Indian Ethnicity and Religious Heritage
as individual attitudes. We have not been able to solve even our petty differences like calendar dates for observing Paryushanas and similar other problems. Our total population is very small and yet we have not been able to evolve any synthesis, which would permanently unit us and raise our ideological and socio-religious status in the world. It serves no purpose to take pride in ideological moorings if the said ideology is to remain static in the books of the learned and has no dynamism in actual life. Conventions like this do supply proper forum to consider such problems lest they may not turn out to be mere social gatherings.
