Culture of peace cannot be only for Abrahamic religions.
00:04
We need to be clear that abetting or condoning terrorism is like feeding a monster that will
00:09
turn around to consume us.
00:11
Let us build a culture of peace together rather than fail separately.
00:30
Let us build a culture of peace together rather than fail separately.
00:56
However, we find disconcerting trends in the world of today.
01:05
At the outset let me state that we fully agree that anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and anti-Christian
01:11
acts need to be condemned and India firmly condemns such acts.
01:16
However, UN resolutions on such important issues speak only of these three Abrahamic
01:22
religions together.
01:23
This august body fails to acknowledge the rise of hatred and violence against Buddhism,
01:29
Hinduism and Sikhism also.
01:32
The shattering of the iconic Bamiyan Buddha by fundamentalists, the terrorist bombing
01:36
of the Sikh Gurdwaras in Afghanistan where 25 Sikh worshippers were killed and the destruction
01:42
of Hindu and Buddhist temples and minority cleansing of these religions by countries
01:47
calls for condemning such acts against these religions also.
01:51
But the current member states refuse to speak of these religions in the same breath as the
01:56
first three Abrahamic religions.
01:59
Why is this selectivity?
02:01
Overall, Hinduism has more than 1.2 billion, Buddhism has more than 535 million and Sikhism
02:09
around 30 million followers.
02:11
It is time that attacks against these religions are also added to earlier list of the three
02:16
Abrahamic religions when such resolutions are passed.
02:20
A culture of peace cannot be only for Abrahamic religions.
02:23
And as long as such selectivity exists, the world can never truly foster a culture of
02:27
peace.
02:28
The United Nations is not a body which should take sides when it comes to religion.
02:34
If we are indeed selective, we will only end up proving Samuel Huntington's clash of civilizations.
02:41
What are we trying to build here is an alliance of civilization, not set up a clash.
02:46
I call on the UN Alliance of Civilization to act likewise and speak for all, not just
02:52
a select few.
02:53
Mr. President, Pakistan has already violated the earlier resolution on culture of peace
02:59
passed last year by this very assembly.
03:02
Last month, Pakistan arbitrarily transferred the management of the Sikh holy shrine Kartarpur
03:08
Sahib Gurdwara from Sikh community body to the administrative control of a non-Sikh body.
03:13
This act goes against Sikh religion and its preservation and protection.
03:18
You will recall that this issue of holy Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara finds mention in that earlier
03:24
resolution.
03:25
That resolution stands violated by Pakistan.
03:29
If Pakistan changes the current culture of hatred against religions in India and stop
03:33
its support of cross-border terrorism against our people, we can attempt a genuine culture
03:38
of peace in South Asia and beyond.
03:41
Till then, we will only be mute witness to Pakistan driving away their minorities by
03:46
threat, coercion, conversion and killing.
03:50
Even people of the same religion are not spared due to encouragement given to sectarian killing.
03:56
Mr. President, in today's world, intolerance, hatred, violence and terrorism have almost
04:02
become the norm.
04:03
There can be no doubt that terrorism, which is a manifestation of intolerance and violence,
04:08
is the antithesis of all religions and cultures.
04:12
We are troubled by the increase in resources, financial and otherwise, that are being made
04:16
available to violent and terrorist groups that misuse religion to justify and propagate
04:21
their agendas.
04:22
We need to be clear that abetting or condoning terrorism is like feeding a monster that will
04:28
turn around to consume us.
04:30
Let us fight such negative forces together rather than separately.
04:34
Let us build a culture of peace together rather than fail separately.
