TheSupreme

continued--Humans had been living scattered in different places of the world ; they developed their own way of living having dissimilar food habits ( depending mostly on climatic conditions and the availability of food ), different languages with different idiosyncrasies but with the common perception of the existence of several authorities in charge of different departments of nature and its products along with the authorities of different parts of physical and mental bodies of the humans. These authorities have come to be known as gods, each god was responsible for working of different part or department. The images of these gods were conceptualized , given forms with soils and later on  carved on stones with name for each of them and placed in clean and best place of their residence for due worshiping . Many such idols in different parts of the world have been found and some of them found places in well kept museums, some left to be destroyed in open nature, some willfully destroyed by humans themselves and some are yet to be retrieved . The most remarkable thing  is that though these early humans had been living at quite long distance apart with hardly any communication, they happened to hit upon imagining these gods almost with same idea differing however in figures and postures. These idols speak so much of antiquity of early humans but not many are interested to know and explore them and on the contrary brush them aside by blaming them as idolaters. It may not be out of place to mention in this connection that idol worship is still being continued in some places in the world and notably the India-Pakistan subcontinent tops the list in this regard ; the matter does not end here as the idol worship is now being done by the immigrant population ( mostly Indians ) in many countries of the world including Europe and Americas. The idol worship has been termed as the national celebration and rendezvous of all the people not only in the subcontinent but also in the countries abroad for the immigrants.  (..to continue...)
