The upsurge in Buddhist oriented flexibility and religious plurality has reinforced awareness about inculcating harmonious ideas. It highlights the significant role Buddhism has to play in facilitating intercultural dialogue for the protection and advancement of kindness and concord. Besides, consultations with different religious communities could be done to exchange ideas on common concerns such as education, health, peace, and human rights. Not to participate in negotiation and talks is the prelude to developing a stereotypical insight of the other religions and cultures, which further generates a climate of mutual misgiving, strain, and anxiety and usually fosters intolerance and discernment. 2020-06-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/5151 Title: Analysing the Affectivity of Environmental Laws in India to the Response of Climate Change Challenges Authors: Minhas, Chandreshwari Abstract: The laws to deal with the various environmental problems are sufficient in India but there is lack of proper implementation. Though, there is no specific legislation in India to deal with climate change problem but this problem can be addressed through other environmental legislation in existence in India at present. India being a developing county is not legally bound to reduce its greenhouse gas reduction under the climate change regime. 2020-06-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/5147 Title: Philosophical and Moral Approaches to Inter-Religious Understanding and Religious Pluralism Authors: Rajan Abstract: we can say that it is important to realise that peace, prosperity and harmony are not easily achieved and maintained. It is a herculean task. Peace and prosperity do not occur in a day, there are obstacles as intrepid travellers struggle up the path to heights where the human spirit may struggle. Philosophical and moral approaches which bring numerous ways to tackle any possible obstacle are always there to help us in the formation of understanding and clarity. Now that the world has attached itself with a communicational unity, we are moving towards a new era in which it becomes both possible and appropriate for socio-religious thinking to transcend the fundamental and exclusive cultural-historical barriers; it is a time to exchange the values and virtues. 2020-06-01T00:00:00Z
