MODI SHOULD AWARD ZOMATO - RESTORING INDIA TO SAB KA SAATH
Zomato is setting the example of sab ka saath.
Most of us have cherished and desire to restore India to its golden era that existed while we were growing up. I appeal to the blind people consumed with hate for others that goodness always brings freedom, peace, and prosperity. Harassment, lynching, beating, raping, revenging and making other people's life difficult will make your own life miserable. It will not give you food or clothing, but misery. The blatant discord, lynching, and harassment of fellow Indians is going on unchecked, and this is not the character of India.
If the big corporations take a similar stand as Zomato corporation did, more good companies will start taking a stand. Corporations must keep the employees together and thus the nation together. More Indians will be happier when goodness surrounds them. It is our nature to rejoice when people get along within families, communities, and nations.
Mr. Modi should consider awarding Zomato for setting the genuine example of sab ka Saath, the public has already given the recognition for the do-good corporations.
None of the religions teach, yes, none of the religions teach to discriminate and make fellow humans miserable. If you hear bad things about a group of people or their religions, it is not true. Study the religions, they are beautiful. All of us are going to die in accidents or natural death, why live with hate for others, why not find mukti and live freely. When will our politicians, preachers, teachers, and parents stop poisoning our children? When our kids grow up, they will work with people of different faiths, races, cultures, and ethnicities, let's make their lives better, and enjoyable for them to work with different people. My kids went to every temple, mosque, gurdwara, church and synagogue in Dallas, thank God they have zero prejudice towards anyone, and the are happy with whoever they work with.
If you would like to understand the essence of real Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Bahai, and other faiths learn from its practitioners and not distorters who have been poisoned with hate instead of love, learn first hand from its practitioners. I will be organizing workshops in Dallas and DC - Please remember in Dallas we did 780 hours of Radio show - 104 hours each for Christianity, Hinduism and Islam and 52 hours on Sikhism, Bahai, Atheism, Buddhism, Jainism, and others. I had started the commercial radio in Dallas in 1996. And we did two sets of workshops on 12 faiths from Atheism to Zoroastrianism. The more people learn about the other, the freer they will be and live a much better quality of life. We are looking for sponsors for this program.

Man
cancels order over delivery person’s religion, Zomato wins hearts by taking
stand
A man cancelled his order on app-based food delivery service Zomato because the delivery person was from a different religion. But Zomato responded by taking a stand and is getting a lot of praise for it on social media.
A user of the app complained to Zomato about how the service had “allocated a non-Hindu rider” to deliver an order. He added that the company said “they can’t change rider and can’t refund on cancellation”. Infuriated with the cancellation charges, the man threatened the service with legal action.
“@ZomatoIN is forcing us to take deliveries from people we don’t want else they won’t refund and won’t cooperate I am removing this app and will discuss the issue with my lawyers,” the user tweeted.

The man also shared a conversation with the company’s helpdesk, which had wanted to know what the issue with the rider was.
“We have Shrawan and I don’t need a delivery from a Muslim fellow”, the man wrote in the conversation.
The company replied that the cancellation after the delivery person has picked the order would cost the user Rs 237. The user alleged that the company blocked him from accessing the details of his order on the site.
As the man’s complaint garnered attention, the company took to Twitter to reply: “Food doesn’t have a religion. It is a religion.”
Then company’s CEO Deepinder Goyal also weighed in with a tweet in which he stood by the company’s decision.
“We are proud of the idea of India – and the diversity of our esteemed customers and partners. We aren’t sorry to lose any business that comes in the way of our values,” he wrote.

The responses by the company and its CEO was liked by many, who also slammed the customer for his remarks. Many also observed that not getting food delivered by a person from another religion had no basis in Hinduism.

@ZomatoIN Pls do share our support to Faiyaz, the delivery guy. And permanently block this guy from your services if you really care about your delivery guys.
This isn’t the first time a service provider has been targeted over their religion. In 2018, a VHP activist’s tweet bragging about cancelling a cab booking because the driver was Muslim provoked outrage and condemnation.
