7/15/16, 11:15:13 AM:: Khalaf Al-Harbi is a liberal columnist
and a thinker from Saudi Arabia. His liberal views and
objective columns on various issues are a big hit and widely
discussed across the world.
In his latest column in 'Saudi Gazette', he heaps praises over
India describing it as the most tolerant nation on the earth. In
his column titled 'India - A country that rides elephants',
Khalaf Al Harbi writes: "In India, there are more than 100
religions and more than 100 languages. Yet, the people live in
peace and harmony. They have all joined hands to build a
strong nation that can produce everything from a sewing
needle to the rocket which is preparing to go to Mars. I must
say that I feel a bit jealous because I come from a part of the
world which has one religion and one language and yet there
is killing everywhere. No matter how the world speaks about
tolerance, India remains the oldest and most important school
to teach tolerance and peaceful co-existence regardless of the
religious, social, political or ethnical differences."
