Utopia of universal peace and amity is worth chasing: Gandhi at 150

Summary:

When Tigers were fighting both Sri Lankan forces and also Indian peace keeping forces, did it mater what religion did they profess? Sri Lankan tragedy brings into sharp focus why dialogue on peace e and non-violence must never be muted. How do we bring focus on peace and amity in the light of fast spreading virus of labelling and stigmatising whole communities because of the acts of a few? I must pray for all living beings, Sarve Bhavantu sukhinah…Can we go to the roots of most basic humanitarian beliefs in each religion and invoke them to bring peace, forgiveness, solidarity and social amity. Let us remember that the poorest need peace most and yet they are mobilized to participate in the violent acts often around the world, exceptions apart..
