India is a multi-cultural and a diverse nation with a flourishing history of pluralism that has been thriving for thousands of years. Among the many faiths represented here are Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism. As the world’s largest democracy, India presents a unique opportunity to understand a long and multifaceted heritage of religious diversity. With this reality in mind, Columbia Global Centers | Mumbai hosted University Chaplain, Jewelnel Davis, and four Kraft Global Fellows from May 24-June 3 for an intensive field study on Religious Pluralism in India. Through visits to important sacred sites and exhibitions, and interactions with experts, the team learned about the history, practices and contemporary issues related to different religions in India and explored the relationship between religious communities.

The time spent in the capital city of New Delhi allowed the fellows to understand the importance of diversity as a founding principle of Indian democracy. From delving into the growth of ancient religions like Islam and Sufi culture, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism, as well as being introduced to the inception of the newer Baha’i faith in India, the fellows steadily acquainted themselves with the plural nature of coexistence in India as well as its challenges. Jordana Fremed, a senior undergraduate student, felt that the fellowship experience will continue to shape her for years to come and observed that “This experience gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in cultures different from my own, and to engage with and learn about new religions that I may not have otherwise explored.”

because our it's written in ou constitution and preamble to that India is secular country . this means there are no restrictions on one's religion.one can promote his religion but not for the cost of other like human sacrifice etc. I think fraternity is also there in preamble which means living as a family. no one can exploit ones religion for profit like politicians do there are so many points.
