The word prejudice really has two parts: Pre means before, and judice means to judge. So the word prejudice means to judge something before you know much about it. There are many examples in history of people judging other people before they know much about them. For example, during World War II, when America was at war with Japan, many Americans pre-judged all Japanese Americans as our enemies. In our Country some people pre-judged RSS [राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संघ] as a Terrorist group without knowing about its contribution during the natural disaster.

During my childhood I saw many sadhus in my home town as it is a holy place. But I was not much familiar with their activities. In the north side of my home there are some big ashrams for sadhus. They woke up early in the morning around 4 o'clock and chant the word 'soham'. They also sang a song whose wording was some thing like that: " uth jaag mussafir bhor hua ab rein kha jo sovat hai, jo sovat hai vo khovat hai, jo jagat hai vo pavat hai ......." I also woke up early in the morning for study, so I also enjoyed this song parallel to my study.
