Q : India is a multicultural, multi-religious country. What are the responsibilities of religious leaders?

Guruji : Tolerance to other traditions is in-built in the Indian ethos. India, where 80% of the population is Hindu, is fortunate, as respecting other religions is in-built in the very philosophy. Here, I would say, one has to evolve from being religious to being spiritual, which is the specialty of India.

Extremism of any sorts should be avoided at all costs and we should not allow politicians to play vote bank politics ... Religious leaders, especially, from the minority community, should be cautious of political designs.
