Propounding the concept of Bahudha-an eternal reality or continuum, a dialogue of harmony, and peaceful living, this book refutes notions of the clash of civilisations and explains how the Bahudha approach recognises the distinction between plural societies and pluralism. One of the lessons of 9/11 is that we are living in an inter-dependent world. The author argues that in these times of unprecedented change, old doctrines have to be transcended, and the language of dialogue needs to be reconstructed.
