“It is the Upanishadic message and practice that we need to adopt; that a nation, although culturally and traditionally plural and diverse in many ways, can still evolve and prosper through mutual understanding, on a cooperative basis and following the principles of inter-dependence, thus preserving the beauty and value of its cultures, religions and traditions. This is for me the practical application of ‘Vasudhayva Kutumbakam’ for our nations today”.
