Mahatma Gandhi
has made it clear that he disapproved of seeking to convert people from one religion to
another. Conversion would mean asking them to give up the use of names, symbols and
rituals in which they were brought up from childhood and inducing them to adopt a new set
of names, symbols and rituals. At the same time, people who follow one religion
should understand the other religions professed by their fellow citizens. Most certainly, at least the religion of the vast bulk of our people
which necessarily influences the life of the nation, should be understood by those who
have been following other faiths. Integration does not mean the giving up of any
creed or customs or the adoption of those of others but consists in all round sympathetic
understanding. |
