“Islam occupies a unique and significant position,” claims Mr. Doval

In his speech, Mr. Doval brought up that India is home to the second largest Muslim population in the world. He said that the community also holds a significant place in the nation. He said, “…Among its numerous religious groups, Islam occupies a unique and significant position, with India being home to the second-largest Muslim population in the world. In fact, to give an idea of the scale we are talking about, Indian Muslim population is almost equal to the combined population of around 33 member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.”

NSA hails ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’

NSA of India in his address even praised India for its welcoming nature. He said, “India welcomed Arab exiles (in the court of Raja Dahir of Sindh), Jews, Tibetans, Parsis, Shias, Bangladeshis, Afghans and many others with open arms. This enduring tradition of accommodation is a testament to India being a deeply rooted multiethnic, multi-religious, and multilingual society. ”

He also expressed, “This philosophy of cooperation and dialogue in Islam has over the centuries merged seamlessly with the ancient Hindu civilizational tradition of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The World is One Family’. It was not a quirk of history but it was only by being open to accommodating various worldviews and ideas, interactions, and assimilations of various cultures, beliefs, and practices that India emerged as a sanctuary for persecuted people of all faiths from across the world since times immemorial.”
