T’PURAM: Afghanistan is a lesson for mankind that communal disharmony within the title of spiritual fundamentalism can burn down individuals and nations and subsequently, we should always uphold humanity above caste and faith, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan stated on Monday.

Speaking on the digital inauguration of the 167th delivery anniversary of religious chief and social reformer Sree Narayana Guru, the Chief Minister stated in lots of components of the world “racism, sectarianism, and bloodshed were rampant” and the state of affairs was extraordinarily dire in Afghanistan, considered one of India’s neighbours.

In India too communal hatred has raised its head and all this may be put to an finish by embracing Guru’s message that each one human beings must be handled as one and never discriminated towards on the premise of caste or faith.

“Afghanistan is a lesson to mankind. A lesson on how communal disharmony due to religious fundamentalism can burn down people and nations,” Vijayan stated in his speech.

He stated what was taking place in Palestine, within the case of Rohingya refugees and in Kashmir have been examples of divisive spiritual fundamentalism.

“The ultimate cure for such social ills is the Guru’s message of unity in the name of humanity beyond caste and religion,” he added.
