RELIGIOUS PLURALISM

Abstract

Indian Society is distinguished for its diversity of cultures, languages
and religions. This pluralistic feature has been woven in the very
fabric of our nation from time immemorial. We regard the diversity
of religions and mutual interaction of religious traditions as a special
blessing of our times that can contribute to the building up of an
egalitarian society capable of overcoming the caste, creed, class, sex
and gender based divisive forces.
