Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said that secularism is in the blood and veins of every Indian. India is the most tolerant nation in the world and that secularism is safe in this nation not because of any government or party but rather because it is in every resident's blood and veins. He also emphasized the necessity of mother-tongue instruction for early childhood education.
Ours is a wonderful country, and happily, India is once again rising to prominence. No one can ignore us now that the world is once again recognising and respecting India. Don't worry about it, even though occasionally, minor things might be written by certain people. We can't help it, but some individuals are unable to process India's progress; they are experiencing indigestion," Naidu remarked.
Speaking at the Mount Carmel Institutions' platinum jubilee celebrations, he slammed the western media for frequently portraying India negatively while omitting the enormous strides that the nation and its people had made in a number of areas.
The Vice President noted that while the country faces issues including social injustice, poverty, and gender disparity that must be addressed, he also noted that India does not support colonial rule and has never launched an attack on another nation in its long history. "One can take it for granted that India is the most tolerant nation in the world." Secularism is discussed. It is safe, not because of this government or that government, this party or that party.
Secularism is in every person's blood and veins, and everyone needs to understand this. He claimed that anyone may become the nation's leader in India. Show me another country where all groups are given such equal opportunity. What lesson are certain people trying to impart to us? Look at what those so-called advanced, wealthy countries - I won't name any-are doing on the internal front. Violence has no place, according to Naidu, who added that growth requires peace. Governor of Karnataka Thaawarchand Gehlot, Margaret Alva, a former governor of Rajasthan and alumnus of the college, and Metropolitan Archbishop of Bengaluru Peter Machado were among those in attendance.
The vice president suggested that people should be proud of their own language and faith but not at the expense of others.
