We rightly celebrate our Independence day but I always say do not forget the price that was paid for Independence. We were not so violent against the British as we were against each other during The Partition. There were unbelievable brutalities. If only we face it we can come to terms with it. You cannot ignore it. You have to let the people know the price paid for Independence of India,†said Karan Singh, the nonagenarian philosopher, politician, diplomat, author, thinker and scholar.
Karan Singh participated in a virtual session of Ek Mulakat Visesh organized by Prabha Khaitan Foundation and presented by Shree Cement and engaged in a lively conversation with Lady Mohini Kent Noon, author and founder-chairperson of LILY Against Human Trafficking, which covered a wide range of topics from religion, education, Vedic wisdom, quantum mechanics, Sufism to The Partition. The event was conducted by Swati Agarwal, Ehsaas Women of Mumbai.
Responding to a question on the role of religion in society, Karan Singh said, “I have been involved in the interfaith movement for the past four decades.
The problem is that people spend crores of rupees building mosques, temples and gurudwaras but interfaith meetings are nobody’s baby. We are still continuing our efforts to bring people together and spread understanding (among different faiths).
