From the Sociological perspective man is always bound to social relationships not only in the present time but also in the past time in their respective civilizations. With this simple reference that man has many responsibilities on his shoulders to be a good member in a society, for this he is deemed to be a social animal as beautifully quoted by *Aristotle* in his era with the remarkable understanding of social life for a man. To live in a strong harmony with others a man plays an important role in building up social integration. This gives an alluring embodiment to our society in terms of social values, norms and social equalities as well. Needless to say a man can live individually in a society if he parts with social relationships. In a society many members are working in different fields for the benefit of society as they act propeller to uplifting social development. So any member by profession a doctor or those having good skills in any field can also make headway for economic development. It is sure that this would definitely provide benefits to other individuals. They can uplift society from earth up to the sky in a best possible way. These members in the society play an important role not only in normal times but also in bad circumstances. So each member or we represent them in groups by having individual designations such as Teachers,Doctors etc; can bring development in every aspect in the society provided that they should have a deep feeling.

We all are aware of the current situation of the whole world from the day when there was an outbreak of COVID­19 in china. World renowned epidemiological centres in different developed and developing countries have come up with a great vigor for combating it as they have been largely affected by COVID­19. Even if they critically examined this viral disease in detail in the medical research leaving no stone unturned to trace out any serendipitous drug for treatment. But all efforts and hopes ended in smoke in searching out the drug for countering this disease. Later the world health agencies came on the global platform decided there and then to issuing medical advisories in order to save more and more lives of people. In their official statements, they mostly egg on to take preventive health measures for fighting the disease. The preventive measures include all these which can save our life in this bad situation. One of the preventive measures is *Social Distancing* which is already in the medical science is not a new concept. If there is an outbreak of any contagious disease and if anyone is infected with such disease. For, we must keep some physical distance from him/her so that we will not get infected. It has become a global health concern and each country in a bid to save people from infection and trying to minimize the number of deaths and positive cases. We can say such preventive measures somehow will decrease the scale of infection. In the medical field doctors are putting their best efforts day in and day out for serving the people who tested positive for COVID­19. This one group of society is working as doctors by putting their lives at stake in tough times for fighting against the Corona.

We all know that *Social Distancing* has taken up new heights in the present scenario. This slogan is being disseminated frequently not only through social media but is applying in real. It has gained ground from the last month but till now it is lingering on with the same momentum. It is being practiced in our homes and in the outside places but there is no harm of using this phraseology in homes or in the outside. We should comply with it as it is need of the hour. Let’s draw your attention a bit towards the other part of the same discourse which I want to enunciate so that we shall feel the essence of humanity and fraternity under the societal realm. By taking *Social Distancing* into consideration I think it is going now in reverse direction. Two weeks back I saw a video on social media where a lady was boarded in a car telling that she didn’t have corona infection but people were harshly maligning her that she tested positive. Isn’t it devaluing social values by blaming or vilifying someone without any medical report? This is truly a bad sense and uncivilized approach. It is maleficent so it can destroy the social values in this way. It is often said that when we learn new things for a particular time. Subsequently, we follow them in the future whether they have merits or demerits. Many experiments already have been conducted by different Psychologists who are dealing with the human behavior in bad and good times. Human nature is instinctively engraved with different forms so it is inclined to such untoward expressions which are quietly unexpected and unevaluated by human observations. It totally has taken U turn to show the hidden face Just like if I say anybody *STAY AWAY* from me in a disparage manner, wouldn’t he feel it repugnant? In addition we have many anti social elements in our society as they have been long roots to exist but one element among them for example *Prejudicing* on lower classes in the society. They are being looked down upon by others in every aspect. *Social Distancing* in the same may showing its new face to weaken the social values and principles of a common individual. In India we are still seeing Untouchability practice means *DON’T TOUCH ME* which dates back to (Brahmanism) *Chatur Varna* which divided population into four classes, viz Brahmins khastriyas vaishyas and Shudras. You might have even noticed that the corona infected victims are being bullied in some parts of the country. Recently our Muslim brothers who have attended events at the Tablighi Jamaat near a historic shrine in India’s capital. This is in front of our eyes that people are openly using expletives at them on the pretext of spreading corona in India. Nowadays same happens with the corona infected victims who are not being treated socially well by others. People fleeing from them and disdaining by      throwing out besmirch comments which is another act of devaluing someone’s respect.It is de facto that such maculate and disrespectful activities will suffuse in the society for further increasing the social stratifications. From the whole analysis of this discourse we realize that our society accepts everything which will either buttress it up or in breaking down its standardized structure. These deliberations truly justifying that society can also host nonstandard elements if they are being persistently practiced in a negative way. With the passage of time a society doesn’t matter to allow them to move from outside to inside to supplant the centre point for bifurcating the society due to unabated practicing on the nonstandard elements. Practice is a way which can easily flourish any element in the society. Such practices which are not being done in a proper  way may result in ruckus and disorderliness in the social system.*Social Distancing* shouldn’t try to penetrate its roots deep in the society that would later spread a hatred smell when it gets bloomed up. This should not spread as  a poison to violate our social values of a society. In Muslim community we have good social relations regardless of the caste, color, creed and which sect we are following but our Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him once said that A Muslim Is a Brother Of Another Muslim. Doesn’t it give an idea of fraternity; yes we have to follow his teachings in a pragmatic way and should not forget his teachings in regard to humanity and fraternity. Today we neither shake hands nor embrace with our brothers when they meet us on the way; In sha Allah tomorrow we do the same by minimizing the Social Distancing and  living a peaceful and prosperous life.
