Why should heads of all faiths agree to involve their religious institutions for a nation building programme?
Why not? They shall do it happily. It’s our country after all. These institutions wield tremendous power and potential to unite the country emotionally. For thousands of years these institutions have been the source of strength for all people as well as, sometimes, the cause of divisiveness amongst different communities and faiths. They are best suited to play the cementing role in uniting the country emotionally through the spirit of patriotism. Somebody will have to tell them that they need to do it. Build India Group is doing just that. They cannot afford to say “no” to such a proposition. If any religious head says “no” to this idea, history will not forgive him..
