To me, racial harmony means races(eg. Chinese) getting along well with another race(eg. Indian). Misunderstanding among the races can happen due to religion. Take the Maria Hertogh riots for example. The riots started because a dutch girl called Maria Hertogh was under the care of a Muslim woman named Che Aminah. Soon after, her parents found her and went to court to decide who would look after Maria. The court let her parents take care of her but many Muslims were not happy. Riots soon broke out. Rajah's idea was a very good as it could actually solve certain issues, but his idea could not be possible as everybody needs to have a race. To let other people from other races know each other better, we could let a race learn a new language. On Racial Harmony Day the school should make the pupils play traditional games and sing traditional songs.
