never be exaggerated in such a world. Born into a low caste of a rigidly stratified society in Kerala, Guru did not respond to injustice with bitterness or retaliation.
