Answers
In his famous speech in Chicago, where Swami Vivekananda addressed the Parliament, he spoke deeply on a number of factors which are extremely relevant to the issues we face in the contemporary world, especially in the country. He not only spoke at length about religious tolerance but also about promoting liberal sentiments among people. Here's the full text of his speech:
Chicago, September 11, 1893
Sisters and Brothers of America,
It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions, and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects.
"We believe not only in universal toleration, but accept all religions as true."
