New Delhi:
The free flow of thoughts is important to avoid conflicts linked to religious identities, the National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval said Sunday.
Emphasizing the need to focus on conflict resolution, he also observed that “introspection” for states and societies has always been important.
Doval’s comments came in the context of larger issues linked to the conflict between the State and religion during the launch of the Hindi version of the Book of the Turkish scholars -state Ahmet T Kuru ‘Authoritarianism of Islam: Underdevelopment: a global and historical comparison ‘.
The book has been published by the Khusro Foundation.
The phenomenon of the relationship between the State and religion is not exclusive to Islam, although in the Abbasid government there was clarity about the role of the State and the clergy, said Doval a meeting full at the New Delhi World Book Fair.
I was deliberating in the broadest context of the book’s subject.
The former minister of the Union, MJ Akbar, also spoke at the book launch event.
In the context of Islam, Sufism is practical because “it teaches us a relationship that is not hostile,” Akbar said.
