| Summary / Abstract (Note) | During 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a clarion call to the leaders of the world about India’s long cherished faith, trust and contributions to the value of Peace in general and international peace in particular. Highlighting India’s contributions towards global peace and harmony he told the world leaders, “India gave the world ‘Buddha’ and not ‘Yuddh’ (War)”.1 He further made it explicit that India’s gift to the world is Lord Buddha’s wisdom and message of peace instead of war. Precisely this is the reason that India’s voice against terrorism to alert the world about this evil, rings with seriousness and outrage. |
