NEW DELHI, INDIA, July 18, 2003: Member of Parliament Dr. Karan Singh has written to all Chief Ministers and Vice Chancellors of around 100 universities in the country urging them to initiate inter-faith activities and to observe 2004 as “Interfaith Harmony Year.” In his letter, Dr. Singh said, “We are witness to events and trends around the world, as well as in India, that are distressing and alarming, as they have the potential to tear apart social fabrics and alienate communities from each other. To overcome these divisive tendencies, the world needs to move towards an inclusive culture of understanding that appreciates convergence in faiths, accepts the diversity of religious traditions and seeks to harmonize them.”
