Reacting to the increasing dialogue on “intolerance” in the country, the Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama said the Indian Constitution stressed on secularism and religious freedom.
Speaking at the launch of Tawazun India, a city-based thinktank that focuses on “counter extremism”, here on Sunday, he said India was the best example of religious tolerance, where non-violence and religious harmony was propagated as early as 3,000 years ago. Stressing on the need to educate the young in secularism and teach them the “goodness of being peaceful”, he said secular ethics should be part of modern education. He said the attack on people in Paris was a setback to people in France, but a strong will among the multi-religious population in Europe should prevail and the elders should tell the young about peaceful existence.
