JAMMU, Feb 28: Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, senior BJP and Kashmiri Pandit leader and in charge, Department of Political Affairs and Feedback, J&K-BJP presented a five-point Charter in the Webinar organised by the Global Hindu Federation (GHF) today. The Webinar was titled as ‘Global Hindu Thought Leaders Conference on Dharma Rising’ and was attended by the participants from 20 countries. The event was presided over by Malaysia based Dato Pardip Kukreja, president, GHF.
The inaugural address was delivered by Guruji Anand Krishnan, Bali-Indonesia and the keynote address was made by Pt. Satish Sharma, UK. Jeffery Armstrong, a prominent Indologist from Canada presented the concluding speech. Other prominent speakers from various countries included Dr. R.N.Gopee, Mauritius, Sanjay Kaul, US, Dr. Rajat Mitra, India, Maneesh Tripathi, Singapore and Satchithanantham, Sri Lanka. U2 Kumar and Krishna Raj conducted the proceedings of the event which started with sweet bhajans.
Chrungoo, who represented India, said that it was indeed enthralling to watch all the global participants joining together in a much hyped global debate on various facets of the Hindu thought leaders conference held after one year. He said, “we met last almost one year ago in New Delhi, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation were not able to take forward the agenda of Delhi conference to the next level as was desired. Having said so, here it is one more opportunity to rise to the occasion”.
On the slightly amended topic, ‘How Bharat can grow outside India’, Chrungoo maintained, “India infact is a geo-political denomination while Bharat is the Sanatan legacy of Civilizational Code of India. It reflects in itself anything and everything that the thousands of years of our history, struggle and achievements as a proud cultural unit we carried along with”. “There is no doubt that beyond the borders of India there is a huge amount of Bharat that resides from Seoul to San Fransisco and from Moscow to Mortan. While there is a more than a billion Hindu dwelling in India, 20 percent more reside outside India in almost all corners, whether it is US, Canada, Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific or the down under in Fiji, Australia and New Zealand. Time has come to tie together with the bond of Bharat living in us”.
Chrungoo in his presentation reiterated demand regarding establishment of an international Hindu Human Rights Commission that should be registered with the UNHRC and stressed the need to own Buddha and Buddhist philosophy fully (as a society) as key to widen our scope for socio-political spread globally.
